As we’re getting glimpses of spring and some warmer weather ahead, I wanted to bust out my denim skirt to show you just how easily it can be incorporated into your daily wardrobe. The one I have is incredibly flattering and comfortable thanks to a dose of stretch in the denim, and the a-line shape—I sized down one size, as it runs a bit big. It should be noted that if you’re taller than me (I’m 5’4″) or are someone with especially long legs, this skirt might be a bit short for you. You’ve been warned.
In all of the outfits I share here in this post, I have on my Chloe Coin Necklace, silhouette locket (c/o Family Print Shop, 16″ length), and Emma Hoops in Brass Circle. I teamed up with Jess, Conni, and Shawna for today’s styling, and you can click on any of their names to go to their LIKEtoKNOW.it page and shop their looks.
And lastly, a little tip for wearing shorter dresses and skirts—I always wear bike shorts under mine! Since I’m usually with my kids, it adds insurance against a potentially embarrassing situation if I needed to reach down and pick one of them up quickly, haha. Mine are only $8.
Admittedly I don’t own this top yet—I ordered it last week and it arrived in time for this styling session and I just loved the way it paired with the skirt and loafers! The color online is described as “rust,” but it’s definitely more of a deep dusty rose hue. I love it! I think it’s a keeper.
Top / Skirt / Jacket / Mule Loafers
This is a great spring look for warmer days. Any button down would do—just unbutton the bottom button or two and tie in a knot at the waist. I do love this style shirt for warm weather, though—the fit is lovely. I included a jacket option for cooler days—the one linked is a new favorite of mine!
I couldn’t resist a classic stripe. The fit of this wrap top is perfect for pairing with the skirt, as it’s a bit cropped and the tie draws attention to the waist.
Similar bodysuit (also this one) / Skirt / Sweater Blazer / Loafers
I think this is my favorite of all of the looks! If you don’t own a bodysuit yet, I highly recommend getting one—they pair perfectly with skirts! I also love to wear mine for date nights with skinny jeans and a blazer or jacket. Here I added my trusty sweater blazer on top (size down) and brought all of the colors together with my leopard loafers.
Sweater / Skirt / Mule Loafers
This last look is a great example of just swapping out your jeans for a denim skirt as the weather warms up. I did a little front tuck to keep the flattering shape of the skirt and elongate my legs. The sweater fits TTS and is one of my favorites—the color is a really dreamy deep golden yellow. For the mule loafers, I recommend going up 1/2 size.
Do you own a denim skirt yet? Which look was your favorite?

I’m usually a 27 at Madewell and I want to buy this skirt on Poshmark. It’s a size 4. Do you think it will fit?
