Last week I went through my wardrobe (again) to re-organise and cull some clothes that I haven’t worn in a couple of years.
The thing is I have a few favourite pieces that I’ve been reluctant to sell or donate simply because I’d like to one day wear them again… if I end up losing the 20 or so kgs needed to get back into said items.
I went through my clothes again and while I still kept half a dozen items ( and yes, I still can’t fit into) I did have a pile of items that I don’t think I will miss if they are donated.
While I was doing this cull, I reacquainted myself with my current clothes to see if there were any new possible outfits I could put together for #everydaystyle.
There is a pressure to wear something different everyday and there comes a point where new clothes are needed to offer some sort of difference to the existing outfits I’ve shared.
While I scanned through my current stockpile of clothes, I rested my eyes on one of my favourite skirts. The skirt was bought from the Cue Factory Outlet at Harbour Town and it has been a wonderful addition to my wardrobe.
Wearing my Veronika Maine Skirt
The colours in the skirt allow it to be paired with a number of different tops to create different looks. I realized I could make a new outfit with a t-shirt I acquired at my Katies shopping haul last year. I’m now considering what other tops in my wardrobe can be paired with the skirt.
Which then got me thinking how wise it is to have a skirt like this in your wardrobe. A bright and bold coloured skirt that can be worn with a number of different tops. It’s a fashion rule basic to buy items that can be mixed and matched with other basics in your wardrobe.
I’ve found just a few of these skirts available online – in limited sizes because of the sales that are currently on. If you want to wait to find a similar skirt, the best places to try are Gorman, Cue, Veronika Maine, Review and Boom Shankar.

By choosing some coloured tops that pick up a colour in the skirt, you can potentially create a weeks worth of outfits – from the one skirt.
Don’t be afraid to mix patterns with your bold print skirt either. The key to making this look work is by ensuring 1 colour is constant in the skirt and top. Or you can mix similar tones from the one colour.
Are you a fan of a bold and bright skirt? Have you culled your wardrobe recently and reacquainted yourself with new pieces that can be given new life?
