Wrap Skirt Summer Outfit

July 6, 2022 /

I am always surprised that I am more drawn to my dresses than my skirts even though I have a nice variety in each category. This fun summer challenge of wearing skirts in July has helped me utilize that section of my closet more and helped me create more outfits that will keep me cool and stylish in the summer heat. Today, I am presenting you my wrap skirt that you saw this spring styled 4 ways in this post.

I wore this outfit out and about during the week and capitalized on the little yellow flowers in it to create my outfit. I could try a contrasting color in the future or even stripes. I definitely wear a lot more tanks in the summer as they balance out flowy bottoms.

My son and I had fun taking these pictures in front of a medical center: the UPS guy kept coming in and out and I was feeling very self conscious. My son was still wearing his masks so with that anonymity, he didn’t care. The skirt is a faux wrap which makes it easy to wear.

One thing I have noticed with wearing tucked in fitted top is that posture is really important in pictures. Slouching does not create an attractive line. I wrote a post illustrating that last month and it all started with wearing this outfit and the first picture my son took in the morning.

Wearing skirt in the summer is a great alternative to shorts and gives you more styling options than dresses. Remember how footwear can create a whole new look. A heel and a lacy camisole would really dress this up or wearing flip flops and a tee would make it more casual. The ruffled and asymetrical lines of this skirt make it more versatile for me: a true midi is sometimes more difficult for me to style.

Do you have a favorite style of skirt? Do you go for patterns and prints or for one color? I probably am more inclined to wear a print maxi or some type of casual pencil skirt than any of my other skirts. Those are the ones I feel more comfortable in.

A bientĂ´t!
