Mini Skirt Black Shirt

I had zero clever title ideas but at least there’s a rhyme here? This white denim Marc Jacobs mini skirt is 16 years old at least. It always looks so fresh and of the moment, no matter what moment I’m wearing it in. There have been times it didn’t fit me but I’m glad I kept it. That’s a good lesson in not letting the shots of low self esteem that we all have dictate our impulses. If it makes me feel bad it must be banished!!!

The grommet detailing here is what makes the skirt so cool. I liked pairing it with a black button down; the menswear feel gave some balance to the sexy playfulness of the skirt. The shirt worked because the studs on it keep the thread of hardware consistent. Consistency in fashion is not a given. It’s needed on a case by case basis. But usually there is some underlying something tying in all the pieces. I’m also a fan of balancing out how much skin is revealed. It look silly, especially at 41, to parade around in skimpy pieces top to bottom. This is my personal opinion for myself, and wasn’t written to impose my beliefs on anyone else. I also dig the flare shape of the skirt; it’s fun, forgiving, and flattering. Those three F’s are a great fashion guideline✔️✔️✔️.
