I think something that works for me when weight training is to workout 6 days a week. I will work my legs monday, wednesday & friday and arms tuesday, thursday & saturday. One hour lifting & an hour of cardio. Sunday is a day for rest. :)

Well... I would say: experiment!
I used to exercise with weights every day... because I was a damn maniac! I just loved challanging myself, and push myself. And by that feel strong mentally.

But I'm not that (irrationally) motivated nowadays, so it's more exciting to just exercise 2-3 times a week -- but very hard!
And exercise the whole body at once to stimulate your endocrine system (to make it produce more testosterone and growth-hormone).
Also experiment with what kind of exercises you do -- I'm certain that you can find a way to double the fun and muscle growth and weight loss.

And it should be commonsense that the body needs more rest...
After all: muscles aren't built in the gym -- they are built while resting.
And if your goal is weight loss, know that more muscle burns more calories/fat.

To build muscle yes skip a day in between,and if you're still sore wait until it subsides. Soreness is a sign your muscles are repairing after breaking the fibres down in workouts...if you don't give them time to heal you'll still be breaking them down with no opp to grow. Before I was aware of this,in high school I would work out all the time and wondered why I wasn't growing.
