Dress challenge-1 skirt worn many times

I’ve worn this skirt 3-4 times in the last 8 days. On the long drive to and from visiting family, perhaps once while there, and again yesterday. With different black tops.
I didn’t leave the house yesterday so no jewelry or makeup.
Skirt from Nordstrom Rack a few years ago. Shirt from Talbots Outlet last year? Whenever ties on sleeves came out.

Barbara Diane I can see why you love this skirt, it is lovely on you. The colours and pattern are so nice and the cut and fall of the skirt is very flattering. I often repeat favourite combinations and outfits too.

Thanks Bijou. It's really comfortable too. That's why I wore it on the long car trips. I was surprised as last year I preferred a different skirt.

You look wonderful, Barbara Diane! I love the shades in your hair, the skirt print echoes them! I am an avid fan of black so it will pretty much always get a thumbs up from me:-)
Sometimes wearing things on repeat is just the most practical thing to do. Plus, this looks put together and comfortable. Neutrals are not as memorable as bold colours and prints, people will just remember that you looked nice, from head to toe!

What a beautiful skirt! It looks great on you, and also versatile. Have we seen you before? Your hair is lovely. I envy those of you with curly hair.

This is a great skirt and I can see why you reach for it often. Lots of options for tops, and I love the boho vibe.

Tina, thanks! Angie taught me about wearing the same travel outfit both directions. Although I spilled something on the top, so washer/dryer to the rescue. Lesson learned, in the future I have to plan for a different outfit for the return trip.
JAileen, thanks. I've posted photos before, but not very often. I have so many bad hair days, sigh. I often don't put on shoes until the moment I leave the house, makeup until I am the passenger in the car, and by the time I get home my hair is a mess again. Posting this was me getting over the idea that I need to look together to post. Although I wouldn't have posted if my hair was worse.

I forgot to mention that I wear it at different lengths, depending on my mood. Or the heat.

Thanks Glory. I have a lot of black tops, navy tops, but no other solid tops. I'm hunting for a lightweight red top with elbow or longer sleeves to change up the look.

You look elegant and just lovely, Barbara Diane. That top fits extremely well. And your curls are romantic. Wonderful to see you post.

That skirt is fab! I can understand why it got so much use. I have a soft spot for tie-dye and black/white so it’s a winner for me.

I can see why you like this skirt - it suits you and is perfect for travelling. I sometimes get into an item and wear it as much as I can within a week or two....

Angie, kkards, Aquamarine, shevia, suntiger, Brooklyn, Sal, thanks!

I should probably confess that one of the mornings I woke up, saw the skirt on my chair, and thought, why not

I have a different skirt I wore a lot last summer, and with a sweater in winter also. Maybe in a month or two I'll be in the mood for it again.

I’ e Ever seen black and white look so happy. The colors and pattern are so great with your hair. How would you wear the skirt in winter?
