New Skirt – Never Say Never (6/13)

Yesterday I bought this navy printed skirt, dark navy – Waikiki LC (#8 and #9 details). When Angie posted” 10 Must have for Spring & Summer”, and said Midi Dresses & Skirts, I said Oh, NO, it is not for me, then Volume on the Bottom, again NO, No, High Rise and Paper – bag waists, Oh, Definitely Big NO…., this season is not for me I am going to skip all. Since there was not my number of skirt I wanted to buy, (it was sold) I tried this skirt on the proposal of the seller and felt in love and it came home with me. So, I bought this skirt (midi, volume, some kind of paper-bag waist),
NEVER SAY NEVER. Now I have to eat my words, as usually Angie said. I need to adjust my eyes to this style but I think it works for me, as I am petite. What do you think? Please honest opinion?

I tried to style the skirt with some items in my closet. As the skirt is casual I put some t-shits but I tried to dress it up with blouses.

1. Black t-shirt, white sandals and bag.

2. Pattern mix – my favorite stripe t-shirt, white ballet flats and bag, and pearls.

3. Ice blue patterned t- shirt with silver pattern (new – Reserved, #10), silver sandals and bag.

4. Light blue blouse with lace, silver sandals and bag and thin necklace (Swarovski).

5. Red tomato blouse, coral patent flats and coral bag, and necklace
(Swarovski).

6. White blouse, untucked, white ballet flats and bag, long gold necklace.

7. The same white blouse, but tucked, bronze gold sandals, rose gold clutch and necklace.

Thanks for looking! I appreciate any feedback.

Wow, what a versatile skirt -so many good options. I would have thought it would be harder to style.
Since it had so many strikes may I ask what made you try it on in the first place? I have a hard time knowing when to go outside my comfort zone.

OMGoodness, what a GREAT skirt for you! It goes with so many things in your closet! I like all your styling attempts, with the exception of #7. I think what I don't care for in that one is the sleeve length hitting right at where the top stops at your waist, not as flattering. I don't mind it in #2 because of the fab pattern mixing.

Dianna

Gorgeous skirt, and pretty versatile too. You look amazing as always, Mirjana. Love all the styling options, my favorites are 1, 2, 5, and 6, but all are great.

Mirjana

Barbara Diane and Elizabeth P , thank you for very much.
Barbara Diane, I liked the print and the seller said me that is the great skirt and pushed me to try.
Elizabeth, thanks for your useful comment.

Ups, cross posted, Dianna, thank you very much for commenting and your always encouraging words.

Toban

This is your perfect rendition of the style. I am in awe of its versatility in your wardrobe. Beautifully styled.

Sisi

I like this story! Isn't it nice when you think something will not work and then, unexpectedly, it works? That sales assistant has good eye! I find this skirt absolutely flattering on you. I especially like nr. 1 and nr. 5 - such a merry outfit, and you look fab.

I love it on you, and I covet it. It seems to go seamlessly with the items you already own. How fun!

You are giving me lots of ideas for styling a skirt from J Crew I just ordered. I will need to tuck in a top. Your tops look tres chic with your skirt. When this skirt arrives, I need to shop my closet first, iike you, before heading to Nordstrom's. If I had to choose, I iike #1 best because it creates more of a seamless line, shoulder to end of skirt. That might be also because I personally like a trimmer look on top if the skirt is full.

Fun to eat our words and own up - that's the way it goes in fashion! Good job trying something new, Mirjana.

I'm going with #2, #5 and #7 as my faves.

Toban, Sisi, Christina F and C J thank you kindly.
Sisi, I agree she has good eye.
C J , I always try with the items in my closet, and maybe but one more, just do first with that you have.

Beautiful skirt, Mirjana, and you have shown so many great styling options - you are so good at it!

I LOVE the combination with the coral in no 5 and also the light blue in no 4. But they are all really good.

Becky, Firecracker, JAileen and Katerina thank you very much for your comments and so much compliments.
Firecracker and JAileen, yes, it is really very versatile skirt I didn't expect that when I bought it.

Staysfit

I love how well this skirt works with all these tops but my favorite outfit here is the one with the red top and accessories. Maybe the shop attendant pushed you, but I think you have a very open attitude about experimenting with trends and finding a way to incorporate them to keep your style fresh and always chic.

Love this skirt will all the looks so much I will not choose a favorite- they are all winners....and so are you for your styling abilities.

Well done!

Joy

You scored! So many lovely outfits. My favorite are 3 and 4

Torontogirl, Staysfit, Efbgen and Joy thank you very much for your comments and such lovely words about my outfits.
Torontogirl, you made me smile.
Staysfit, you are right about experimenting with trends, but always with little hesitation at first moment.
Efbgen and Joy I am really happy that you like these outfit. Joy, especially these with blue as I like them too,

Amy Isabella

W.O.W. you really have an eye for making things work. EPIC

jussie

Beautiful. All the tops work pretty well to my eyes. Well done! And yay for trying new styles

Diana

What a great skirt! Lots of great styling options here, 1 and 5 are my favorites. I will say that I'm not wild about the longer sleeve length coupled with the high waist in 2 and 7 but that's a small issue and those outfits still look good.

Brooklyn

Gorgeous MJ. I am thinking about a paper bag waist skirt for summer too so this has given me lots of ideas. Love the version with the black tee the best. You are so cool!
