June challenge - skirts - Sunday added

I was planning to do pants week next, but it is getting hot - we are approaching 30C so I changed my mind and decided to go with skirts instead.
Here is selection of 7 skirts that I will wear starting tomorrow. And I will try not to repeat any other items this week as well - I was surprised how challenging it is. Maybe I am lacking essentials? Solid color skirts are newer additions - you can see how I am moving away from patterns and brights this year.

I am traveling and living out of a carryon, but am wearing a plain black skirt today with white and black print top and topper. I will try later for a picture. Both top and topper are simple pattern of black on lots of white. The top is a silk polkadot shell and topper a black paisley border print on white silky poncho . I have no jewelry, and a black crossbody bag with silver sneakers.

Gorgeous skirts - looking forward to seeing your outfits! I was also very into pattern and colour for most of my life and now am veering towards solids and more subdued colours. Seems to be since I let my hair go silver (you were one of my inspirations to do so). On me, the bright colors and patterns seem like too much now. My hair is the statement. Although now that it is getting hot I am craving bright colours again. Ever changing!

Joy - sounds like a great outfit, hopefully we will see the photo too,
Star - it is constantly changing for me too. The whole winter I only wore neutrals but now with sunny weather brights feel appropriate again. Better to take this changes in preferences slowly.

Gorgeous skirt selection! I tried doing skirts a while ago so I can relate. I found them way more limiting than I thought--possibly because the length/cut of tops for skirts seems so different than what I prefer with jeans. There's also the print factor which usually called for a matching top or a plain top. I'm looking forward to see how you tackle this! Might help me wear some of my patterned skirts!

OOOH! Yay! Fun skirts!

anchie, dresses are next

Angie - I was thinking about dresses next but don’t have enough for the full week - only 6 dresses. And I also struggle to layer over them for office AC and wear them on weekends only. Help in this area would be very welcome, since I love dresses and want to wear them more.

Easy sailing this week - fab skirts!

There was already a struggle this morning. I had so many constraints - weather, activities of the day and my physical comfort. It is raining so slightly- not enough for umbrella and too hot for a raincoat. So I am just ignoring it.
I decided to go with my neutral and softer look that I was sporting lately. What do you think? Does this even work?

Nice, I like it ! The cardigan seems the perfect weight for the weather that you describe.

Certainly it works! Just a bit more muted than the outfits we saw you in 2-3 years ago. Which is absolutely fair enough. I like how the cardigan tones with the sneakers.

Definitely works! I am a fan

I love it! Did you end up wearing the sneaks and how did you like them with the skirt?

Sneakers are not the best look but comfort beats the looks. Have been looking for navy loafers for ages without success, they would probably look better with the outfit.
And here is Tuesday.

Love your Tuesday outfit. No photo of my black outfit but I sm seeing most women of all ages in skirts this early summer, and suspect that everyone wants to wear something other than leisure wear. The stores are not carrying much in the way of skirts. My skirt today is shorter than I’d like. It is plain navy and keeps creeping above my knees. It is worn with a Breton striped linen tee in navy and white. a navy open cardi and darker greyed navy ballet flats and bag, and a small navy and white silk scarf worn as a necklace.

Oh I love this outfit. I think sneakers is an excellent choice for a modern, on-the-go outfit. Navy loafers would also look fab. You look amazing Anchie. These colours work for you.

Love the Tuesday outfit! Do you have navy or white sandals?

I do have both navy and white sandals but don’t wear them in the office.

Another great outfit. I love the idea of loafers with it but I think sneakers will work too. I struggle with the sneaker/skirt combo on myself but like how it looks on others so not sure what that is all about.

I will try taking tomorrow’s outfit photo with shoes, to better assess proposition.

I really like both outfits. Love the polka dot skirt! I like that you wore a blazer too, as I have a fondness for blazers!

Anchie you look fabulous in both of these and I love your hair with the white bag.

Fashion is so funky, as in trying to determine whether sneakers or sandals are dressier. I’m sure you know expectations in your office, but in the world at large, I don’t think it’s clear at all.

This is another great outfit. That skirt looks absolutely lovely for summer. On the way home, you could stop, take off the blazer, and enjoying a refreshment by the river.
