This post has almost nothing to do with the iconic album Silk Degrees, except that I love this skirt so much it makes me want to do a “leet-le” shuffle!
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Must have been the Harbor Lights… What Can I Say? Alright… now that We’re Alone…I can get down to business. What Do You Want the Girl to Say?
After all the groans are over, I would really like to show you the #OOD (outfit of the day) that I have put together… using this great skirt from Darn Good Yarn.

Different lengths and a wide range of sizes — from teens through goddess!
I always thought this longer one was to dressy, but it works well over my Woolamina! Here are some ways I dressed it down:
For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.
What’s in store today:
A little dancing, a little blogging, some music-making, and knitting… all with a little silk degrees in the background!!
Here’s what I came up with for today!
For those of you not familiar with these skirts — they 2 layer, and are completely reversible… and one layer is longer than the other. So one side will show just the longer layer, and the other will show the shorter layer over the backside of the longer layer.
So you can get a lot of different color opportunities with each skirt. They are made of recycled silk saris and provide jobs for women in India.
I personally LOVE the iridescent copper color — although it was hard to capture in the photograph. Would be super great dressed up as well.
My life is just not all that dressy, so I was happy to find a way to pair this up with things I had for a more casual look.
I think in the summer it would be great with a t-shirt and some fisherman sandals!
Vest is an old denim number that I got from Cabellas about 20 years ago. Goes with everything.
Corduroy shirt is from JJill — by way of Goodwill — nice and lightweight with little flowers embroidered on it! (gold color is the backside of the long copper layer!)
I should have paired the skirt with the Shirt & the Vest! Would have been perfect for colder days.
And the vest would provide the necessary pockets for phone and keys!
The bracelet is one of my my latest find — $1.50 from Goodwill!
Thanks for joining me on my silk degrees post. Stay tuned for the next 66 days of #tracywearswool!
Be well!
