What I Wore This Week #6: Mini skirts, wide leg pants and double denim

Hate the micro short, love the mini skirt.

You’ll definitely notice some themes this week and get a peek into where my head was at — 3 different mini skirt outfits, 2 double denim looks and 3 outfits with wide leg jeans. The mini skirt isn’t something I expected to love, but after I wore the brown mini dress in Mexico, I feel like I was kind of primed to try it out this season. Then I rediscovered my denim mini skirt, and shortly after that my friends at Noble sent me their new wrap mini skort (styled below) and before I knew it, I went all-in on the mini.

Are my veins and cellulite out on display? Of course they are — I am 37 after all! But you know what? They also show when I wear shorts and I got over that years ago so the mini skirt really isn't any different. When it comes to fashion, I believe in wearing what you want and what feels like YOU — and I think all of the looks below very much fall into that way of thinking.

Here are all of those aforementioned looks I wore this past week…¹

TUESDAY: This outfit really made me happy and checked off all of my boxes — effortless, elevated and cool. I am really loving the comeback of the mini skirt!

Mini skort (NATALIEBORTON10) / similar heels (same brand — 15BORTON for first order) / sunglasses

Chunky hoops / similar shacket (mine was a limited Freda Salvador x Born to Roam collaboration) / bag (15BORTON for first order) / bangles

WEDNESDAY: After thinking about this blazer for years, I finally bought one this year and I can’t believe I waited so long. It’s sustainably made from vintage mens’ suits and each one is unique. I love it so much!

Blazer (each one is unique!!) / crop top is old from Apiece Apart

Belt / jeans / bag / sunglasses

THURSDAY: Mini skirt strikes again! This time I grabbed my old Madewell mini skirt that was hiding in a drawer I was cleaning out recently — a great example of a time when I’m glad I didn’t edit my closet too vigorously, haha. I decided to go double denim with black accessories and woven textures.

Sunglasses / shirt / similar skirt / checkered bag & strap / basket tote / sandals

Chunky hoops / rope necklace / coin necklace

FRIDAY: This outfit sealed the deal on a new outfit formula I unlocked for myself — shacket & mini! A perfect mix of casual & elevated, and so comfortable.

Sunglasses / shacket / tank (BORTONVIP15)

Skort (NATALIEBORTON10) / similar heels (same brand — 15BORTON for first order)

Basket tote / ring

SATURDAY: Admittedly I spent most of the day in my pajamas! But when it finally came time to change for a birthday party at the beach, I decided double denim was the perfect plan and it proved to be true. The patchwork jacket is a Freda Salvador x Born to Roam Vintage collaboration and only available in the store (you could call to see if they have more!).

Jeans / chunky hoops / tote / tank / sandals

SUNDAY: Completely forgot to take a photo of this one, so here’s this selfie with part of the outfit shown will have to do for now. I also wore this bag with this tortoise strap and these sunglasses. Oh, and this ring, too!

Jacket / jeans / hoops / sandals / cream tank is coming soon!

MONDAY: I stuck to the basics with a tank, blazer and wide leg jeans. I usually go for my racerback tank, but decided to change things up and wear the scoop neck one. The back has a slightly lower scoop that is really lovely.

Scoop tank / belt / jeans / similar heels (same brand — 15BORTON for first order)

Sunglasses / earrings / ring / bag (15BORTON for first order) / similar blazer (same brand)

Until next time!
