Tuesday, September 3

Sorry for being MIA.  I had a family member I needed to visit at the hospital and it was quite a ways out of town.

I was planning to post the outfits I wore while out of town, but to be honest they were repeat outfits and the pictures turned out cruddy, so instead I put together a quick post to add to Audrey's link up at Putting Me Together.

I wanted to make it a little difficult for myself, so I picked what seemed to be my least versatile skirt and figured out some fun ways to wear it.

THE YELLOW SKIRT

(LOFT)

                   Rocker Chic

Black T-Shirt: NY and Co
Necklace: Dustee's
Tights: Hanes from Walmart
Black Booties: Ariat

         This outfit could be paired so many different ways: taller boots, brown accents, daintier necklace...

Country Chic

Plaid Shirt: Old Navy
Necklace: Target

The only change to this outfit was the top and the necklace.  I could have worn my black moccasin booties instead of my Ariat boots or I could have worn tall black boots (I have been DROOLING over a pair of Hunters).

Office Chic

White Button Down: Old Navy
Blazer: JcPenney
Kitten Heels: Union Bay 

Here I traded out button up tops, added a blazer, and exchanged the boots for heels.  I could have added a structured belt and I didn't put on a necklace since you wouldn't have been able to see it in this picture anyway.  

Preppy Chic

Striped Tank: Gap
Red Belt: Target
Red Flats: Kohl's

If you aren't crazy about the red, you could try green or black or blue or purple...you get the idea.  

Summer/Spring Chic

This shirt is really more of a teal color but it came out looking blue in this photo: LOFT
Necklace: Francesca's
Leopard Belt: LOFT
Leopard Flats: Target

The formula for this outfit is the same as the one above, but the colors and patterns make it look much different. 

I feel like my photos aren't revolutionary or anything--they are probably the same thing you see on all the other sartorial blogs that are everywhere.  Hopefully someone will get an idea from seeing these photos though.  I know it helped me see how a seemingly not-very-versatile piece really can fit into my wardrobe!
