How to Update Your Skirts and Dresses

I’ve been having issues with dresses and skirts recently. I feel like I look too cutesy, like I’m a little girl or I’m wearing a costume à la Little Bo Peep or a milk maid. Is it just me? I’ve been scouring Pinterest for a solution, and I found 3 that I’ve been incorporating (see a few selfies of me above). They’ve been working out great!

First Solution: Pair your skirt or dress with sneakers, chunky sandals, or Birkenstocks.

Second Solution: Pair your skirt or dress with a t-shirt, sweatshirt, or tank top for a more casual, less cutesy vibe.

Third Solution: Mix in black accesories or shoes when it’s not expected!

Here’s a few examples of me incorporating the solutions into my outfits:

I’m utilizing the sneaker and t-shirt solution in the next 2 outfits:
