Skort. Ok, so before you say NO thank you and scroll past, hear me out. I used to LOVE denim skirts. Back in the day when everything was about the low waists, I could get just pull them down around my hips and they’d stay. But now that everything is high-rise, I can’t wear denim skirts because this is what happens: I start walking and with each step it creeps up and I’m one step closer to a full-on booty reveal. I’m constantly pulling it down. Constantly. SO . . . when I saw this skort, I got excited. Because they’re technically shorts, they stay where they’re supposed to and I get the look of a denim skirt with the comfort of shorts (and no accidental peekaboo of undies happening). It’s like the mullet of skirts: business in the front, party in the back.
Wearing:
Choosing Illusion Denim Skort: Available in xxs-4x, I’m wearing a medium so it’s true to size.
Wildflower Knit Top: Wearing size small. I love the drape and it’s perfect for nursing or post partum mamas.
Magicicada Necklace: One reviewer gave it only 2 stars because the chain is a rose-gold color and the charm is gold . . . but I kinda liked the mixed metal look.
The Bolder the Better Ring: I’ve been wearing this almost daily since I got it – and it’s on sale for $10!
Now You Glisten Here Heel: These were not comfortable, unfortunately. I’m wearing a size 8 and they were still too tight (I’m usually a size 7.5 in sandals). You can see I changed into flat sandals in the pics so I’d recommend these sandals (that come in gold or tan).

Yes! Skorts sound so dorky, but I have been wearing a skort all the time this summer, and it’s awesome. No need to worry about exposed undies (like I would with a skirt) when I’m dealing with my preschooler or baby. This is the one I have, and I love it: https://getpreloved.com/products/sunny-skort-in-dark-khaki
I’m even going to wear a fancier skort to my brother’s wedding this summer.
I’m intrigued Allison, what does your fancy skort look like? I kind of want one!

And I also hope I’m not deluding myself that it’s fancy enough for a casual wedding, haha.
Is the Zara skort the pink embroidered? It’s so pretty and I think perfect for a casual wedding.
I’ve been eyeing the Outdoor Voices skort for running and just hanging out. I love it but am uncertain what to pair e a sporty skort.
Thank you! I had actually just ordered two skorts last week, and I haven’t had one in YEARS. But why not…they look like a skirt, just better and more practical.
Wow, never knew you were from the UP! love your posts 🙂
