How to Dress up a Skort
The last time I shared this skort on the blog, I wore it casually for a hiking outing with a tee and sneakers. Today, I am sharing a few tips on how to dress it up and these ideas can be applied to a variety of casual pieces. I only have one skort and I keep it folded along with my burmuda short and my camo mini skirt. One way to get more wear out of your clothes is to organize them in a matter that makes sense to you so you do not forget what you have. All of my clothes (minus my pajamas, undergarments and workout clothes) are either hanging in my closet or folded on a shelf. I want to be able to see what I have.
Add a dressier topper
This could be a moto jacket, a blazer or as in my case a kimono. This kimono makes a statement with its bright colors and length.
Choose a pair of dressier Shoes
This could be a pair of heeled/wedge sandals or as I share here, a pair of shoes that has bling.
Accesorize with Jewelry
I kept on the jewelry I wore at church that morning: a turquoise pendant that used to be my grandmother’s and a pair of gifted earrings from ShopLctv.
Complete your look with a fun bag
Finally, I added a fun straw tote I bought in France in 2019 but you could add a cute little clutch to really dress it up.
I love coming up with new ways to wear my clothes and I had never really thought about adding a kimono to a skort outfit. I really like how this turned out! Here is a closer look at my accessories!

Since a skort just looks like a skirt, it makes sense that you can dress it up a bit! I love the color palette you put together in this outfit, and the studded sandals are SO PRETTY!

My husband loves to laugh at my studded spiky sandals but I love how sparkly they are.

It was fun to add interesting and a little less casual detail to it.

That is a lovely outfit! I think skorts are fun to dress up or down since they do look like a skirt and function as shorts.

Exactly!

I never had a skirt. Hardly see them around here. But they sound pretty perfect. Also ideal to cycle with.
mimifce
It would be perfect for cycling for sure!

Skorts are the best if you ask me. They look like a skirt but with the coverage of shorts. I love that! The way you styled your skirt is perfect. Your accessories really jazz it up and I love your sandals. The studs are right up my alley!

Love the way you dressed up your skort with the printed peach kimono and fun accessories! Your turquoise and silver pendant is a beautiful touch. I am with you about having as many of my clothing options in sight. Things tucked away at the bottom of drawers are often forgotten and seldom used! Enjoy your week and thanks you sharing!

Yes, even with my dresses, I try to make sure a piece is pulled out so I see all of them!

That kimono really make the skort look like a fabulous skirt.
And I love how you organize your clothes. I even try to remember that some of my pjs and workout wear can be used for every day too.

Skorts are so versatile. I need to add some to my closet. They were perfect when I was teaching. I used to have a pair of sandals like that, but I was always gouging myself as I walked! Love that tote, Mireille!

Ha ha about the sandals: I definitely have to watch if I sit down on the ground. The tote is from France!

It’s such a cute skort on you and I love the studded sandals as well! 🙂 I think that kimono was the perfect topper with the netural olive too 🙂
Thanks for joining the Weekday Wear Link up 🙂

What a great kimono, they really come into their own in hotter months don’t they. I have a lovely white version which I can take on holiday, Have a super week my friend. Jacqui x

A white one would go with everything and make an all white outfit so pretty!
