Today's Everyday Fashion: The Aztec Skirt


I am loving the aztec skirt trend, and would happily wear all of the options below, but especially 1, 2 and 5. My aztec skirt is short and tight, so I like to pair it with a looser shirt with sleeves to balance out the bottom half. (You can see it worn with a chambray shirt and flats here.)

  2. I love the colorful and shimmery aztec skirts. The look you've made today is the best I've seen. Love it.

  3. Trendy outfit! I really love the skirt... you are so ridiculously fit, girl! I really like all your picks, but I'd have to say that the Express and first Dilliard's piece would be my favorite.  I think #1 could be such a sophisticated look, especially if paired with a neutral tee and nude wedges.  #4 could be such a fun look!

  4. Number 1 is definitely my favorite. Love the colors and the bit of sheen it has to it!

  5. I love the skirt with the heels. Where would it be appropriate/not appropriate to wear?

  6. like it! i have been trying to incorporate the tribal look into my wardrobe even tho its not typically my style. I work at a women's accessory store and I have a good idea- some stacked bracelets such as corded ones or a beaded cuff would look cute with this too!

    I am a new reader and am so glad I found your site!

  7. I have never thought to pair my (going out?) aztec skirt with a flowy top to wear everyday! As a college girl on a budget, I am always trying to re-style my wardrobe! If you have time, please check out my blog about college lifestyle and fashion.

  8. I like this look a lot. The colors are so intense and the flowy girly top is a great choice to wear with this so on trend aztec skirt. Also, your hair looks really pretty in the picture! :-)
    The only thing I'd probably change is the belt. It might look better without it. Why'd you chose to wear a belt in the first place?

  9. Excellent question Mia! The belt is a result of me copying the inspiration photo. I agree that this outfit would also work without it though. And my hair was professionally blown out because I did a VISIT FLORIDA video the day before, so I agree, it looks pretty. If only I could do it the way they do. :-)

  11. I would only wear this outfit out at night - to dinner or drinks. It's way too short (with heels) for daytime events, and definitely (!!) not for work.

  14. This outfit looks great on you.  The top color is very flattering on you.  I personally is not a fan of the aztec print skirt.

  16. LOL - how to tell I'm out of the loop:  I didn't even know it was a trend ;) altho it makes sense: cousin of tribal (one trend I just don't get)!  I like this skirt on you, what you've done with it, and the colors :)

  18. I just picked up an aztec skirt at Stein Mart for $20 and I bought a blue Jessica Simpson clutch for $25.

  19. The *colors* in this outfit are just soooo pretty and "summery" together!!    I also like how the print of your aztec skirt is a "wider" zig-zag............ i.e., I'm personally not quite as fond of a "tight" zig-zag, (e.g., as in skirts #2, #4, and #6, Above).    Maybe (??) a "wider" zig-zag print, as you're wearing, seems  *c.a.l.m.e.r.*  to me, or something............ than a "tight" zig-zag print!!

    Skirt #5............ i.e., the GB (Gianni Bini) Printed Bodycon Mini Skirt from Dillard's............ is my favorite print, (although the skirt would probably be too short for me!!)............ because of the (stylized) yellow/blue/orange;  and red/white/black horizontal "flowers" of the design!!    (Just to highlight the TOP horizontal band of skirt #5's "flowers," your long, yellow-and-white pendant necklace:

    and your cobalt blue blouse:

    might possibly look nice, too, with skirt #5!!)

  20. (  Addendum:  your long, yellow-and-white pendant necklace, as in your blogpost of 6/30/12:  http://www.jseverydayfashion.com/2012/06/todays-everyday-fashion-bowling.html  )

  23. hey j! i love the aztec print too, i actually already bought that sequined express skirt a few months ago but havent worn it because i'm not sure what to pair with it, any ideas??

    ReplyDelete
  24. MIchelle, I think it would look great with a silky top in a soft color like a light brown, pink, mint or ivory. You could also try wearing it with a chambray shirt like I show in my other outfit (that I link to in this post). Good luck!
