Lots of pretty, everyday tulle skirts popped up on Pinterest over the weekend. I found the tutu-like skirts to be unexpected, elegant, and subtly theatrical. A multi-layered tulle skirt may not the best choice for a day at the office,* but it could be just right for dinner out or a party. Here in D.C., we still have a few weeks of moderate temperatures that will allow shorter skirts to be a not-completely-crazy wardrobe option, especially when worn with a blazer or denim jacket.
This is actually a two-piece ensemble. The top is a matte silk shell. Heavenly.
The military-inspired olive coat adds nice contrast to the super-feminine blouse and skirt.
Water-colored tulle from Anthropologie.
More cable-knit with creamy tulle, which appears wrapped around the waist, rather than gathered into pleats.
A lacy, more formal version from Anthropologie.
And here's an embroidered, beaded version in black. Great for an evening out or a holiday occasion later in the season. Oh, my.
What are your thoughts? Would you wear a tulle skirt for work or play? What top and accessories would you add to the look to make it work for you?
* Or it may be! And, if it is, then let's talk.
