I always love those magazine features where one piece is worn several different ways. As part of their 12 Days of Giveaways, Shade Clothing sent us the Shirred Floral Skirt to review for a giveaway and we happily explored a variety of ways that this skirt can be worn!
Paired with this lemon hued collared shirt, this Shade skirt has a professional feel with a fun flair.
They call me mellow yellow
Shirt: RW&Co. Shoes: Walmart. Watch: Timex.
Paired with this delicate dusty rose V-neck 3/4 sleeve shirt, the ensemble takes on a decidedly feminine feel.
- Pretty in pink.
Shirt: SmartSet. Shoes: PayLess Shoes.
Paired with a brown V-neck shirt and knee-high boots, you get a more sporty feel.
Sorry... I'm out of clever color comments.
Shirt: Jacob. Shoes: Claire. Necklace: Family Heirloom.
And if it’s cold outside, don a brown bomber jacket.
Jacket: Target.
Recommendations for wearing the Shirred Floral Skirt from Shade Clothing:
- Tuck your shirt in and play up the waist.
- Pull out colors from the pattern and match other pieces and accessories in your ensemble. You’ll notice we pulled yellow, brown and a dusty rose color from the pattern in our pieces.
- This piece is great if you have a short waist.
- This piece is great if you have fuller hips and thighs — the skirt conceals a multitude of sins, my dears.
- This piece is great if you have fab legs you want to show off. Work it, girl.

I like the look with the brown top and knee high boots
I'm hoping to make someone else's Christmas more memorable this year by donating more to charity.
I love the mellow yellow- simple and sophisticated and perfectly feminine. Easy to wear and timeless. My kind of look!

Tomorrow I am taking the kids into New York to meet daddy and to visit Santa at Macy's, stare into the gorgeous window displays, and hop on over to Rockefeller to check out the tree!!
I like the Mellow Yellow look best because I could wear it to work and church and on a date.
Love the style with the bomber jacket because it's flirty and fun!

To make this Christmas memorable we'll be writing all the church missionaries from our neighborhood and sending them some holiday cheer!
I like the Pretty in Pink look, since pink is my signature color!
Also – this Christmas should be memorable, because we are moving to a new city!!
I like the brown outfit – the brown boots and top, then the bomber jacket! I think it makes the skirt really pop!
To make this Christmas Memorable – I'm finally, for the first time ever, attending a tacky Christmas sweater party!!!
LOVE all of the looks–hard to choose. I do love the feminine (pretty in pink) look though. It fits my personality.
I am a facebook fan of both!

Love it with pink!! It's feminine and flirty!
Husband and I don't have any Xmas decorations so we wanted to change it this year! We made a "Xmas tree" out of wrapping paper and taped it on our wall! Our rpesents are "lying" under it right now
I LOVE the pretty in pink look! It's so classy and sophisticated but stylish and sexy at the same time.
