Same Skirt, Different Day.

Sometimes I find myself using a specific clothing item over and over again, because it can offer some serious versatility. Today I'm showcasing a navy blue and cream striped skirt from Banana Republic outlet. I love navy blue for a few reasons: It's classic, it easily goes with other clothing items and accessories, and it transcends seasons. I love navy blue and cream so much, I used them as my wedding colors! You can really take so many directions with it. Below are only a few options of outfits that can be used from such a classic type of color and print.


Option 1:



Khaki blazer: F21 $25.00
Orange Scarf: Kohl's $8.00 on sale
Cream collarless button down: LOFT $15.00 on sale
Skirt: Banana Republic Outlet $18.00 on sale
Boots: Target $17.00 on sale

Michael Kors watch: Gift

Option 2:


This outfit uses the same base as the above one, but I switched the boots for brown wedges and ditched the scarf and blazer for a bright yellow statement necklace. I love yellow and navy together!

Option 3: 

Layering adds dimension and warmness to the outfit, while the nude pumps with the mid-length skirt elongates the leg line.

Option 4:

Navy blue goes wonderfully with bright hues like this pink short-sleeved sweater. The mixing of pattern with the leopard print flats adds funk and interest to the outfit.
