Denim skirts are back ya’ll and back with a vengeance!  The last time I owned a denim skirt was about 10 years ago.  I found denim skirts had faded in popularity and trendiness, so I donated mine.  Fast forward and denim skirts are cool again.  Personally, I could not be more excited about it. I love wearing skirts!  I wear a skirt to work 2-3 times a week.  On weekends, casual skirts are a great alternative to shorts!  I find my denim skirt to be so much more comfortable than shorts some days too.

I wanted to share my main tip on how to style a denim skirt this summer, so you can pull off this trendy item.  My main tip is actually pretty simple and easy – wear it with the same tops you would pair with jean shorts.  Yep, I treat my denim skirt the exact same way I do my shorts from my tops to my shoes.  Fitted tank tops are my top pairing of choice.  You can tuck it in and and on a wedge sandal or flat for a casual day look.  You can also add on a white denim jacket for a more polished look or a flowy kimono for a boho look.   Your top doesn’t have to be fitted.  A few months ago, I paired this skirt with a flowy crop top for a rodeo look.

I purchased this skirt earlier this year, so I linked one that is the same style and brand just a slightly different color.  So, how do you plan to wear your denim skirts this summer?

Blush pink and gray ranks high on my list of perfect Spring color combos.  The two colors compliment each other so well.  This blush pink top would look gorgeous with white or blue jeans, but I love the contrast with the gray.

The feminine touches on this top make it so gorgeous and stand out.  I love the big 3/4 length sleeve to help create effortless movement.  The stripe illusion design on the sleeve is just another beautiful detail on this top to help it stand out a bit from the rest of the blush pink pack.

I kept the rest of my outfit pretty neutral with these cute white earrings and a rose gold necklace.  I like that they compliment the top and do not overly distract from it.  The top is semi-sheer, and a camisole is needed underneath it.

I hope you guys have a fun weekend ahead! Today is Go Texan Day in Houston, so lots of cowboys boots, denim, and horses on the freeways.  It’s the kickoff day to our rodeo which lasts for the next few weeks.  I’ve talked about it in past posts with outfit inspiration here. It’s always a fun time in Houston.

Thanks for stopping by you guys! I always appreciate the visit and your sweet comments!!
