#7 day Skirt Challenge with Gail of Is this Mutton

January 14, 2022 /

Last time Gail (see her recap post here) suggested a 7 day skirt challenge it was during fall so I was happy to jump on the opportunity of challenging myself to wear skirts in winter for 7 days. I always wear a skirt or a dress at church and there were 3 church days during that 7 day stretch so I only had to push myself a little more to come up with some other outfits. It was great to winterize my skirts and to be creative. One of the things I discovered is that I really love skirts with boots.

I do not think I have worn this hand me down skirt in winter and I found that I absolutely love it with boots and decided to wear it twice in one week. I love the contrast with the brown boots and I tried a new combo with my plaid jacket: stripes instead of my usual neutral.

I enjoyed that first outfit so much that I decided to wear the skirt a second time and paired it with this blue sweater I have had for years. Added a belt to define my waist and my beautiful Caite and Kyla jacket had to make another appearance. Probably my favorite Poshmark find ever!

I really enjoy wearing pencil skirts in the winter as they show off my booties and boots. It was finally cold enough to wear my warm red sweater on this day.

Our weather was a little crazy at the beginning of this challenge with mild warm temperatures in the 70s for 2 days before dipping in the 30s and 40s therefore this short sleeve shirt. Still made it feel like winter with the hat and boots.

I had forgotten how much I like booties with skirts too, especially the pencil shaped one: I just find the silhouette very flattering. A bad hair day required a hat, this one was picked up this fall at a festival.

A date night look that I actually did not go on, I wanted to add a little variety to my skirts outfits: I paired the skirt with my thrifted Chinese Laundry peep toe booties and the Amazon sweater featured on Sunday’s post. I need to get my bangs trimmed!

My last look was so cozy! I wore it after a 5K run which was great because I was quite chilled for a while. We also went to visit a car museum that afternoon. I think I will be doing a 7 day dress challenge in a week or two. There are so many ways to winterize dresses and it will be fun to wear some I haven’t had a chance to this winter!

A bientĂ´t!
