This Skirt Again

Do you ever go through phases when you just can't get enough of a certain clothing item?  Oh good, me too!  Right now I can't stop wearing this skirt!  I love that the polka dots add a fun feminine touch.  At the same time, the dots are so small and the skirt is grey so it works as a wonderful neutral base to an outfit.  (And the elastic waistband doesn't hurt.)


I went with a neutral and lace look for this outfit by adding a white lace top, grey tights, grey and lace shoes, and a pearl necklace (of course).  I think the overall look is soft and feminine and I love it!





I'm participating in some fun link-ups today!  One of my link-ups is with the Modern Austen for the Pantone-Inspired Color Challenge (I'm wearing Paloma).  I'm also linking-up at Greater Than Rubies for a "one piece many ways" challenge.

What I'm Wearing:
Shirt: Loft (exact)
Skirt: Loft (exact)
Necklace: Simply Charming Boutique (similar, similar)
Tights: Anthropologie (exact)
Shoes: Gift (exact)

  2. Hi Whitney. I am Ada.

    I first stopped by your blog last week, totally loved your outfits but didn't have time to comment. I am so glad I found you because you put together some cute, girly outfits and you have a beautiful curly hair and a gorgeous smile. I am loving this Skirt and the Flats, too. You cannot go wrong with Gray. And Loft is one of my faves, as well. And I love Polka Dots.

    I am remixing my closet this whole month of April. I'd love for you to take a peek, so I am inviting you to check out my blog. I also wore a Nude Lace Top, yesterday.

    Have a Great Tuesday, Ada. =)

  8. Whitney, this is such a cute outfit and I agree with Megan, that you nailed the trifecta of lace, polka dots and pearls. Not to mention, that I am a HUGE fan of elastic waistbands! LOL!

  10. I feel that way really about all the things I've bought this year. I've been a lot more mindful about what I'm buying, which really means that I love it all and want to wear them all the time.

    1. You know what, maybe that's why I'm becoming "obsessed" with the things I buy...because I've been a lot more careful about what I've purchased lately. I guess that's a good thing!

    I can't stop wearing this pink lace blouse I bought a few weeks ago-- I want to wear it with everything. All the time. Every day. Okay, I'm exaggerating, but I really love wearing it, so I know what you mean! :)

  14. I kept looking at that skirt every time I went into LOFT, and now I'm rather sad about not picking it up. I love how you kept the feminine vibe with the lace shirt. So glad I traveled to your blog through your comment on mine. I love your style! Plus, you're a teacher. AND, you're a blogger who's not terribly far away from me. (I live in the Baltimore area.)
