what to wear with BR denim skirt

Hi All,

So I've finally taken the time to figure out how to take pics in a mirror (turning off the flash on my camera was *not* intuitive) and create a photobucket account. On the advice of Antje, I'm making my first YLF post. After attending the YLF Seattle swap (thanks ladies) a few weeks ago, I'm starting to think that I shouldn't be dressing myself. Every compliment I've gotten in the last two weeks, has been when I've been wearing an item from the swap. As posted, I came home with an awesome denim skirt, however, after years of grad student (non) style followed by mom-casual style, I'm trying to figure out what to wear with it and what items I might want to add to my wardrobe.

Would love to get advice/thoughts/etc on how to make this skirt look fab, started with a basic BP camisole (thanks Angie for the tip), a BR sweater (swap again), and pretty much my only belt. Also, would love feedback on the boots and ideas for other shoes and tights.

Hi Jennifer, I think you look great. I actually brought this cardi - it looks very nice on you and the color fits you so much better. I didn't see it at the swap, and I am glad to see it working :). I like it with the belt and paired with orange. I like the boots, but I am not an expert on boot proportions an such.

Jennifer -- the outfit looks great. I love the patterned belt with it. You can wear tights and low-heeled shoes with the skirt -- and of course flats or sandals when the weather is warm. I wear all kinds of tops with my denim skirt, as long as they are short enough tops for skirts. I think you'll find that it's very versatile.

The skirt looks awesome, I prefer it with the belt.

I could also see you in it with a jersey top and sandals.

great finds!!

Those boots make the outfit, especially with the belt added in. This is something that fits in with my personal style too (which primarily consists of boots and cardigans, hehe)

You could add a collared shirt in a cream or brown to the mix, and then a corduroy jacket (cropped, modern style) on top of it. Mix and match to your heart's content!

You could also wear brown microfishnets if you need leg coverage while the weather is still chilly.

Jennifer, you look GREAT! This is a very fab outfits, and absolutely wear the belt. Very nice. Now you have a good first formula: pencil skirt, layering top or cami, cardigan, belt, boots. You can apply this in many ways - you might have other pieces in your closet that you can put together this way!
Congrats on posting your first picture. You're spot on!

Welcome Jennifer and good to have you on the forum! You have done a sterling job posting your first picture AND putting together your first YLF outfit. Well done!

The belt makes the outfit. I love the boots! I also know that there are funky specs in this mix which kicks the entire outfit up a notch. So ideally, you need a pair of casual knee-high boots as well. On your list for September.
