Sorry not participating much of late due to schedule.
I bought this silk Theory skirt for $12 in early spring at consignment store as a planned near-orphan, meaning I had to acquire some the parts before it could be adopted into an outfit. It is a good style for me with a waist that fits, stitched down pleats at top, the fabric is flowy but not too stiff or full, and I love the array of neutrals.
i did have the cotton T shown and the pumps, but hoped to get a banded-bottom top and needed suitable flats for hours-wearability. Several months later I found the French Connection top here I've shown before, and then recently the flats. Meanwhile I fretted that it might stay an orphan.
White and ivory tops are not typically my best colors, but one or two in versatile styles are useful, and this one is easy to toss on with most any bottoms-skirts, pants, jeans. The T has seen its days of wear but still holding up, but I think a T-type look works to dress it down a bit, and so replacements in different colors ought not to be too difficult or expensive to keep the skirt in play, as the banded-bottom look trend fades out (before returning again!).
1--skirt with "dressy" sweatshirt + AGL flats
2-with pumps--and in case I dresss it up more
3) BR brown T worn untucked as very dressed-down.
4 tucked and belted
There are other tops and lengths that work as well.
Also shown is Tignanello oyster-pearl shoulder bag. I haven't "cut tags" but I really like it as a neutral that is my version of white--lightens up my dark neutrals as well as brighter colors--and I think I am likely to actually use it throughout the week instead of keeping on the shelf.
What do you think? Can you "date" this skirt to Theory year ----, or is it a pretty good basic?
