Black and white for summer is a classic, timeless style. I have found myself drawn to black and white together every summer, for as long as I can remember! Although I have another black and white skirt for the summer season, the skirt I have is a pleated, midi skirt. I decided it was OK to also include this black and white skirt in my summer wardrobe since it is above the knee, and the white is more of an off-white, rather than stark white; like my other skirt, which you can see styled here.

I love this skirt because it is above the knee, which is a good length for my height. Although it is short, it is not too short, so I can wear it modestly without worrying about showing too much. This makes it an easy option for church; or to wear more casually throughout the summer. Love that!

In addition to dressing it up, this black and white skirt for summer looks adorable with flats and a tee shirt for a casual, summer lunch or brunch. It also looks pretty with flat sandals and a tee for more casual  excursions during the summer months. I love the versatility of a black and white skirt!

When the weather starts to cool off mid-fall, this skirt will easily transition with a lightweight sweater, and open toe booties. Since the white is more of an off-white, this skirt can easily be worn during any season throughout the year. In the winter, it could be paired with a turtleneck sweater, tights, and knee boots! Love that!

If you are looking for a go-to, easy to wear skirt with longevity, which transcends season, this is it! You can find my new favorite skirt online here.

Thanks for stopping by!

SheIn summer wish list

my picks for summer from Shein

Wish list: my SheIn summer sale picks from left: dress / bomber jacket (so hot and on trend!) / tee / handbag (under $20!) / tunic / anklets (so cool for the beach, and under $10!) / dress

It is that time of year! Although summer has just kicked off, retailers are marking down fabulous, stylish, on trend summer pieces! SheIn has a large selection of extremely affordable, runway-inspired clothing and accessories; and to add some sugar to their already sweet pricing, they are having a huge sale! Almost everything on their website is marked down. Love it!

If you saw my summer kimono outfit post last month, you are already aware that I love their large selection of kimonos. They are so perfect for summer! A kimono can elevate a basic tee, and shorts for summer into an ensemble! I love throwing my kimono over a tank top and shorts, or a tee and jeans. It turns basic pieces into a complete, chic look! Love that!

Here are a few of my favorite kimonos from SheIn’s website, on sale, for summer!

My absolute favorite summer sale pieces are pictured in the collage above. The jacket is already on its’ way to me, and I have a few of the others in my shopping cart. How fabulous is the burgundy tee! It is perfect to wear right now, and well into the fall season. Plus, it is under $10. Love that!

Here are some more of my favorite clothing items from the SheIn summer sale:
