In previous posts I’ve been eluding to how my shopping habits are changing.  I now try to buy pieces that I not only love, but also pieces that can go with many other items that I already have in my closet.  While perusing the tall section of Loft.com a couple of weeks ago, I came across this mustard yellow pencil skirt.  It was regularly priced at $64.99 and I bought it on sale for $26.00. I wasn’t particularly looking for a mustard pencil skirt, but you know (if you’ve been following the blog for a while, that yellow is my happy color). My reasons for purchasing this skirt were: I loved this color, I know that a pencil skirt is a classic piece that can be dressed up or down, plus the medium weight fabric of this skirt is perfect for any season.  I knew my options would be truly limitless. So today is my first ever installment of a re-mix post.  I decided to wear the same black classic pumps to show that you can get four totally different looks just by switching out accessories and your tops.  But imagine when I change out my shoes, it creates four more entirely different outfits.

This first look could also be paired with black knee high boots or black ankle booties.

What I’m Wearing – Look #1:

Skirt: Loft (sold out online), similar and here | Jacket: Topshop, similar  | Tee: Alloy, similar | Bag: Kate Spade (old) | Shoes: Ivanka Trump (size 12) via Nordstrom Rack, similar up to a size 13 | Scarf: Target, similar here and here

For look #2 I will be wearing my camel leather round toe pumps as another option.

 

What I’m Wearing – Look #2:

Skirt: Loft, similar and here| Blouse: T.J. Maxx, similar and on sale | Belt: Banana Republic Factory Store | Shoes: Ivanka Trump via Nordstrom Rack, similar up to a size 13 | Bag: Louis Vuitton

Look #3 could also be jazzed up with my red suede pumps.

 

 

What I’m Wearing – Look #3:

Skirt: Loft, similar and here | Shirt: Forever21, similar here in tall | Bag: L.A.M.B via Nordstrom Rack, similar for less than $15 | Shoes: Ivanka Trump via Nordstrom Rack, similar up to a size 13 | Watch: Michael Kors | Necklace: Ebay | Bracelet: Forever 21

 Look # 4 I could add a brown belt and bag and wear my navy flats or tan heeled penny loafers.

 

What I’m Wearing – Look #4:

Skirt: Loft, similar and here | Sweater: Gap, similar available in regular, tall and petite | Shoes: Ivanka Trump via Nordstrom Rack, similar up to a size 13 | Necklace: Thrifted | Bag: 31. Philip Lim for Target | Bracelets: T.J. Maxx and Ebay | Watch: Michael Kors

Sidenote: My sweater is too big in the body, I will be slimming it before I wear it again.

I really could have posted at least 25r different looks with this mustard yellow pencil skirt today, but I figured four was a good starting point.  I will show more looks with this pencil skirt in future posts as I wear them.  Especially this spring and summer, I already have outfit ideas in mind for it. Floral print blazer, printed blouse, sleeveless blouse, cardigans, tank top and denim jacket all paired with various sandals.  As you can see a mustard yellow pencil skirt is a vary versatile piece.

I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful.  Thank you for reading!

 

Hugs,
