Maxi Skirt. 翻到一篇未曾刊出的舊穿搭，看著照片中的西裝外套和及踝百摺長裙，以及短襪和小皮鞋，那天的記憶就這樣被記在這套穿搭中。For some reasons, I have never posted this outfit which was taken a while ago. I styled this navy blue blazer with a pleated maxi skirt. As the spring is a bit windy, I completed my outfit with a pair of navy socks and burgundy red loafers.

Maxi Skirt. 翻到一篇未曾刊出的舊穿搭，依稀記得是尚未出國前春季的某一日，有點涼又不會太涼的天氣，偶爾一陣微風吹起裙角，去嘉義吃最後一次的雞肉飯。看著照片中的西裝外套和及踝百摺長裙，以及短襪和小皮鞋，那天的記憶就這樣被記在這套穿搭中。

很多人都說矮的人不適合穿長裙。我自己個子不高，但很喜歡長裙的飄逸感，所以搭的是稍微短版的西裝外套，也加了皮帶豎起腰身，不讓比例失衡；配合當時微涼的天氣，腳上套了雙和西裝外套同色系的短襪，配上酒紅色的樂福皮鞋。這篇的單品都不是新的，所有的衣服都穿了好幾年，但我仍然嘗試搭出新意。在快速時尚推行衣服穿完就丟的浪費主張同時，有時候可以為你的衣櫃做一件比較環保的事情，就是將陳舊的單品重複穿搭出新意，弱弱的在環境保護和潮流時尚之間貢獻微薄的心意…。

｜#ootd｜Pleated Maxi Skirt & Blazer

Maxi Skirt. I recently found these photos which I have never posted before for some reasons. These photos were taken in spring a while ago when I still lived in Taiwan. When looking through these pictures, it took me on a stroll down memory lane. It’s a spring day, and the weather was not too hot and not too cold. The breeze blew through the skirt gently. I started remembering this is the day I visited Chiayi for the local speciality delicious chicken rice. (And it’s unbelievably yummy!) It’s true that a picture is a memory frozen in time. I wore this navy blue blazer and a pleated maxi skirt. As the spring is a bit windy, I completed my outfit with a pair of navy socks and burgundy red loafers. 

People often say ankle-lenth skirts are not for petite women. I’m quite petite but I love maxi skirt a lot. I opted for a cropped blazer and used a belt to define my waist. With the right accessories, the short blazer and the belt give the outfit a more polished structure. For the shoes, I styled a pair of burgundy red loafers and navy ankle socks as the weather was still too cold for bare feet. 

All the items of this outfit are old which I have been wearing for many years. Still, I tried to mix and match for a different take. While fast fashion has been associated with throwaway fashion as it delivers products to the mass market at affordable prices, sometime the most ethical thing you can do for the environment is mix and match old items in your wardrobe as possible as you can. Even though in today’s trendy world of fast fashion, styles are made to be disposable, still you can start by doing something small like remixing old things. I know it’s small, but at least it’s a start.
