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:
Outfit Details:
Topshop Utility Jacket (Similar jacket here) | Gap Soft Spun Knit Tank
Banana Republic Floral Box-Pleat Skirt | ALDO Handbag (Similar Pink Handbags)
Peep Toe Booties from Brown’s (Similar Peep Toe Booties) | Saje Sacred Circle Necklace c/o
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.

It’s so good to know that florals are here to stay! It’s tricky buying pieces in transition seasons because you want to make sure you can wear it for a while. Loving this skirt and the pleats!

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
