Pencil Skirt Remix

I'm excited to be linking up with Briana from Work Clothes, I Suppose for Third Thursday Threads! This month's challenge was to remix a skirt two (or more!) ways. I immediately thought of my mustard floral pencil skirt that I love, but am continually stumped on how to wear it. (You can see how I wore it last here). But now, thanks to this fun challenge, I have four more looks to throw into the outfit rotation!

Because I'm a nerd, and everything has to rhyme or be an alliteration, or something clever, I give you The Professional, The Preppy, The Playful and The Potpourri.

The Professional

I love the color combination of cream and mustard. The lace is feminine, the pearls lady-like and the skirt adds of pop of color. The neutral accents help keep it work appropriate. 

Shirt: Loft Factory (love this option)

Skirt: Loft (light yellow floral, yellow and purple floral)

Shoes: Nine West (similar)

Necklace: Target (exact)
Watch: Fossil (very similar)

Earrings: J. Crew Factory (exact)

Bag: Lulu's (exact)

The Preppy

Pops of leopard, chambray, layers and a pearl necklace - it doesn't get much more preppy than this. This outfit makes me feel like I'm back in Tennessee where the outfits are classier, the hair a bit bigger and the lipstick a touch brighter.

Chambray: Loft (similar)

Sweater: J. Crew Factory (very similar)
Skirt: Loft (light yellow floral, yellow and purple floral)

Clutch: Nine West (similar envelope)

Shoes: Lands' End via Sierra Trading Post (exact)

Necklace: Ann Taylor (exact, see how to lengthen here)
Ring: Charming Charlie (similar)
Watch: Target (inexpensive similar, upgrade)
Earrings: Baublebar (very similar)

The Playful

As I mentioned Monday, I'm a self-confessed weekend slob. Pairing a fun graphic tee and sandals with a pencil skirt, blingy necklace and clutch makes for a fun juxtaposition. Way better than my usual attire of sweats and one of my husband's tees.  

T-shirt: Out of Print (exact, exact-plus, purple)

Skirt: Loft (light yellow floral, yellow and purple floral)

Sandals: Target (similar)

Clutch: Clare V. (exact)

Necklace: J. Crew Factory (exact)
Watch: Fossil (very similar)
Bracelets: J. Crew Factory (exact), Kreations (cute alternative)

The Potpourri

Since this is a remix challenge, for my last look, I took an item (or two) from the first three outfits to create a completely different look. The necklace and shoes from The Professional, the chambray, watch and earrings from The Preppy and the clutch from The Playful.

Chambray: Loft (similar)

Skirt: Loft (light yellow floral, yellow and purple floral)

Shoes: Nine West (similar)

Necklace: Target (exact)

Clutch: Clare V. (exact)
Watch: Target (inexpensive similar, upgrade)

Earrings: Baublebar (very similar)

I plan on wearing the first look with the lace and pearls to a work event tomorrow night, and I can easily see myself wearing the other three looks in the near future. Thanks to Briana for a fun challenge!
