Black Skirt # 2 – The No-Brainer


I never had any doubts that I would keep this skirt:

February 13, 2012: with tights, boots, cashmere and animal

April 2, 2012: with tights, animal print booties & a cranberry duster

May 7, 2012: with animal, floral and more animal

May 30, 2012: with animal and neutrals

In fact, if I were to only have one black skirt in my closet (yes, I know it’s a ridiculous premise, but hear me out) I think it’d be this one.  It’s one of my favorite pieces, thrifted or otherwise.  I like the length, love the fact that it’s pleated and like that it plays well with both neutrals and colors.  Yes, keeping this one is a no-brainer for sure.

Happy Tuesday, All!

  5. I actually own only one black skirt and your exploration of the plethora in your closet is making me wonder if I might need a second slightly longer version. Hmmmm? I do love this one for all of the reasons you listed. Pleats are just great!

  7. I would definitely say that this one is a keeper. How many black skirts do you think you'll keep?

    1. I'd like to get rid of half of them, which would still leave me with a lot of black skirts, but hopefully only with those I wear.

  11. That really is a versatile skirt! I've yet to find a great basic skirt like that one. It's often hard for me to create an interesting outfit with a skirt.. but you did it well in all of these photos (my favorite one is the 3rd one though).
