Summer 2026: A Week of Skirts
Once more, I decided to shop my closet with a category in mind to create some outfits following a theme, in this case: skirts! While not as cool as flowy dresses (I’ll be sharing some favorites soon), I do prefer skirts over flowy pants when it is really hot. Since I have a great collection, I thought it would be fun to try to find some new combos once more. With a variety of tops in my closet, the possibility for new outfits is almost endless.
I wore this for Chik-fil-A cow appreciation day and added some cow spots to get a free chicken sandwich. It was fun to already have some black and white polka dot earrings to add to the “dress like a cow” theme. I love this fun XCVI skirt!
I was pleasantly surprised that I wasn’t too hot in this breathable short sleeve sweater over my tank. I wore this to thrift with my friend Rachel in Chattanooga. We had a yummy breakfast following by a little shopping. I found some cute snack bowls for the boys, 2 pretty seahorse plates, a pair of sandals and 3 pieces of clothing.
I actually had forgotten about this blouse (which I had thrifted a couple weeks prior when I took my mom thrifting). She tried the top, but the light pink print was not flattering with her coloring and washed her out, so I decided to try it since I really liked the lemon print. Finding that it worked for me was a happy surprise! This was an “on the fly” outfit: I decided to try the combo for church on a Sunday and after looking at it in the mirror decided it worked. There is no purple in the print, but it doesn’t matter: I think adding the belt really made the difference in this outfit between wearing something and styling it. I love this combo.
Jodie always talks about dressing in a professional manner to go to doctors appointments, so these are outfits I wore to the doctor. First up was an ultrasound for my son then the next day a follow up with my mom’s cardiologist. Even though the top is 3/4 sleeves, it is really nice and loose and I felt pretty cool in it. I hadn’t worn this skirt in a while, so I pulled it out.
I could have chosen shorter skirts for my skirt week, but these are some of my favorites. I’ve been working on puzzles on my bedroom floor, so I like to be able to sit in whatever I am wearing. This second outfit was again a new combo with loved pieces.
A bientôt!

Love them all, and do you notice a difference by dressing a bit professional?

I am not sure… I do usually have questions, lots of them, so I figure it won’t hurt to look like I am not off the street =)

Love all of these! I’m working on my collection. I have a thrifting BOLO list in my phone and long skirts long skirts are at the top of the list. They’re a bit challenging to find in my area.

I haven’t thrifted a maxi skirt in a while…

Mireille, you have some fantastic and unusual summer skirts! Versatile too, as they look like they could be adapted to spring and fall as well. Skirts are a very good option in the hot summer months, and having lots of summer top choices in your closet really makes for lots of choices. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your week!

Yes, all of these work great most of the year!

That purple skirt is amazing, what a colour. I also love skirts better when it’s hot. But to be honest, it’s so hot here this sumner that I wear shorts all the time.

I have gone through phases: this week, I am planning shorts for most days.
Joanne
You have so many pretty skirts.

I spy my favorite skirt in there! I really like that top with it. I love how you pick a theme for a week. I’m not near as intentional, but I probably should be.
