3 Ways To Style a Yellow Checkered Skirt: Outfit Proposals

This yellow checkered skirt used to belong to my mother. Obviously, that makes it a vintage item and one to cherish. I had originally considered making an outfit proposal post with my old outfits, but then I realized that I have actually worn this yellow skirt at least three times this March. So, instead of sharing old outfits, I'm going to share new ones. Here are the three ways in which I wore this yellow skirt. If you have a similar item in your closet, let me know how you like to style it. Do you have any checkered items? Do you have any checkered items in yellow? Would you wear a yellow checkered skirt?




1. Wear it with a black leather jacket and biker boots


If you want to go easy with the colour, why not opt for black clothing items to go along your yellow skirt. You know what they say, black is always a good idea. Black and yellow colour combos have been popular lately, and I have actually illustrated 3 runaways looks in this colour sheme (you can see them here and here ). Long story short, a lot of brands (Versaci, Louis Vuitton etc.) have turned to the yellow checkered trend. Pairing yellow with black is quite popular too, so taking that black leather jacket out of your closet seems like a good choice. If you want to make your outfit more casual and dressed down, opt for biker boots. Not only are they comfortable to wear, they also allow you to get that rocker chic vibe on.

2. Layer a long cardi under the leather jacket to make it more subtle in appearance

If you are not comfortable wearing such a bold print, you can always layer a coat or a long cardi over it. For example, to create a 'peek a boo' effect all you need is a long asymmetrically cut cardigan or a kimono. This way you can feel more comfortable wearing such a bold print. Bonus points for layering and keeping warm.

3. Pair it with a checkered jacket for a complete checkered look

 I wore almost exactly the same outfit a few years ago and it is a look I'm only glad to repeat. I'm a big fan of green (as you know) and there is something very powerful about the combination of yellow and green. Mixing prints with prints is always fun, right? This outfit is also suitable for those spring days that still feel like winter, you know the kind of chilly days some of us have had plenty of lately.

    That is such a versatile skirt, and these are great outfits with it! I don't have any prints like this in my wardrobe, although I have a lot of stripes, haha!

    I think I like the second outfit just a little more - you layer so well.

    Hope you are having a good week so far! After being so busy last week, I'm enjoying a relatively quieter week and looking forward to the Easter long weekend.

    Above all else, I love your suggestion of pairing a yellow check skirt with a leather jacket and biker boots - such a brilliant, fierce combination! The outcome is such a stylish outfit and one that's totally transitional for this time of year. Looking so great Ivana, have a wonderful weekend ahead! :)

    Heyyyy you are back with outfit posts, yay! I just adore that black and yellow outfit as it's so edgy and fun. As for the green and yellow combo that you mentioned is powerful - perhaps they are also colors Mother Nature is wearing herself? Heheh. I love the scenery there and I thank you for sharing a peek of it. Would love to see more of your Spring outfits and other projects :) Have a happy day beauty <3

    Io trovo che la tua gonna sia molto di moda; quest'anno va tantissimo il quadrettato anche per la bella stagione ed il giallo è una scelta davvero moderna, nonostante sia un capo vintage!
    Mi piace soprattutto abbinata alla giacca di pelle nera, trovo che quello sia il look che la mette più in risalto! :)
    Baci!

    Your yellow checkered skirt looks pretty styled with the black tights. My favourite out of the three outfits is the third one featuring the green checkered jacket over the white top. The outfit photos you took by the river that overflowed its banks are great.

    Dearest Ivana,
    All three outfits are great in their own special way! I love the versatility of your skirt! Thanks for linking to my action ANL! Here is once again the link to ANL: http://rostrose.blogspot.co.at/2018/03/anl-27-tomorrow-haben-wir-eine-zukunft.html
    Why? Because Your post today also fits well with ANL, because there is the additional challenge "1 part - 3 looks" - and that's exactly what you created: 3 wonderful and very different looks from a skirt!
    Hugs from Austria,

    Dear Ivana,
    I had missed this beautiful post. I have been loving your outfit posts. This yellow checked skirt is so beautiful. You have styled it in a brilliant way. I really love your suggestion of wearing it with black biker jacket and boots. Personally my favorite it the third one. The combination of the outfit and the location both are wonderful. Waiting for more outfit posts. 😘. Have a happy Monday 😘.

    Ivana, you look terrific! :D

    Actually I remember that you left a comment on my trend report where you highlighted this trend on the Versace collection, it is the greatest pattern don't you think? The best thing about the checked pattern design is that it will always be on style despite the season of the year and we can use it on summer or in fall or in any kind of weather :) Love all the options but the first one is definitely my favorite!

    no

    "Do you have any checkered items in yellow?"
    no

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

Image
 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o...
