I love the idea of a winter white skirt. Practically speaking? Not so much. For one, I can’t keep anything white clean (remember my white pant disaster?). Second, I’m not a fan of tights with a winter white skirt.
This J.Crew No.2 Pencil Skirt in Double-Serge wool is really a fall/winter fabric making it not as versatile as a skirt that is made of ponte or a lighter weight wool. Fall and winter means skirts must be worn with tights more often than not and there is no way around it (at least where I live). I’m on the fence about keeping this, but here are a few outfit ideas that I came up with using pieces I currently have in my closet in trying to decide whether I should either keep or return it.
With chambray:
With color:
Smart Set Turtleneck (Dark Green, size XS)(similar here in cashmere from Bloomies) / Ann Taylor LOFT / Marc Fisher Kevins Boots / J.Crew No.2 Pencil Skirt in Double Serge Wool / Michael Kors Runway Watch / Le Chateau Ring
Like a lady:
LAUREN by Ralph Lauren Amelie Pumps / Botkier Charlotte Clutch(similar here) / Forever21 Bracelet / Banana Republic Horsebit Link Necklace / Banana Republic Factory Sweater / J.Crew No.2 Pencil Skirt in Double Serge Wool
Printed blouse and blazer (bad hair moment):
J.Crew Silk Boy Shirt / Falke Pure Matte Semi Opaque Denier 50 / Calvin Klein Dina Nappa / Olivia Harris / Talula Babiton by Aritzia / J.Crew No.2 Pencil Skirt in Double Serge Wool
Boxy sweater (sorry about the wrinkles, I found it under a pile of clothes):
I’m obviously not having a hard time coming up with outfits. I think I’m just having buyer’s remorse over all the stuff I’ve purchased the last two months, and I still need to buy a suit (or two) for the new job I’m starting in the new year. I’m trying to figure out what, if anything, I can return and not regret later; however, the more outfits ideas I come up with for this skirt, the more I fall in love with it.

Recap:
Do you have any favorite ways to wear a winter white skirt?
you did such a great job styling the white skirt! i can’t decide which is my favorite look; they’re all really nice!
This skirt is a keeper! Just make sure you don’t sit on a park bench or in the bus while you’re wearing it 😉
I love all the outfits, with tights and without. I definitely think this is worth keeping, especially since it’s office-appropriate!
Oh, I love this winter white skirt on you! Every look is fabulous My favorite title is “Like a lady” (LOL), and my favorite look is with the green sweater and tall boots.

I love this skirt on you. The fact that it can be worn 5 ways makes in a keeper in my books. My only reservation would be that it might stain or pick up lint easily. Decisions, decisions…

I have a fear of white too, but you look great in yours! I think you need certain figure to pull it off, which you do! Work it! My fav from your pairings are actually the more casual ones – green turtleneck (love it high waisted with belt and coordinating boots) and last sweater (love the rock n roll feel).
I like the different ways you’ve styled it. Definitely a keeper!
You look great in The white wool skirt – dfinitely a keeper.
It looks like this skirt is definitely a keeper! I didn’t think I’d like it so much with the chambray, but I actually think it’s the best look. Knee high boots are definitely a way of wearing it without adding tights, and I think you actually look super tall when it’s styled that way!
