Sometimes it seems like remixing your clothes can get complicated. How do I know which colors I can wear this with? What if I can’t tuck, knot, or belt my clothes because of my body shape? How many things can I layer this piece with? How do I know what kinds of accessories go with this? All that is fun to play with, but having a versatile closet and mixing up a piece can also be very simple. Today I’m showing a simple change up with a striped ponte pencil skirt worn casually and for work.
I kept the changes simple to show that mixing up a piece doesn’t have to be complicated. I paired it with a black tee and other neutral pieces for a casual look. For an office look I simply switched the tee for a black button up and added some black pumps and a wine colored bag. A black button up for a black tee is not revolutionary by any means, but it works! And really, that’s what you need your clothes to do for you–just work.
