I thought that I would write a post today about how to adapt a skirt from casual to formal. I have owned this navy bias cut midi skirt for quite a few years. It was originally from HopeFashionuk. They do still have a similar one available in Fuschia pink. I brought it with me to France so that I could try it out with some of the items that I keep in my wardrobe here.
How to adapt a skirt from casual to formal:
Here I have adapted my skirt from casual to formal. dressed it up with my navy Armani Collezioni jacket. I have had this jacket since the mid-nineties so I suppose that it is now classified as vintage. If you are interested in similar jackets I did find a few on Etsy.
For a very casual look I have teamed my skirt with a classic white shirt worn over a simple white tee. I have left the shirt open and rolled the cuffs up to reinforce the casual vibe. I have added a pair of silver ballet flats. They are the only shoes I keep here in France as I mostly live in trainers. You could equally wear a pair of simple trainers/sneakers.
Above I have knotted the white shirt to give it a different twist.
You can see how I teamed this same skirt with my leather jacket here and with a cream top here.
Very elegant. When will the lovely scarves be back in stock in the shop?

I will try to go to St.Tropez market again . The prices have gone up a bit so has postage so I will have to cost them up carefully.
Beautiful variations on the navy midi skirt, Josephine. You are so right that if you buy good things you can keep wearing and wearing them. I am wondering if you will continue visiting Grimaud through the fall and winter. Loved these pictures, thank you so much for sharing.
Timeless skirt. Timeless jacket. Both exquisite and very flattering. Love all the looks. I adore navy.
Hello Josephine, I always enjoy reading your blog. I was wondering if you have any favourite lingerie brands that you could recommend? No modelling necessary! Thank you, Maria
Beautiful outfits! I adore the white blouse tied in front. Very nice post
