Brandilyn sent me this skirt a while ago and I just busted it out. (Thanks, B!!!) I've been meaning to wear it underneath a dress or skirt like a slip but I couldn't figure out the perfect belt-shoes combo and I still don't know if I've figured it out! It's like a science, I tell you. And I forgot to study. So I'm thinking of doing a do-over of this outfit.. What belt and shoes would go with this dress-skirt combo??
I'm wearing a thrifted dress ($5), vintage belt ($5), Panache skirt (gift from Brandilyn), JCPenney pumps (free), and vintage bag ($15).

With such a whimsical dress/skirt/slip layering, I like the idea of a brighter colored belt, or a floral-print shoe/tote, or something not quite so "classic." That being said, I love the layered look, so cute!!

Such a cute look!

Beautiful!

Oh love how you wore the new skirt! Its so fun to have it peeking out at the bottom :)

Like the whimsy... and I'm immature enough to have totally giggled over your post title!
That's so cute. It's a great way to add length to a skirt that may be too short. I'll have to invest in one of those.
I love it when skirts peek out under dresses. I think you found the perfect heels for this outfit.
i think your raspberry heels and a bright yellow belt would look amazing!
Lovely as always, Elaine.
Can you believe that I've never actually layered a skirt under a dress? I don't even know if I've layered a dress under a skirt! I'm pretty sure that makes me a bad style blogger.
You look great, though!
I need to start layering dresses and skirts!

I can't believe that dress is thrifted! This makes me want to go to a thrift store right now. And I love the shoes and bag!! I could see this for fall too. Plaid is amazing.
Yes! this is such a cute dress!!! What a great find! I can't believe that it's thifted at all! I think the layered touch brings it together and gives it great personality.
Your dress makes me want to go thrifting! :D
The layered look is totally working with this; love it!
Cute! I think this would look great with color...like your berry heels and your yellow necklace worn as a belt?
I think you should go with a kelly green (or that jade that is so in this fall,) or red. Basically, color.
There are so many options. I would do a skinny yellow belt with some simple neutral colored sandals.
love the shoes with the slip, but i would have gone for a brown belt! i seriously love that dress, too!
Do you have a yellow belt? I think that would look good with this dress/slip.

I love those shoes but are they comfortable? Look like they would be hard to walk in.
your heels are veryglam!!
hello gorgeous! i've been a bad blogger :( oops. anyways, while you look adorable--i would say for a redo i would choose red belt and brown shoes. or vice versa.
Looks great! You smashed it over the fence, Elaine! Personally, I don't like the shoes-buts that's me the 5"8 person who despise people who can wear high heels *GRIN*

Something wide and bright, like yellow or red for the belt. You could then either do matching shoes or stay with those - I think they're my favorites of the ones I've seen you wear so far :-).

Love the plaid dress! I would've went for a red belt and the same pumps. You look lovely.

Looks prim. Love the belt.
I love the outfit! I would have just changed the colour of the belt, brown versus black :)
What a lovely dress on you! I love how the skirt peeks out like that!
Do you have any belts/shoes/bags in orange? Blue and orange are always a happy couple, in my opinion. These shoes already look great with the dress though. Your hair is so pretty when it's down like that :)
i think it looks great! that type of skirt is definitely the way to go; makes it flare out & look fuller. but what do I know about fashion?
You look adorable
it looks fantastic! i love how you have the entire look styled

I think you knocked it out of the park, Elaine! What a great look!!

I think brown shoes, but love the outfit as is.
I like the layered look. Nice.
Thanks for the smile!
I really love the effect the fuller skirt has under the dress! I think the pumps you are wearing are a perfect match with the rest of the outfit! The white/beige color pulls everything together. If you wanted to get really matchy, maybe try a white belt too.
A bright belt would be fun =)
I like the combo. It would also look good with a brown belt instead of black. You could always go primary--red shoes and a yellow belt. That would be a definite statement but you could totally do it!
They are not the most comfortable shoes in the world but I love them :)
You have to do it!!!!!
Thank you!
I think I'll try that next!
Thank you!!
I know, right? It's like the modern petticoat!
No :(:(:(:(
What smile?!? :)
Looks like the majority has spoken: yellow belt it is! But! I don't have a yellow belt :(. Yellow scarf and yellow necklace, yes.
