I Want to Like Skirts but There’s Just Something About Them…..

“We were emerging from the period of war, of uniforms, of women-soldiers built like boxers. I drew women-flowers, soft shoulders, fine waists like liana and wide skirts like corolla.”

-Christian Dior

Straight Hair Lean Basking in Burgundy

I have a love hate relationship with skirts. I want to love them but I hate styling them for the most part. You would think they would be as simple as a pair of pants. Somehow, it isn’t as basic as jeans and a cute top though! Despite the challenge I always face styling skirts, time and time again I find myself falling for skirts with unique cut or pattern like this one:

Turtleneck Basking in Burgundy

 

With this skirt I decided to keep it simple and just allow the asymmetrical cut and buttons take center stage. To do so, I turned to my tried and true favs- over the knee boots and a plain black turtleneck! The verdict? I still don’t feel like skirts are one hundred percent me. I do feel that I am closer to cracking “the code” to working such a classic item into my closet!

Question time: How do you feel about skirts? Do you struggle with them or are they a go to in your closet?

    I am a lover of skirts! I do agree that they are harder to style than jeans. Adore your entire outfit. It’s edgy yet classic.

    I totally get the way you feel about skirts! They’ve always been kinda on the fence for me too. But lately I’ve been finding more and more I love – and they’re usually a unique pattern or style as well! This skirt is so fun on you. And can I say that these photos are just gorgeous? You look amazing!

    Love this skirt! I went to a private high school so I had to wear a skirt on a daily basis, so I try to stay away from them but there are so many cute options, especially for spring!

    I struggle finding a good skirt. I usually go for A-line because it fits my shape better! This one looks so cute on you!

    I loveeee denim skirts – but that’s it! I’m not a big fan of skirts all-around, just cute button up denim ones I can dress up or down in the spring.

    Skirts are a go to in my closet. I can’t get enough of them! This one looks good on you and I like how you paired it with the boots <3

    You can totally pull off a skirt girl!! Your whole outfit is so fab! But I know exactly what you mean. I’ve purchased more than a few skirts recenetly and I love them, but I don’t feel as comfortable in them as I would wearing something else.

    I’m with you- skirts are SO hard for me for some reason! I always love a good pleated skirt- those are the ones I always end up buying haha
