Denim Mini Moment

A classic denim mini skirt is one of the cutest, most versatile pieces ever invented. It looks adorable on both a 2 year old and a 32 year old. There are so many ways to wear it, and it freshens up the denim bottom concept. Jeans are great but anything worn too often feels stale. A denim mini can be swapped for its pantsed brother almost anytime. On a recent crisp Fall day, I pulled my 15 year old vintage Calvin Klein mini over ribbed tights (the yummy kind, not the annoying kind I loathe), an oversized chunky turtleneck, a roomy boyfriend navy coat, and mini boots. I wore that outfit again two days later, partly because I hadn’t hung it up but mostly because it was super comfy, easy Autumn chic. That skirt was purchased 15 years ago, but it was a vintage skirt from the 80’s. A classic always holds up, and the more faded it gets the better. The color palette of navy, army green, burgundy, and soft brown was a rich yet warm combination that’s perfect for this season. Fall is a wonderful time to welcome and celebrate all things rich and warm, from your sweater to your pumpkin spice whatever. This is a very easy look to recreate. I bet you have all these pieces at home already. The oversized coat works great over the large scale sweater, which in turn looks right over the mini skirt and mini boots. It’s all about balance of scale. Head to toe oversized or too small most likely won’t translate. It’s the mix of the sizes of the pieces that creates the right outcome, as well as the color cousins. Different colors but all in the same family of richness and warmth. This just might be your fave look this season. It’s a nice change from jeans/boots blah.
