What to Pair with a Picnic Skirt

orange gingham

I adore this skirt but it's a little difficult for me to find things to pair with it - I almost always wear it with blue. I think I may try green or grey next, but it's difficult to veer away from a color pairing that just seems to work (and this top - I think I've worn this skirt a handful of times already and almost every time with this top). If any of your stylish ladies out there have suggestions, I've love to hear them - thanks!

Wear it Together

Though I do appreciate it when retailers assemble together outfits of their wares so people can consider ways to wear their pieces together, I rarely ever remember any of them to be able to replicate the cute ensembles (I'm so much better gaining inspiration from other stylish women off Instagram or their blogs where I can easily pull their looks up on my phone when I need the help). This cardigan/blouse combination from Anthropologie however, stuck out in my mind and I had to replicate the outfit when I saw the cardigan hit super-sale.

Accessorizing Basics

It's just a basic white tee and a comfy loose pair of cropped pants, but with some snazzy accessories to jazz things up, I'm suddenly fashionable, still comfortable, and ready to face the world. Once I'm home, a quick change of shoes and losing the necklace means I am ready to lounge it out with the best of them.
