Knit skirt with a Graphic Tee
There are many definitions and types of knitted fabric! I chose this particular pencil skirt to share today because it is one of my favorite, it moves and stretches as needed and have several years of thrifting it, I still love the print! I have worn it with white and navy before but never with grey so in the interest of diversity of outfits, I chose this graphic tee to style it. The earrings and tee pull some of the pink in the skirt and the sandals mirror the grey of the tee. I pulled out my grey and pink crossbody to tie it all together. It’s funny how I…

White for Summer with a Button Down Skirt with the Ageless Style Link Up
Today, I am sharing a fun little outfit I wore a few weeks ago on a little staycation in Marietta, GA. Not wanting to let a free hotel night to go to waste, I packed up 3 of my boys and we went to stay at the Marietta Conference Center. Before checking in, we enjoyed a little walk in the square, bribing the boys with ice cream as a reward for taking some blog pictures for me. We also stopped by a couple fun shops including a kids’ toy shop. Since Ada and I are sharing skirts this month, I decided to pair that theme (button down skirt) with our…

Asymetrical skirt: Creativity in Dressing
When you have a month long series featuring skirts, you try to be creative with the outfits your present. There are still 4 more types of skirts to share. Today, it is the asymetrical skirt. You can really only see the asymetrical lines in the first picture as I forgot about that being the focus. I chose to dress down this thrifted skirt by adding some casual elements to it. I think the 2 different directions of the stripes makes this a really fun skirt. It has some stretch and is a pull on skirt. I originally thought to pair it with a different top but it just didn’t look…

Dressing up A Pencil Skirt
I really enjoy the lines of a pencil skirt but still want to be comfortable while wearing one. So nearly all of my pencil skirts are made of nice stretchy fabric and have an elastic waistband. I only purchased clothes from SheIn once and this was one of 4 skirts I bought. I have worn it a lot with casual tees so this time I want to dress it up a little while still creating a comfortable outfit. I chose this pretty purple lace tank I found at one of my favorite local consigment store (Uptown Cheapskate) a couple of months ago. I have tried really hard to make sure…

Athletic Skort: Hiking in Style
When Ada suggested a skort as part of our July skirt series, I was on on board. I had seen this Target skort shared by several bloggers and wanted to try them. The fabric is moisture wicking so they are actually quite comfortable in the heat and humidity. I planned my outfit for this hike up Stone Mountain with blog pictures in mind and also knowing I was planning to meet Yenni from IdeasValyen that afternoon. Stone Mountain Park is located in Stone Mountain, GA and the hike up this large granite mountain is definitely more fun in the cooler month. Therefore we tried our best to stick to the…

Midi Skirt: Brighten Your Day!
I wore this bright and cheery outfit for Sunday church in June. I have had my Modcloth skirt for several years now and you has seen featured on the blog several times (here, here and here). Since receiving this bright fuschia top from I’ll be have what she’s wearing, I have found several opportunities to wear it and found a perfect match in the bright pinks in this skirt. I often wear fitted tops with this voluminous skirt but I couldn’t pass up this color combination. I went ahead and front tucked the blouse to create a little shape and chose an older pair of wedge sandals. These have really…

Casual Denim Skirt Outfit
Skirts in July! Ada and I are bringing you loads of inspiration for the skirts in your closet! Maxi, midi, mini, knit, wrap and more! Today, I am sharing an outfit featuring one of my two denim skirts. I love the longer cut of this one and how the split and light wash keep it modern. I paired it with a top from I’ll have what she’s wearing that I won in a giveaway a couple of months ago. I wore espadrilles I picked up on clearance last year at Old Navy which makes this outfit about $20: probably one of my most budget friendly outfits: my mom gifted me…

A Gorgeous Maxi Skirt
Skirts… So many different styles! One of my favorites is probably the maxi skirt, especially one that has a great flow. On our trip to New Orleans, I stepped into a little overcrowded boutique on Magazine Street. There were racks filling all of the spaces, flowy dresses and skirts, hats and accessories. It was cramped but some of the pieces really caught my eye. One of them was this absolutely gorgeous skirt. It was not a budget piece but I was on vacation! So I decided to buy it and wore it the following day and just loved it. Look at all of the color possibities: olive, pink, fuschia, yellow!…

Wrap Skirt Summer Outfit
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…

Floating into the 4th of July with the Sunday Showcase
I have been cranking out some blog posts preparing myself for a month of skirts in July with Ada but had to share this fun floaty dress I wore one day in New Orleans for our July Sunday Showcase. I picked it up in a boutique at home thinking it would be nice on hot days with or without a belt. I refrained from adding a belt and let it loose in these pictures. The only thing I will say is that it did need a slip so I stopped by Walmart to purchase one before the pictures. I thought that this garage door accross the street from our rental…
