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!

    i´ve seen this yellow skirt a lot on you. i like it if you wear black fashion to it - like you do on your first pics above.

    "Do you have any checkered items?"
    no

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

    "Would you wear a yellow checkered skirt?"
    maybe - i must try it for a big mirror...

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 two main timelines, one set in moder

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

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

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever
