Remix: Navy Blue Button Down Skirt

one | two | three

All of a sudden button down skirts are all the rage - particularly denim ones. I've been wearing button down skirts (both thrifted and bought) for years though. And no, that's not a hipster-y answer, it's the truth and you can see it in these pictures! They go all the way back to 2010! It's kind of weird to see that I've had this Forever 21 navy blue skirt in my wardrobe for over 5 years, but that just means it's a versatile and classic piece. (See, you can find great pieces that last at Forever 21, believe it or not.)

This skirt has been worn in summer and winter, with plenty of color and with neutral palettes. It's a flattering shape and it has elastic on the waist which means I can wear it throughout giant meals and holiday weight fluctuations. It's fantastic! 

I still enjoy a lot of these outfits and would wear them again. I think my all-time favorite is number 8 here. 1, 2 and 3 are favorites too. It has to be a good sign that I still like the majority of my prior outfits right? Which of these looks is your favorite?

four | five | six


seven (yes I realize this one is a regular blue skirt, but it's the same sort of look!) | eight | nine


ten | eleven | twelve

Do you have a button-down skirt yet or would you pick one up now that they're all over the place? Here's a hint: you can find button down skirts everywhere in thrift stores. Most of the time they just need to be hemmed! 

And for fun, how would you style this skirt? Give me some ideas! 

Have a happy happy rest of your week and as always, thanks for stopping by!
