SKIRTS + Winter = Style MAGIC

Skirts + winter = a total style moment (yes, even when it’s freezing!). It’s all about layering smart and styling with intention. Think cozy knits, tights & leg warmers, knee-high boots, and a great coat to balance the look. Whether it’s a wool midi with an asymmetrical hem or a pleated maxi that moves with you, skirts in winter are not impractical! Skirts are the unexpected winter go-to, breaking up the style routine (or rut!) and bringing a fresh take to your cold-weather looks. And because I love a good find, you know I rounded up some fab designer secondhand skirts—starting at $54 :)))

Check out my latest YouTube video here on how I refresh my winter outerwear with fun skirts along with four other easy ways.

Happy secondhand scrolling!
