1 Skirt 10 ways (Take 2)

My all time favourite feature i have ever had on my blog is the 1 skirt 10 ways.

So i decided to do a new one, this time the skirt is a lovely thrifted navy blue & white poka-dot maxi number.

So the concept is still the same i take the same skirt wear it 10 times each styling it a different way.

So here goes number 1!

Skirt ~ Thrifted

Cardigan ~ Mix for Coles

Vest ~ Just Jeans

Emily all grown up

So something you probably don't know about me is that back in the day (my teens) i was a fully fledged Emily the Strange fan.

I had the cats, the bags, the t-shirts, blankets & more, I loved her!

Yesterday while shopping in Jay Jays Forster i came across this baby, she stood out amongst all the other lonely items in the $5 bin & I just had to have her, I just had to relive some of those glory years.

What I'm wearing:

Skirt ~ Vintage/Thrifted

Top ~ Jay Jays

Cardigan ~ Target

A guest post for the lovely Lauren

Hi everyone, today i was featured on the fabulous Lauren Loves blog but unfortunately my pictures did not appear in the scheduled post.
So because i cant go & change it on Lauren site i thought i would show you here (also thanks to the people who emailed me once they saw it).
Hi everyone I'm Alex, the creative mind (that may be a stretch) behind Life after 20. My blog is based around my whole life & this includes what i wear on a daily basis so one of my features i do is a "10 ways to wear" & at the moment i am sporting this AMAZING lime green vintage maxi (well on me anyway) skirt that i thrifted for a hefty £1

To date i have worn it 6 different ways (well 7 if you include this one) with the challenge being to make it a totally different outfit every time, to mix up the seasons & to just generally push my own fashion boundaries.

Anyway onto this outfit, this is a super casual way of wearing the skirt, its also a great representation of how you can mix a vintage skirt with some cheap Primark pieces for a great on trend outfit. Also pairing the navy blue with the green is a very subtle way of colour blocking with the jacket adding warmth (cause this is the UK you know!) but also giving it a edge!

What I'm wearing:

Skirt - Thrifted vintage.

Singlet/vest - Primark

Denim jacket - Primark.

I would wear this outfit shopping, to wonder around town, out for a meal, really anywhere!

What do you think of this combo? Where would you wear it?

1 Skirt 10 ways, outfit #6

So I'm now on my 6th outfit (see the others here!), this one is more of a winter outfit using one of my FAVE scarfs (even if its from Primark).

The other thing i love about this outfit is the mix of vintage and very cheap accessories to make a super cute outfit.

I think i could wear this to any casual event.

Skirt: Thrifted vintage.

Singlet: Primark

Cardi: Primark

Scarf: Primark.

1 skirt 10 ways, #5

So here in the UK where in the middle of summer.... So in true British style the past few days have been wet and cold!

This is reflected in this outfit (find the others here!).

I have teamed the lime green skirt here with my all time fave jumper which everyone else seams to have a love/hate relationship with.

Skirt - Thrifted Vintage.

Jumper - Thrifted Vintage I LOVE these two paired together, What do you think?

1 skirt 10 ways, #4

Here goes number 4 of my 10 ways outfits (1, 2, 3) i really enjoyed styling these outfits and think they have all come together really well.

This look below i love, its a very casual day look that i have wore many times.

Although the nude singlet/vest is very muted against the skirt adding the floral cardi makes sure I'm not to washed out.
Skirt: Thrifted vintage.
Singlet: Primark
Cardi: Cotton on.

1 Skirt 10 ways, outfit #3

Hi folks,

Here is outfit number 3 of my 10 ways with the ones skirt (find 1 & 2 by clicking on them!)

I was wearing this top when i bought this skirt and was pleasantly surprised when i teamed the two together that they went quiet well together.
I feel that this button up men's top goes really well with the skirt and adds a masculine touch to this very feminine skit.

I would wear this outfit very casually. Maybe thrifting or going to a market.

Shirt: Cotton on mens (Australia)

Pin: Kenzie and Coco (Forster Australia)

Skirt: (Thrifted Vintage)

What do you think of this combo?

1 skirt 10 ways, outfit #2

So here is look number 2 (if you haven't seen one find it here!)

I always worry about teaming a vintage blouse with a vintage skirt or dress with jacket (you get the idea) for fear of looking like i have just walked out of my nans closet.

But in saying that i like this mix, the soft top teams nicely with the structured pleats of the skirt and i like this outfit all round.

I would wear this to something that requires a little more of a dressy feel than the previous outfit like say a christening or a lunch date.

Cream blouse -thrifted
(maybe not my best angle)

What do you think of this one? Where would you wear it?

1 skirt 10 ways, outfit #1

Let me explain the concept here, i bought this skirt for £1.00 from a thrift shop right by where i live. It is the most amazing shade of green EVER and is a really nice satin feel with a elastic waist and flowing pleats.

I am also at this current moment doing a 100 day outfit challenge on youtube, so basically i am not shopping and am making a different outfit everyday out of the clothing i have (i am doing 50 days here in the UK and then 50 when I's back in Australia).

So (getting to the point) i decided to make 10 different outfits using this one skirt and document them here for you on my blog.

So lets get started with on of Summers biggest trends and one i was dying to try out COLOUR BLOCKING!!!

You can see I'm wearing a fuschia singlet/vest, a oatmeal cardi.

I really hope you enjoy this series and please tell me what you think of my outfits!
