Teacher Style: Colored Pencil Skirt Inspiration

Meet cobalt blue, my favorite color if I could actually choose a favorite color. Now, keep in mind that you can apply the following formulas to any colored skirt! I tried to make sure that every look I created this week could transfer to any wardrobe of any color palette. Today, I do not have any perfectly casual outfits for a Friday, but if I'm going to wear a skirt on Friday, it won't be a pencil skirt. Pencil skirts are for kicking butt and taking names. By Friday, my butt has been kicked and I don't know my own name. If you wear pencil skirts on casual Fridays, please share your ideas in the comments. Teach us your ways ;)

Anyway, the first four looks are previously worn outfits. The last three are newly created. Aren't you lucky?

The Skirt: The Limited Options: Pretty Pleated Ruche Version, Swingy Cobalt Skirt, Swingy, Midi Cobalt Skirt

***************************
Look 1: printed button up neutral belt neutral shoes (A gingham top would look great would just about any color skirt. I could've tried a colored belt-- orange perhaps? I think it'd work great with gray boots in the winter/fall.)

Look 2: plaid shirt lace shirt neutral shoes (Plaid and lace? Yes, please. Look at your plaid shirts differently. Try one with a pencil skirt. It's a little feminine and a little woodsy. If it's not cold outside, wear some booties or heels and nix the tights.)

Look 3: neutral blazer colored top neutral shoes (If you check out look 5, you'll notice that the color scheme is the same, just swapped.)

Look 4: neutral blazer lace top neutral shoes (If it's too warm for a blazer, try a cardigan instead.)

Look 5: colored cardigan printed button up neutral shoes (Again, look 3 uses yellow, blue, and nude as a color scheme just like this outfit does. Allow one outfit to inspire another. It'll make your life easier.)

Look 6: colored cardigan striped top statement necklace neutral shoes (I thought coral was a bit unexpected. I tried not to be super patriotic by wearing red, so I went with coral instead.)

Look 7: neutral cardigan polka dot blouse big belt neutral shoes (Cobalt and black just work together. Everyone knows that. Especially Andi and Brynn.)
