Wardrobe Workhorse: Striped Skirt

Happy Friday, folks. It’s time for another installment of Wardrobe Workhorse, where I pat myself on the back for getting my money’s worth from one item in my closet. Today’s winner: my striped mini skirt I got at Madewell last winter. As you’ll see below, I’ve worn it in all seasons and for all occasions. I’ve even glanced in all different directions while wearing it.

I don’t want to get too controversial, but I’m starting to think a striped skirt might be just as versatile as a classic striped tee. Yep, you heard it here first. If you’re looking to add this workhorse to your wardrobe, I’ve found a few options for you.

Don’t you love a good vest? It’s great for keeping you cozy all day without being too bulky under a coat. Or in Florida, it’s good for making you look like someone who is clearly from out of town. I wore this for the first day of vacation last week. Driving to the Indianapolis airport in the morning, it was in the low 20s, so the extra layer was quite helpful. When we got to the Orlando airport a few hours later, it was about 2 million degrees. Or maybe 80…I don’t remember exactly. Obviously my coat came off, and this vest spent a good part of the day on my arm and on the back of a chair. But gosh darnit, it’s winter and I’m going to wear some faux fur, even if that means getting a few weird looks from the locals. I’M WEARING A T-SHIRT, OK? WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
