I’ve shared previously my love for these fun and flirty mini skirts especially during the spring and summer season. My typical go to outfit pairing for this skirt style is a super casual look with tank tops and tees. I wanted to show off a different way to wear these flared skirts for the spring and summer season that slightly dresses them up and may even be a way to transition them into fall.

Since a denim jacket over a tank top works well with these skirts, I decided to try out this bright yellow skirt with my darker chambray skirt. The long sleeve button down blouse dresses up these summer mini skirts a bit making them great for work or date night. It still needed something, so I added in a brown belt placing it about an inch below the top of the skirt. I love how the look turned out letting the skirt peek out on both sides and helping this belted look work without worrying about exact belt placement or needing belt loops. You could also opt for a lighter chambray for a brighter and lighter look.
