I’ve had this floral-embroidered Alice + Olivia ball skirt hanging in my closet for more than a couple of seasons. I bought it for a formal party but ended up wearing something else instead. Recently I decided to put a totally different spin on it, dressing down its formality with simple basics that make it feel more fun than fairy tale. Please note, you don’t need a pickup truck as an accessory, but it kind of works with this look, don’t you think? (lol) I’ve searched and searched for you in an effort to find the same brocade ball skirt, with no luck, but I did resource some great alternatives along with the perfect basics.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Jodie! Give my best to Nancy and your beautiful mom! xoxM
First up Mary, that’s such a great picture! I have ordered a tulle skirt (have wanted one ever sine I saw SJP in one, all those years ago!) and it’s good to think I can get more wear out of it by dressing it down.
Thanks, Gail! Love putting a fun twist on formal pieces. Who knew this skirt had so much versatility :)
this is a great idea.
