Inspired by Jill: Cargo Skirt and Black

November 11, 2024 /

One of the ways that inspires me to shop my closet is to find inspiration for outfits from others, typically bloggers I have followed for a while. I have gotten a little particular about some of the accounts I follow on IG because I do get tired of the mentality of buy buy buy. One of the things I like about Jill from Doused in Pink is that she often shares post where she shares several ways to wear an item or shares a collection of outfits she has worn following a theme (for example how to wear leopard print over 50).

In a recent post, she shared 3 ways to wear a cargo maxi skirt and the outfit above drew my eye: I had pieces in my closet to make it my own!

While I have a pair of socks booties, I decided to make a few changes to my outfit to make it slightly different. I chose a pair of booties I bought from Valerie’s Avenue a year or so ago. It is one of my favorite pairs because of the beautiful embroidery in the back. I now am an affiliate of Valerie’s Avenue and have met Yenni a couple of times. She works full time and also has her online boutique where she shares some really neat pieces as her small side business.

The faux leather jacket is a fun piece to have when I want to add a little edgy feel to an outfit. I also added some fun jewelry I received as part of a giveaway I won from Halftee. I really have enjoyed wearing both the earrings and necklace the last couple of months!

My husband gave me that pretty heart necklace with the amethyst for our 22nd anniversary: he did well!

I wore the skirt and the bodysuit with olive sneakers mid September. The skirt is one that is wearable all year round which made it a good purchase back in the spring.

Slits on cargo skirt makes them a lot easier to wear: otherwise the slim fit would make it sometimes difficult to walk in especially if you tend to walk fast like me. I am thinking a cozy cream sweater and tall tan boots (or cream combat boots) would be a cute winter outfit!

And if you do not have an olive cargo skirt, don’t be too literal with this outfit: you probably have a pair of olive pants whether they are cargo style, jogger style or even skinny style!

A bientôt!
