So, it turns out that I actually own five white skirts, not the seven I’d originally thought. Two of the skirts I’d counted as white are
actually cream (totally different). And I
found a third a third cream skirt running around The Valley of the Duplicates
as well. But, I’ll talk about those
later; today is about one of the white skirts.
Specifically, this white skirt:
This is my casual white skirt. I also have a pleated white skirt (okay, two,
but I’m getting rid of one) and two white linen skirts (one of which will also have
to go). Because I’m not great at mixing
dressier pieces with more casual pieces, having skirts that can be dressed down
is pretty important to me. For example,
I’m sure some bloggers could do it, but I can’t imagine wearing my pleated
white skirt with this look. I think this
skirt works with the slouchy sweater (JC Penney) because both pieces are
casual. Ditto for the boots (thrifted)
and the infinity scarf (Steven Madden via Macys).
Maybe when I grow up I’ll do a better job of mixing
dressy and casual, but until then, I’m afraid I’ll need to maintain my larger,
less versatile wardrobe. So, the casual
white skirt stays. And so does the
sweater; I know it’s not the most flattering shape, but darned if it isn’t
comfortable.
Happy Friday, All!

You know, I don't own a single white skirt. Seeing this adorable outfit makes me think I need to hunt one down soon. Love the relaxed vibe of the sweater and those boots are super cute. It's such great combination!

I don't own one either, nor do I own white pants. Too paranoid about getting stains on them. (I'm constantly wiping my hands on my jeans for whatever reason, so white pants wouldn't stand a chance. Not to mention white is usually see-through, and I've had enough OOPS moments to last me forever.)
ReplyDeleteI love white skirts and pants, you can bleach them clean. I like the color combo, unusual and very cute!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the whole look, the white skirt really pops! Perfect look for the season :)

I really like that sweater. It's eye-catching. The shape is so unusual and funky and interesting to me. It flatters your brain rather than your body, because it says, "Look at how unusual and funky and interesting I am! I have chosen a sweater that makes you THINK!" :-)
ReplyDeletethis is such a perfect combination of casual pieces that it looks effortlessly put together and polished! and the boots look AWESOME here!

Yes, everyone needs one casual white skirt. My dressier whites are actually cream, like yours.
ReplyDeleteI think the shape of your sweater is so interesting! And now I want a white skirt too.
ReplyDeleteI dont have a white skirt!!! I use I have one and wore it to death- really must find another!
ReplyDeleteCute outfit!! I don't own a white bottom of anysort-much less multiples as I reside in the land of Klutzalvania (of which I am QUEEN)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find the "WTH was I thinking??" village on the map of Nosh Opping-perhaps there isn't one?? There sure is in Klutzalvania!! Right next to "It was ON SALE-berg"
As we get better with styling anything can go with anything.I think here the boots do the trick and tie it all together.Cowboy boots might look even better.
ReplyDeletewell darned if it isn't a cute outfit, because YES it totally is! :D
