The next few posts will be on how I style different coloured skort's ranging from cool tone, warm tone, to mixed toned. Today's post is the 1st of 3 - The Cool tone Skort.
Firstly to start things off - I got a bit excited as I haven't blogged in almost 4 months (forgive me, blame the weather). Here's a *click click snap* of my excitement for this entry!
My apologies in advance for the super dim photos and boring scenery. I did initially want to take photos outside - I had just bought a new camera and it took me a few minutes... to an hour.. to learn how to use it properly (hand gestures activates self timer which makes things ALOT easier!).
Anywho by the time I actually got the gestures working, the sun had already set. THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
There is nothing that scream more "cool" then a deep cool-toned blue to steal the show. This royal blue skort is a mid rise skirt/short however I'd much prefer it to sit high rise as the asymmetrical points already help elongate the stems, it could do a little more if it shaped the waist. Whatever. work with it. I threw on a baggy white boyfriend tee to tone down the femininity and make it more of a sporty chic kinda tom boy look. Rule of thumb (Anita's thumb anyway): If one must be tight, the other must be baggy. The contrast fit of the loose white shirt with the dark structured skort really gives that edgy, effortless, "I just chucked on whatever I could find.. and still look fab!" vibe.
Here we have the whole outfit. As the outfit is a bit plain, gotta accessories and add some depth with the hair and the shoes. (And the contouring!)
The simplicity of this outfit not only looks CHIC and Trendy, but if an unplanned turn of events involves you having to giddy up (you will be able to run like a man and not worry about revealing your knick knocks to the world.)
Security of a pair of shorts, femininity of a unique looking skirt. 2 in 1.
The shoes I wore to complete the look are a set of black cut out boots from Urge. The tough look of the cut out boots detailed with the silver hardware really brings together this edgy theme for this cool toned skort. A bit of heel just adds a touch of sophistication to the look, comfort to the sole and elongation to the stems! Presto good to go!
