Hello! This skirt is one of my January nuuly picks. It is listed as a midi skirt, and I guess it would be if you're 5" 11" and a size XS! While maxi skirts are more popular during the summer, I was determined to make this one work in January.
At first, I was at a loss of how to style it for this up and down weather (It's been between mid 30s℉ (-1℃) in the a.m. sometimes, but it's also been in the 40s℉ (4℃) 50s℉ (10℃) and 60s℉ (15℃))! I tried on all of my jackets and a few cardigans to see what would work the best.
The Details
You know, I thought I would be all over denim with this look--a shirt, a jacket, or even both, but none of the variations I tried looked that great. Plus, I didn't like a regular shirt collar at all with this look. What I did next--you know me--when in doubt, I use the opposite side of the color wheel for inspiration. This coral top is one of the few long(ish) sleeved tops I have, so it was the clear winner. Add to that a jacket that had a defined (drawstring) waist and I was happy with the look.
These boots seemed to work better than my work boot style ones, although, I may give them a try before the month is over. The string tie was implemented into the look, with a white stone necklace and pearl earrings.
The Takeaway
As always, layering is key for cooler weather. Wearing this a different (colder) day. I wore a t-shirt under an olive green top and denim jacket. That particular day, tights under the skirt would have been a good idea, too. (It was in the 40s℉.)
Proportionally, I preferred a defined waist jacket over the long skirt.
