Last week I stumbled upon a denim skirt that I had kept away in my wear-again-someday closet and it actually made me happy to rediscover it! I had completely forgotten about its existence and it actually gave me the same feeling that shopping for a new item usually does. Recycling our own wardrobe is the new retail therapy at the moment and conscious buying is the need of the hour. This got me thinking, could I possibly wear this one skirt all week and style it differently each day? The answer is – absolutely!
Please note, usually, I am a minimalist at heart, however, I thought it might be interesting to see how versatile this one piece of apparel could be. So, here they are, 5 looks I cannot wait to try out!
