Do you ever buy something you know you shouldn’t because it’s not only expensive, but also totally impractical? Welcome to the story of my life. I always justify it by saying that I’m going to start dressing up more, I’ll keep it forever, or whatever other excuses pop into my head as I’m standing at the register.
Last year I bought an amazing beaded All Saints skirt and love it so much I could wear it everyday (see.. more justification) but I never know what to wear with it. It has so much going on that I usually just wear a solid top but how boring is that? So today I’m taking a risk.. mostly for the sake of my wallet so I can get as much wear out of this skirt as I can. And at the end of the day, it’s just fashion so why NOT have some fun once in a while?
What do you all think? What would you wear with this skirt?
I absolutely love this look!! I totally know what you mean! I wish there were more opportunities to dress up or wear fun fashion-forward outfits in real life. I say just wear what you love and it’ll translate! Love your style! So so pretty. That skirt is totally worth it! 🙂

Hi Emily, greetings from Boston. I think you have great fashion sense but I don’t think that tshirt goes with that skirt no offense it’s something about the trademark on the shirt and the glittery skirt clashing and just not meshing well. I think either a sleek black blouse or tank top would look great with it along with jewelry. Hayley:)
Brianna says
I adore this outfit!
You could also pair this skirt with a chambray top and layered jewelry (of course) for a stylish transition into fall!
Gorgeous!! I absolutely love that skirt and how you paired everything together. I am the same way, I always get drawn to pieces that are so impractical but I end up buying them anyways, because I know I will find something to go with it! 🙂

I love this look!! I have a similar skirt, and never know what do do with it! You’ve inspired me to try something new and fun! Thanks!!
Whitney says
This post is so timely! I have black sequin skirt that I never know what to wear with. I always think it has to be a dressy outfit! I can totally rock a graphic tank with it as you have here. Love your style! xoxo 🙂
Hannah says
I love your combo and I’m always a fan of grungy graphic tees paired with glitzy, girly pieces. I would totally wear it like this or pair with a plain classic tee shirt, maybe in a warm neutral for a classy monochrome look.
Valerie says
Love this;) and reading your blog.
Cassie says
LOVE this look! You can never have too much sparkle in your closet (or in your life!) You look fab! xo
Cheryl says
You look beautiful, but where one would actually wear an outfit like this? Do you run errands in it? If I wore this where I live I’d get arrested.
emily maynard says
Thanks! And no, I wouldn’t wear this to run errands! I’d maybe wear it out to a nice dinner with my girlfriends or a fun concert.
Deserea says
I love this skirt!!!! I know it’s a long shot but what is the brand so I can try to find it to buy? Thanks for sharing this gorgeous outfit!!!:)
emily maynard says
Thanks! It’s from All Saints.
Stephanie says
LOVE this outfit! Love the contrast of the fancy skirt and the casual tank! Adorable!
Amanda says
There’s no way that skirt cost more than those $1,200 shoes.
Lauren says
Where is the clutch from? Super cute outfit!!
Joseph says

Jenny says
Emily, I love your blog, do you sale gift cards? I love your Gorgeous things for sale!!!!
You look gorgeous! I always say that anything looks great tucked into a cute pencil skirt, even if it’s a dressy skirt. Sometimes casual and dressy are the best looks!

Abgail says
Love it! You totally pulled off this look amazingly! You look gorgeous, girl!
I saw your post about FashionABLE and that’s so amazing you had the chance to visit Ethiopia. That’s my heart. I hope to one day adopt from there! God is so good to show your heart some beautiful things!
I’m also an Ambassador for Noonday Collection, which you would so rock as well!

Hi Emily. You look beautiful in anything - it doesn’t really matter what you wear. You are very lucky to have a beautiful face and figure so you can wear anything really! What is the lipstick or lip gloss you are wearing? Also, do you still use the ‘Sultra Bombshell’ to curl your hair? Thanks.
Lea Anne says
Love this look! Think it would also be more fun to make it more sophisticated with a polka dot button up/chambray top and some pointed toe pumps!
Vangela Clark says
Super cute Em! I noticed the link to the Victoria Secret cami was actually the Forever 21 shirt.. can you redo that one so I can see please ? 🙂 Thanks!
Awesome outfit, I love it!
Joseph says
By replacing “it” with “breaking” in my last comment, the comment makes intended sense. (Some habits are hard to break, and good habits aren’t worth it - like I Love You.)
Listening to Christian music (as usual) on the way home from shopping tonight and a deer was walking in the middle of the street - in the crosswalk. Inspirational.
Look forward to your posts this week:) Love you. The earlier love you counted for a different time.
Coty and Mariah says
Love the look! Oh, and that nail color 🙂
Tina Jones says
I love it! I have a skirt very similar that I have paired with 3 quarter length roll up sleeve white button up shirt that ties at the waist. i wear chunky jewelry and gold wedges. Keeps it very casual but the skirt is definitely a statement piece!
