What I Wear-How To Wear A Skirt Casually




I know a lot of girls tend to wear jeans because they simply don't know how to dress a skirt down. I'm certainly aware of the fact that some occasions just do not call for "classy/dressy" outfits. I live in a small town where the majority of people wear sweats (not to mention pjs....no comment)
So for me to head into Wal Mart in pearls, a LBD and heels is sort of ridiculous. There's a difference between dressing with care, and plain old dressing inappropriate for an occasion. Yes, you should put effort into how you dress. No, you should not go to  a casual event wearing stilettos and a dress suit. 






So, I'd like to share a few tips with you on how to wear skirts In a casual setting. 
  For instance, my sisters and I are going to the movies and a hockey game tonight. Obviously I can't wear something super dressy. So here's how I decided what to wear:
I chose my Kosher Casual skirt, it's long and comfy, yet not too dressy. The dark wash is good for settings where I might get something on me (I.E sitting in bleachers ; ) 
After I picked my skirt, my go to casual item is usually a hoodie. Hoodies can look frumpy very easily. Try to pick a hoodie that's fitted (I only wear zippered hoodies, which we call "zippies"). If it's baggy it just doesn't look good with a skirt (in my opinion). The obvious choice for under my hoodie was a matching tshirt. You could stop there, but I always like to add a cute pair of earrings and a simple necklace. Don't add a statement necklace or anything too dressy if you're trying to keep it casual. 
A note on my shoes, I used to think tennis shoes with skirts was absolutely tacky! However, I realized it was because I'd always seen people wear skirts with actual running shoes. While that's fine, it's not my style. I saw people like Ashley and Olivia sporting kicks and realized, yes! That's it! So here I am, wearing kicks (tennis shoes)
So that's how I wear skirts casually. What are your tips?

  1. I definitely dress down 80% of the time. Comfort is becoming more of my friend over fashion as I get older! Love how your hair looks from the side :)

  2. I like your outfit Natasha! It seems just right for your plans. :) Your skirt is so comfy looking.
    My area is pretty casual too (we have a lot of hippie type people) so most of the time I'm dressed more nicely than the people I'm around! For me, dressing casually in a skirt means not wearing heels or anything too fancy in the way of tops and jewelry.

  3. Cute! I like the way you were able to "dress down" your skirt for a more casual look. :) I love that skirts can be made more casual, though...maybe by just wearing a simple tshirt or whatever. Honestly, I'm at that point where I think skirts are also way more comfortable than jeans, haha. So I'll wear them pretty regularly...and with lots of layers now that it's cold.

Here are a few comment guidelines:
This is an open discussion, being so, I'm open to other people's opinions! However, please keep the discussion nice and if you'd like to critique something, please do it tactfully! I.E-instead of "I hate that outfit!" putting, "I think the outfit is a bit miss matched, however I like ___."
