I bought this skirt on clearance for $4 a few years ago. Then I forgot about it, and it sat in a drawer until last fall, when I rediscovered it and realized that it's basically the best skirt of all time. Unfortunately, however, I've only worn it twice since then. Does anyone else find lace incredibly hard to style sometimes?

Anyway, one of my life's goals has now become finding more ways to style this skirt. I welcome your advice!

  1. I love the mixtures you have going on here.  I have a similar lace skirt and I usually just wear it with a t-shirt.  Lace can definitely be hard to style.

  2. That skirt is gorgeous and a  great deal for $4! Sometimes I buy things and then it takes me a little while to figure out how to style them.

    I find lace hard to style sometimes too but I love it paired with plaid like you've done here - I don't think I've ever seen it before and it totally works.

  4. I love lace so much! It's such a delicate look; and I love how you've paired it here. You could do it with a plain tshirt white or black with ballet flats, too.

  10. Lace is so hard! I really like the gingham with it.  I think this skirt would be great with some spring pastels, but will also look awesome with tights, boots and a chunky sweater for fall.

  11. I think this skirt would look mega cute with a pale pink blouse and cork wedges for spring :) I'm a new follower of yours and love your style!!!

  13. Yes, lace is incredibly hard to style! It's just so... sweet. You did a great job toughening it up here, though, with the leather boots. Looks great!

  14. what a beautiful skirt, i love it! for 4$? I'm so jealous!
    I'd wear it with a simple with shirt and a black blazer /jeans jacket and a beautitful necklace, or a jeans shirt and a cardigan, with a grey tshirt and a blazer, with a red shirt ... 
    do you need more? I'm waiting for your next outfit with it!

    Love a lace skirt! $4?? You're kidding! I always feel so 9-5 when I wear mine, but I like the way you look nice and kind of casual still.

  26. So so so so pretty! What a beautiful skirt and $4 brand new? Wowza! I love how you kept the outfit funky- it would also be lovely with cream or pale pink top for a flirty look!

  28. Talk about having an eye for fashion, who knew lace will be so "IN" 4 years later ;) Looks great on you!

  29.  oooh I really like that lace skirt! I wouldn't have though about styling it with a button down but it looks amazing. I thrifted  a mint lace skirt and this gives me hope I will be able to style it more than I think. I so dig this look ...and you.

  30. Yes, I think it can be hard to style....but you did it wonderfully!  Another thing you could possibly do is make it a slip of sort for a dress (skirt) that may be a tad too short....just a though!

  31. This is an awesome lace skirt, I love how it's such an unexpected color for lace!  (Lace can be hard to style, I usually revert to my chambray or military shirts, I'm always worried about it looking too 'old.')  I think you styled this skirt perfectly, I really like the casual vibe your shirt and cardi give it and the boots touph up the lace.

  32. I always like to wear my lace skirt with a plain tshirt (usually black) or a silk blouse.
