A couple of weeks ago I announced that I had five white
skirts to deal with in The Giants Closet.
I wore one and then I probably got distracted by some color or a squirrel or something. But, I’m back on track now and, as you can
see, I did not get distracted by color (or squirrels) today:
Today’s white skirt is the other white skirt that I plan on
keeping. I paired the skirt (thrifted)
with a short sleeve sweater (vintage, thrifted) that I belted with a suede belt
(thrifted and worn backwards). I added
nude platform sandals (Banana Republic “Natalie”), a cuff (thrifted) and white
shell earrings (gifted). I decided to
pair the skirt with other neutrals because I don’t do neutrals very well and
sometimes I like to challenge myself.
Speaking of challenges, this shopping ban is killing me, but
I kind of like it too. I’ve gotten rid
of a ton of clothes and feel pretty good about it. For example, I’ve gone from five white skirts
to two and I’m happy with that decision.
I’m keeping a knee-length A-line skirt and this pleated midi and I think
I should be able to make do with those. Especially
because I don’t even wear white that often; which, yes, makes it even more ridiculous
that I ever had five white skirts.
Also, today is Thursday and much of my outfit is thrifted,
so I’ve linked up at Coffee and Cardigans for Thrifter Thursday.
Finally, if you haven’t already entered my giveaway for Sal’s amazing book, you can do so here. I’ll
choose a winner on Sunday.
Happy Thursday, Everyone!

Oh, now that's a lovely skirt, and definitely a keeper. You make me want to try an accordian-pleated midi skirt in the worst way!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving beige/nude/white color mixes a lot lately. Yours looks fab!
Love that most of this outfit is thrifted. That white skirt is beautiful and I am super glad that you decided to keep it. The pleating is really perfect. Thanks for linking up today!

Ooohhh... I love this skirt. Pleats open the door to my heart.
ReplyDeleteI love this. I think you hit it out of the park.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great skirt, I can see why you're keeping it! Your shopping ban is inspiring. I got 16 items out of the house, today, but I brought in 6... I

This outfit is fantastic! Great choice to keep that skirt... it's just lovely. And this neutral outfit makes me question your logic regarding not doing neutrals well. White ensembles are like ADVANCED neutrals, yo. And you're getting an A+.
ReplyDeleteLove this white & neutral outfit! That skirt is SO pretty... I need more midi skirts (they're so feminine & perfect for work).

You look like the Master of Neutrals in this post. So glad you are keeping that skirt! I like the backwards belt idea; I've only done backwards cardis.
ReplyDeleteI am struggling with my own self-imposed shopping ban. I'm one weekend in. But Terri at Rags against the Machine is doing her six-item capsule, and I feel like I could at least not shop in support. Plus, I want to wear everything seasonal at least once before I buy anything else. But I did sneak printed cropped pants in before the ban :D
Gorgeous outfit -- I think you're pulling our legs about not doing neutrals well! I like the different textures you brought together and that belt. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I really really like that belt with the white on white combo. Also - good job purging the white skirts! I don't think I have any white skirts - but I've only begun digging through the archives in my closet.

love the cuff, and do I notice some red lipstick? I don't remember seeing you wear that for every day before. I bought some red lipstick last year, but was never brave enough to wear it.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Very classy! :D
ReplyDeleteI've got my fingers crossed for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis white skirt is definitely a keeper. I have a white skirt in my challenge and it's my one and only and it's been a challenge keeping it pristine!
Whoa whoa whoa, back it up. That belt is RAD. Like, dang. I know there are probably other clothes in this picture, but that belt is hypnotizing me.
ReplyDeleteI like how you've paired neutral colours together. White looks good on you!!!
ReplyDeleteI see here a lot of expression and character, I like!
ReplyDeletegracey, you look stunning! i love this outfit on you! and good for you with the ban/cleaning out closets. can you come to my house next?
ReplyDeleteOh Grace, good luck with the shopping ban. I found it way more difficult than anticipated. I love this pleated white skirt. It is very flattering, fun and gorgeous on you. I also like the backwards belt idea. Who'da thunk it eh???
ReplyDeleteIt feels SO good to manage an unruly wardrobe. I really like this white skirt. If my pleated white skirt had been this length, I may not have been driven to dye it. (:
ReplyDeleteI love this skirt, Gracie! I was thinking of getting a white pencil skirt, but I think you've just convinced me to look for something flowy.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any white skirts, because I ruin enough clothes as it is :) But you've made me want one now! I love this outfit - it looks so comfy.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit Gracey. That belt with the white/neutrals is perfect! And a backwards belt? Don't mind if I do!!
