Easy winter outfits with skirts

It’s not *quite* freezing yet so I’m enjoying some in-between dressing right now, and I’ve made quite a few outfits with midi skirts and sweaters this month! This is an easy winter outfit idea for work and it has definitely become a habit of mine. Here are four midi skirt and sweater combos I’ve been enjoying:

Oops, am I a creature of habit or what? As I was laying out outfits for the week I recognized a bit of a pattern in color choices and silhouettes. Half of me thinks I should “really branch out” but every time I do whatever cool, different thing I buy just ends up hanging out alone in my closet. I’m embracing formulas for getting dressed. I have to get outside faster, I only have like 7 hours of daylight to enjoy now 😦 Here are some ways I’ve worn midi skirts lately:

All white

I love this outfit. And yes, I did tuck my sweater into my bra for this look. I can extend the longevity of this outfit a bit by swapping in some warmer brown boots. I haven’t found any tights I like with this one yet, though.

Belted

I’ve punched an extra hole in a few belts recently (there is a real tool for this but I, unscientifically, have been hammering a nail through the belt. I only recommend this if all your belts are old, cheap, and otherwise thrifted) to give waist definition to my skirts. I like that this allowed me to do a half tuck here.

With a blazer

I am surprised by how much I liked this oversized blazer with my leopard midi skirt! I think that because the skirt has a slimmer cut it worked better than it would with an a-line skirt. I felt like a boss all day in this.

Just kidding. I don’t know if I really liked this outfit, though. This thrifted sweater is so cooool yet I am intimidated by the sleeves. Maybe with a non-patterned skirt I would be more comfortable? Please advise

Boots

And just for fun: I asked on Instagram this week where people got their favorite sweaters from. The results were all over the place! The most common recommendation was Everlane, but other good answers included:

• The men’s department
• Thrifted, 40-year old LL Bean
• My aunt bought it off QVC

Hope you are staying cozy.
