I Really Love My…Sailor Skirt
I decided that I
would start a new blog series called, I Really Love My…, and share different
items that I love and showing them worn multiple ways or multiple times.
The first item featured is this navy blue sailor skirt. I
love a good high-waisted skirt. I don’t care
what anyone says but I find them to be very slimming with a shirt tucked
in. I think that they are ultra feminine
and very retro.
I purchased this skirt at Banana Republic a few years ago on
a whim. I thought it fit me well but I wasn’t
sure if I loved it. I decided to buy it
and try to look at different ways that I would wear it. I will say that this
has stood the test of time and has proven to be a favorite item of mine.
I like this one because it is a knit material and has these
great double buttons up the front. I
think it accentuates the waist and hips and shows off my curves in a positive
way.
I am showing you the skirt worn as a spring/summer option
with a beautiful linen paisley tee from JCrew.
I think the tee tucked in and with these bright shoes, also from JCrew, is
a great casual and fun look.
The second look is how I wore it today since it was a little
cooler. I paired this navy and green
striped jacket from Target over top and wore nude heels (Nine West) to
work. I love this look because it is
still professional-looking and is super comfortable.
I would caution you that when wearing this type of skirt, do
not wear a sailor type big collared shirt and appear that you are actually
indeed a sailor. While the look is cute,
it may not exactly be right, in my opinion, for a grown woman. I usually like
to do a trend on one item and not the whole outfit to avoid looking like I am
wearing a costume.
What are some clothing items that you have that have stood
the test of time? I am looking for ideas from you, my readers and followers, to
contribute in the coming months. Have an
item that you just can’t live without? Email me your story to curvygirlontherun@gmail.com for a
chance to be featured in an upcoming post.
I am looking forward to hearing from all of you and seeing
your stories and pictures!
