When I last wore this skirt, it was as it’s intended use – a maxi skirt. Watch out – it’s a dress now! I told you I was going to wear it as a strapless dress! Didn’t believe me, did you?!
cardigan :: Marshall’s
belt :: H&M
necklace :: gifted from MIL
wedges :: Cynthia Vincent for Target
Certain skirts, especially those with elastic waistbands, can be worn as a dress too! I love it when an item has multiple uses (more posts on that to come)! You just hike up the skirt and add a belt and/or necklace! Voila! Since this is a fuller skirt, I chose to belt it.
My parent-in-laws got this necklace for me when they were on a cruise in the Mediterranean somewhere! I love the beautiful color and simple shape. It matches all the fluid colors of this skirt dress so well.
Excuse my puffy eyes! I got a makeover done and didn’t realize that the concealer they used had sunblock in it (and she used it as an eyeshadow base too). Ouch!
I can’t wait to wear this skirt in Fall! Let me know if you have any tricks you’d like to share too!
I love the print on that skirt! It is absolutely gorgeous and great for now and Fall! Just saw your email :D going to respond right now!
Oh my gawsh Sam! I thought it was a dress girl! HAHAHA You fooled me! See! That’s why it pays to READ and not ASSUME! Awesome!!! You have nothing on Hoodini! LOL Again, I couldn’t even tell that it’s a skirt. Beautiful colors and great look! Love the cardigan with it. In fact, you could put different colored cardigans with it. It would totally work. I will have to work on some tricks! HAHA Have an awesome Wednesday girl! ((HUG))

Nice! I love skirts as dresses and dresses as skirts! Must be the bargain hunter in me- two for the price of one :) And I love how you tied that belt- would love to learn how to do that. A tutorial maybe please?
Love this look- I’m a sucker for a good two in one, and this definitely works as a dress :)
I love how you tied your belt. You should put a tutorial on here :)
Great idea! A lot of the time since I’m vertically challenged I use maxi skirts as strapless dresses. Love it!
Hey Sam! I posted much earlier, but must’ve done something wrong. HAHA I didn’t know it was a skirt until I read your post! It truly pays to READ! HAHA It’s truly awesome and I love how you paired the cardigan with it. You can do different color cardigans and it would look great! The colors in it are absolutely beautiful. :)

Hi Bessie! Thank you and so excited about this weekend! **still crossing fingers**
Thank you Kim!! LOL@ Hoodini! That is a great idea about different colored cardigans! I have a fuschia one that would really bring out the colors in the dress! Hope you had a fabulous day!!
Thanks Sonja! It is comfy! :o)
Thank you Patience! (I do love ASOS!)
Thanks Divya! I’ll definitely try to get that set up!! I can do a picture tutorial but I want to try video?! We’ll see how that goes!
Okay Inna! Since you’re the second person asking for a tutorial then it must be done! And I know what you mean about bargain hunter! :o)
Thanks Liv!! I was hoping the elastic band wouldn’t give it away!
Thank you Tabitha! LOL @vertically challenged – me too! And making it a dress definitely adds another “item” in the closet!
Hi Kim! Sorry, some of my comments got stuck in SPAM!! :o(
Thanks Crystal! :o)
[…] The Style Rx: Have an elastic band skirt? Wear it as a top! If it’s a maxi skirt, then you can wear it as a dress {as I did here}! […]
