Midi, Maxi, Or Mini Skirts & Dresses with Ageless Style
It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month I picked styling mini, mini, or maxi skirts & dresses which is an admittedly odd choice for someone that hardly ever wears skirts or dresses... and usually not in fall at all. But I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone just a bit.
I typically only wear above the knee (mini) or maxi skirts and dress. I honestly don't think I own anything midi length. For fall I tend to pair dresses with boots or booties and often a scarf and leggings too.
All of the above photos were taken from my archives but I did put together a brand new look for today's challenge. I had this maxi jean skirt I bought years ago and still had the tags on it! I decided to pair that with one of my favorite cozy sweaters and a pair of boots.
I added a long necklace and some chunky earrings to finish off the outfit. Now let's see what all my co-hosts came up with.

Linking up with: Thinking Out Loud,
All of these outfits are so cute! I love the first plaid shift dress and the denim dress with the embriordery!

Aw, thank you so much!
DeletePretty pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe plaid dress gets me excited for Christmas! I love a plaid with red and green!
ReplyDeleteI love a good plaid in winter too.
DeleteLove all these looks! The denim maxi and sweater combo is so perfect for fall.

Thank you!
DeleteI really like your new denim skirt and how you styled it. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is rather stiff and thick denim though so I'm hopeful a wash or two will soften it up.
DeleteThat is funny that you picked this challenge and you don't wear skirts/dresses much in the fall. So many cute looks. I have never considered longer lengths like your wearing "mini", I consider those "midi" since they fall between a mini skirt length and a maxi skirt length...they're in the middle. But I googled it and you are right, so now my post is all wrong ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI rarely wear dresses and skirts ever! BUT weirdly I do seem to buy them frequently. I don't think what we call it is nearly that important... but I guess you learn something new each day!
DeleteI feel like I have been on the hunt for the perfect jean skirt for years. I really love skirts and dresses! All of these looks are so cute, especially the plaid one. (:
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteLoved this prompt and way to step out of your comfort zone!!! I get it though, if I didn't work I don't think i'd own or reach for nearly as many 'dressy' outfit options as I wear. I'd likely be found in my workout gear or sweat pant suits 80% of the time. LOL.

I like the dressy options and have so many in my closet.. but often feel like I have no place to wear them. To wear them just at home I almost always end up changing so we can head out hiking somewhere. I tend to mostly live in jeans and sweaters all fall.
DeleteIt is always funny to me when someone still has something with the tags on! I do try to wear my new items within a week or two. I was just thinking, I have a skirt that I haven't worn but a handful of times since I bought it and need to pull it out for next week!

I try to but I had bought that skirt for an earlier Ageless Style challenge and really didn't like it no matter what I did with it so I decided to set it aside and try again later. I figured it was now or never and if I don't wear it again soon it will go into the donate pile.
DeleteI love all the outfits. That first dress is so pretty and perfect for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love how you pushed yourself for your own challenge!!
ReplyDeleteXoxo

Aw, thanks!
DeleteI love the outfits as well and you look wonderful, Joanne. The vintage vibe really appeals to me.

All of your outfits look very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThese all look great on you. My favorite is the blue knee lengths(-ish) with the pretty white details at the bottom of dress and sleeves. The navy maxi dress looks so fabulous too, but navy is also my favorite color at the moment :)
ReplyDeleteI too don't wear dresses often but surprisingly found 2 midis this summer that I enjoyed wearing. A lengths I thought didn't work for me (petite) but I figured out it was more about the style than the lengths. In fall and winter if I wear dresses then only to special events (which are so rarely!!) and not in daily life. I loo love my jeans and sweaters.
I love dresses with boots. I think it looks "so fall" but I don't have boots. Well, maybe one pair. I am going boot shopping this weekend:)
ReplyDeleteAll the outfits look great! I agree I don't have many midi dresses. Although I am 5'3 so sometimes midi dresses are like maxi dresses on me.
