Double Duty with the Ageless Style Link Up

Danael of Outside the Stacks came up with the theme for this month: double duty! I thought right away to a trick both Jodie (Jtouchofstyle) and Grace (Graceful Rags) have used: wearing a skirt as a top! I purchased a cute skirt at a consignment store last month and have worn it already a few times. I love the colors and the waist is smocked so it stretch and is really comfortable.

The colors lend themselves to many colorful tops (aqua and peach come to mind but I decided to wear it with white. I added my rattan belt for some added definition at the waist and chose my new colorful espadrilles (here).

My tote is a souvenir from our trip to Spain in 2019. I am so glad we took that trip to Spain and France then. We actually traveled to Europe 3 times in 4 years which is very unusual for us. I am very grateful for that opportunity because we usually would only try to go every 4 to 5 years or so!

I haven’t worn a statement necklace in a while and this one, I think I found at World Market 4 to 5 years ago. I have some pieces of jewelry I do not wear often but hold onto. And now onto the fun part of the post! How will this skirt look as a top?

I tried it two ways: tucked and untucked. I knew I wanted a black bottom and after trying it with a black skirt, I decided to pair it with these very old bermuda shorts. They are my least favorite waist: low but I usually can make them work and they are pretty comfortable.

I actually don’t mind the proportions with it untucked either. I think it works fairly well both ways. Now I do apologize for my squinty eyes in all of these pictures: I need to look up and not right at the phone camera!

I can’t wait to see what the other ladies chose as their double duty piece of clothing! It is fun to try to be creative and while I sometimes like to reach for some basics and create simple looks, it is equally as nice to try to come up with something different.

And now to link up with the Ageless Style Ladies! Don’t forget to stop by their blogs to check out their double duty outfits!
