Ombré teal skirt- for Brooklyn

Jenni NZ

Probably not right due to the white at the top of it: but was idly skirt Googling after Carla’s post and thought of you Brooklyn! Isn’t Aje an Aussie brand? xx

Ooh, nice Jenni. I think the white part and the patch pockets would be deal breakers for me. But I will check it out if I get a chance. I do like AJE. And yes, they are Aussie!

Thanks for thinking of me.

That’s so pretty! I’d like it if the colors were reversed.

That's a gorgeous skirt, but it's interesting to think about how the white at the top really limits outfit combinations, at least to my mind. If the whole skirt were shades of aqua/teal, I'd treat it as a solid and wear it with...well, most anything! But the white really throws a wrench in the works. (I'd wear it with...white, of course. Teal might be weird unless there were white elsewhere in the outfit. A patterned top would need to have both teal and white in it. Color-blocking with a different color top would seem to call for repeating that color in the shoes or something, and then white in a different accessory, like a bag? It's doable, but you're playing outfit tetris, rather than just throw it on with anything and go....)

I think you are correct SarahD8- to me there is too much contrast between the top of it and the bottom of it, also making it less of a true ombré. I felt the white and the very high contrast would likely be a dealbreaker for Brooklyn too, but seeing it was two of her faves teal and ombré I felt compelled to post!
I personally think these expensive skirts ( this one was relatively expensive although not up to the highest designer pricing) would need to be pretty perfect and be able to be worn a lot, and I agree with you that the style of this one limits it.
It is possible that a skirt fanatic might not mind if they loved it. As a shoe fanatic I have been known to buy shoes that don’t turn out that practical, but since 2018 I have done way better in that regard
