30 Days of Skirts
Happy Saturday!
I was cleaning out my closet last month, and noticed that I have a ton of skirts I never put into rotation. And then I counted my skirts and realized I have… well… probably around 40… So I challenged myself to wear skirts for 30 days straight without repeating. Here they all are, in their glory:
There are a few in the mix that I’ll be selling soon enough, some that I’ve clung to for too long that I don’t really know how to style but can’t bear to part with, and… a lot of plaid woolen beauties. I love a good plaid skirt.
Which is your favorite? Would you ever do a challenge like this? (Do you even have this many skirts or dresses? I feel like I’m some sort of hoarder or something. Or, y’know, fashion blogger…)
I hope you are all having a smashing weekend!

Love the idea! Think my favourite is the pastely one!
I’d be able to do 30 dresses, don’t have enough skirts!

It was super fun to do this, especially since there were skirts I hadn’t worn in a while so it felt like I had a few new ones!

I love every single skirt here. Great idea! Definitely something I’ll be added to the list of ‘things-to-do’ with my wardrobe when moving and trying to save money, hehe.

Thank you!
I know, it’s a great way to save money. Plus, I found that it really helped me figure out what I love best and what doesn’t really work for me.

I’m really impressed that you got through this! Good job girl 🙂 I love the new blog design. The header is beyond adorable. Where did you get it?

I think I’m so used to wearing skirts it was really easy; I have a much harder time styling dresses or jeans.
Thank you! My header is actually an idea I painted to use as wedding invitations before my husband and I decided on going full-blown Lord of the Rings. 🙂 I don’t know why I didn’t use it earlier for a blog header; I love it.

That’s such an impressive and gorgeous collection of skirts! I love them all!
Eccentric Owl
Hehe, thank you!

I would love to try a challenge like this. Perhaps with dresses… or even with my skirts! Or cardigans. Anything. I think it’s a really fun idea to get some use out of things you don’t wear as often as you’d like. You did a great job styling your collection of skirts for a whole month!
Eccentric Owl
I think it’s a great challenge for any item of clothing if you have lots of that item! Especially when you tend to only rotate certain items in your closet!
Thanks!

I’ve been think I really don’t wear enough skirts, honestly it’s because I don’t know how :/ but this is a bit of inspiration. Thank you!
Eccentric Owl
I’m glad to be an inspiration! Skirts really are just as easy as jeans once you get used to them!

I have a lot of dresses, but not enough to do 30 days worth! Also, I really love your “I’m a little teapot” pose 😀 My favourite has to be the second to last – I like a shorter skirt, and the bright colours are lovely 🙂
Eccentric Owl
Hahaha, I know! I noticed that when I was going back through all thirty looks: I should probably start changing it up with the pose, huh? 😉

Deciding what to keep and what to toss is definitely hard.

you have the best skirt collection!! i love the polka dot one!
Eccentric Owl
Thank you! I never realized how many skirts I had until I did this; I didn’t even wear them all. I think it’s time to do a closet purge!
Feathers & Freckles
You have such a cute skirt collection! I agree with Two Birds, I think my favorite is the polka dot one 🙂
Eccentric Owl
Thank you! I love that skirt; it’s so comfortable to wear.

Wow, this must have taken ages for you to do but I’m sure it was good fun 🙂 I love all the plaid ones to be honest, love a good plaid skirt myself 😉
Eccentric Owl
I think it took me… 32 days, since I had two days that I skipped for a few reasons, but for the most part I just wore a skirt every day of the month!

this is a really good idea. I have a similar problem with skirts and dresses- although this awful weather is definitely contributing to me never wearing them. I should do this soon though! you have some great skirts!
