Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women of all ages. Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme. This month's theme is "Brights with Whites" and was chosen by Mirelle.
I love wearing white in summer so I was thrilled with this month's theme, because one of my favorite ways to wear white is to pair it with brights. White actually goes with anything, but I especially love it with bright, hot colors in the summer.
For this challenge, I chose a shirt with just a little bit of white in it so it would blend with the skirt more. I've shown this top to you last year in THIS POST where I teamed it with a blue chambray skirt. This time I'm pairing it with my white jersey knit skirt from Blair. I've never bought anything from this company before, but I was looking for a new white skirt because my old one got a stain on it. So I googled "white skirts" and this one popped up on my feed for around $3.00 (sorry, not that low price anymore but it's still a great deal at $12.49). How could I resist that price? 😀 I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived because it was nice and thick so it wasn't see-thru (a huge problem with most white skirts/pants) and it had built-in shorts inside! That's a great plus when chasing grandkids!
This shirt has such bright, neon colors in it. I could tell when I purchased it that the sales clerk thought I was cuckoo for buying this shirt, but I knew exactly how great it was gonna look with other items in my closet, and I was right! 😀 It actually has 3/4 sleeves elastic sleeve which I push up above my elbow. I love the lower neckline and the longer length of the top so I can tie it in a knot. The fabric is very lightweight so it's cool and comfy.
I paired my outfit with white jewelry. My necklace is broken pieces of white sea shells, and I wore white hoop earrings.
For footwear, I chose a teal blue pair of old sneakers for comfort. There is teal in the shirt, so the shoes paired perfectly.
This was a super cool and comfy outfit for running errands and to wear to church. I love outfits like this which are dressy, yet comfy at the same time.
And now be sure and link up your outfits with us below and check out how the other ladies in the group are pairing their whites with brights.
Have A Great Day! Amy

Thanks Jill!
DeleteThat is a very cute and comfy looking outfit. What a great find on that skirt!!
ReplyDeleteCute and comfy is my style...ha ha! Yep, I like great deals, that's why next month's challenge will definitely be a challenge for me.
DeleteLOVE! LOVE! LOVE this look on you. The first thing that caught my eye is that you knotted your shirt and it looks soooooo good with this outfit. It's the perfect summer combination and how awesome is that price point for a skirt! Unreal.

Thanks Bo. I love shirts that I can knot, it's works better for me than the half tuck.
DeleteYou've styled this outfit perfectly! The colors are vibrant and the white skirt is the perfect complement. You look fabulous!

DeleteWhat a perfect summer look. I love that the bright colors in the top also feature that cool minty green. Just beautiful. And that white skort. Great length and sounds like great fabric, too. I have ordered from Blair in the past. Missed this skort but going to look for it now.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love the minty green amidst all the bright colors too.
DeleteI looooove the super cute teal boat shoes with this look- a perfect punctuation for the outfit!

Thank you. Being comfortable is as important to me as being stylish, especially with my feet. Nothing beats a cute pair of sneakers.
DeleteAmy, that was a great deal on that skirt! I just love the shirt that you paired with it. And can we talk about how cute those shoes are—so cute! I just love the entire outfit! Thank you for sharing with us at The Crazy Little Lovebirds link party #47.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Stephanie. Everyone sure seemed to love the sneakers.
DeleteYes agreed, white is the color for summer. These white shorts are great so versatile and looks excellent with this fun floral top. And love your home and garden too.

DeleteWow, looks so good on you. I love whites.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love white, nice and crispy looking however, it don't care for me. I tend to wear whatever I get near or I eat when I wear white. haha
ReplyDeleteI hear that often about wearing white, but any color can still stain. I don't think I own a single t-shirt without an oil stain on it. ha ha.
DeleteI love this pretty printed top with white! So perfect for summer.
