When you are shopping it is important to look at an item and see how many outfits you can make with it. It’s a little challenge I pose to myself when I am shopping. I decided to take this ModCloth skirt and style it three different ways.
When I am spending over $50 on an item I like to be sure that I am going to wear it more than a few times. It’s always easier when you buy a complete outfit but for this I wanted to utilize things I already own. I decided to make three categories, a complete outfit I purchased from ModCloth, a top I purchased this season and then a piece I found in the back of my closet.

Complete Outfit.
I bought this outfit together from Modcloth (Skirt // Top). I love the nod to the seventies. It felt very retro and back to school fun. I paired it with the polka dot platforms because I love mixing pattern and added the hat for a little added style.
This Season Purchase.
Even though I purchased this skirt with the belt I wanted to try it with a top that covered the belt. I purchased this top earlier in the year from Target. It’s sold out but I did find a few tops that will fit the look like this and this and this.
Back of My Closet Item.
This tee is from at least three years ago. I love it and I hope it never falls apart. It’s something that will easily go with a lot of bottoms in my closet and I love that it isn’t see through. I found a few different options that would work like this and this and this.
**Remember you aren’t always trying to replicate the exact outfit I am wearing. Sometimes it is just a jumping off point for you to think of what you already own.
One More Thing…
ModCloth A-line skirts are an essential piece to a wardrobe. They are well made, hold their shape and color and they never go out of style. I don’t say that about many things because I believe everything has a shelf life but A-line skirts have always found a place in each and every decade of fashion. Although I purge my closet pretty regularly my ModCloth skirts are not something I part with. They are really that good. Check out this post too….
