Casual Skirt

I've become enamored of pencil skirts. They work great for work but
I'm not liking them so much for me as a casual Spring/Summer outfit.
Somehow I don't think it works for walking the dogs at the dog park.

So. What do you suggest for a more casual skirt for this time of
year? I have a casual a-line denim skirt but need more options that
just that one. I need something I can run to the grocery store in,
walk the dogs in, putter around home and outside in, something casual
but nice.

Many of my tops are prints so I need/want solids on the bottom.

Pres: Actually, a khaki cotton pencil does the job for me.
This one is Linen, and mine is cotton. It's not too well pressed (nor
would it hold a stiff pressing, if I tried.)
Khaki Linen
It's a touch shorter, and a little wider than my usual work pencils
(which are edgy and sharp. And support pumps well)
Mine doesn't have a tie belt, it has two large button tabs at the
waist, and rides on my hips.
The vibe is like khaki shorts.
Khaki is a great neutral and goes with just about any color/print that
you may have. Except denim. I don't usually mix them in an outfit.
Denim or Khaki, not both.

Siepres:
I actually like casual day dresses for the "casual, but not getting
dirty" activities. I just slip them on and head out the door. I have
a polka dot dress from ebay that is washable and easy to wear for just
these kinds of activities.

I love Pres's suggestion of a khaki skirt too. A-lines can be nice
casual skirts too, but good luck finding a good selection this year!

Min: Thanks for bringing up the khaki idea Pres. I'd forgotten I have a
straight khaki skirt with buttons down the front. I can, and have in
the past work it for casual outfits. Khaki is actually something new
to me. Before last year I'd never worn any and I now have two pairs
of pants and the one skirt.
I need to get some casual day dresses. I seem to either have
work dresses or sun dresses. I think something a bit in-between would
work well.

Judyanne:
I like a little more fullness for a casual skirt. More flexibility in
terms of movement. They seem to be showing a lot of skirts like that.

There are a lot of them on this page of Nordstrom skirts:
