Hi all,

Fall is finally here and that means some relief from those scorching summer days! However, while we still have warmer days with cooler nights - it can often be difficult to decide what to wear that will bring you from day to night and be ready for the weather.

For today's look, we're talking about a versatile outfit that is ready for both day and night and I will be emphasizing a suede skirt that is a must purchase as we transition into fall.

A Suede Skirt For Fall

Suede is a must for fall. It's a luxe fabric that instantly elevates any look, even if the suede is real or faux. Plus, suede is a fabric that can be worn with anything, so it makes it a win-win for Fall, or Winter or even Spring. That's right, don't be afraid to wear suede during the winter and spring too!

How To Style a Suede Mini Skirt?

So you purchased your suede skirt and are not too sure how to style it?First, a general skirt tip: if you're revealing your legs, you will want to balance the look by avoid showing anything on top - so skip out on crop tops or plunging necklines.

Off to brunch? Pair with a great basic tee, think white or grey (helps keep emphasis on skirt). Then tuck it in and add a pair of strappy sandals, mules, or ankle booties. Finish off with a black leather jacket to help keep you warm.

For Work? You can wear a mini skirt to work but it is essential that you wear with thick stockings - skip out on the sheer. Also, if the skirt is shorter than your arms when you put them against the skirt and legs - that is a general rune of thumb that the skirt is not appropriate for the work place. If it is longer, pair with a classic basic button top and add a blazer and pumps or booties.

Running errands around the city? Pair with a great pair of white sneakers and graphic tee and leather jacket and you're good to go.

For my look, I selected a colorful print. Why did I do this when I just said to select basics? Well, you know I love adding pops of colors to my looks. Feel free to do this as well if you're comfortable mixing the colors! I particularly love this top because it was part of a matching set (stay tuned for another blog post) but can also be styled as a separate in countless ways. And if you know me by now, versatility is the number one thing I think of when I shop. Back to the look though: I paired the skirt and top with a black fringe Chloe from Bag, Borrow, Or Steal and a great pair of booties.

As always, thank you for reading!

xoxo,

Christie
