Easy, Breezy Floral Box-Pleat Skirt

in Fashion, Outfit Post on

Just because it’s the end of the summer does not mean that it’s time to put the floral prints away. In fact, this floral box-pleat skirt was in the new arrivals section at Banana Republic. To me, that’s an indicator that the floral skirt is a great “wear now, wear later” piece. Any item that you can wear throughout multiple seasons (like the t-shirt dress I recently styled), is worth the investment. Of course, I did score the skirt for 40% off, so there’s that. Click through to see how I styled this floral skirt for late summer:

You may remember that I included this skirt in one of my Instagram flat-lay’s a couple of weeks ago. I took the photo the same day I bought it… because as a style blogger, that’s what I do when I buy new clothes. Doesn’t everyone do that? Maybe? Anyway, it’s quickly become one of my favourite skirts and I may even like it better than my button-front skirt.

How to wear this floral box-pleat skirt

While the weather is warm enough, I’m going to wear this skirt with a half-tucked tee or tank and cute sandals. A lot of my tops are long, so they look awkward if they’re worn un-tucked with a skirt. On the other hand, if you try to tuck a longer top into a skirt, it looks bulky. As far as I’m concerned, whoever came up with the idea for the “half-tuck” look is a genius. When it’s hot and sticky outside, that’s all you need to look stylish and put together.

Now that we’re starting to get some cooler mornings, it’s best to throw on a cargo jacket like I did here, or maybe a denim jacket. When the real fall weather arrives, I’ll switch out the peep toe sandals for ankle booties, add tights (even though I hate them), and finish the look off with a cozy cardigan.

  8. That is one beautiful skirt!!! It most certainly is an excellent seasonal transition piece and this is a very Autumn-friendly outfit! Can’t wait to see it again next spring/summer :]

  15. I love how floral print can transition so well from season to season! I especially like when the floral is dark like yours! I just got a floral skirt but it doesn’t fit me so I have to wait until after I have the baby to wear it…hopefully I got it in the right size. lol
