Trend alert: dressing down formal wear

I love buying a new piece to wear to a special occasion.  It feels so good knowing that I have a new stylish outfit that makes me feel confident and fabulous for that specific event.  However, one of the problems I face is that afterwards that piece either sits in my closet forever or is worn a couple more times until it sits in my closet forever.  Lucky for me (and you who know what I'm talking about!) is that it is currently trendy to dress down evening wear or more formal pieces.  This has given my closet new life!  Here are some of my favorite ways to wear this trend using Sevier Skirts that are often purchased for special occasions:

Guilded Age by kateschriver featuring a longsleeve shirt

 We took our Gilded Age skirt, which has both silver and gold threading and paired it with low key separates.  This would be perfect for lunch by the water or strolling local shopping spots.  We added a breezy chambray button down and a long crisp white cardi with braided sandals and a coral fedora.  For an extra laid back vibe we included a boho drawstring bag and a side braid.

Lucia Leather by kateschriver featuring an infinity scarf

To me, one of the hardest things to do is to create a day look with a black leather skirt.  But I've learned that with the right pairings and accessories a leather skirt can look just as casual as your favorite pair of jeans.  We paired our Lucia Leather skirt with a peach tee and tied it up to create that relaxed look we're going for.  We also included a matching lightweight scarf and white sandals.  For an extra pop of color and to keep with the trends we included a bright blue mini cross body bag.  Keep your hair simple with a bun or natural texture.

Collette Floral by kateschriver featuring gucci handbags

After a long week it's time to relax and give ourselves a little me time.  We paired one of our favorite formal skirts, the Collette Floral Embroidery, with simple separates like a bright white tank and light gray Kimono.  We also included our  glasses for reading our favorite book and simple dark blue lounge sandals.  If we even make it out of the house that day we will take our light blue bamboo handle bag with us along with a to go cup of green tea!

Celebrating New Beginnings With Pastels

Easter is quickly approaching and along with that comes celebration with friends and family.  This Spring holiday is all about new beginnings in our own lives as well as the world around us and the color choices of this season reflect that.  Pastel colors seem to be a staple, so show off your favorite hues by pairing them with a Sevier Skirt! We've chosen the Cathedral to pair with a beautiful range of orange and aqua pastels.  Check out some other posts that feature the Cathedral Skirt here and here!

Sevier Skirts and Turkish- T

Earlier this week we posted about the versatility of our product and transforming typically fall fabrics into looks that are perfectly in line with this season's Spring trends.  It is so much fun trying different looks with our favorite Sevier Skirts!
That is why we are so excited to pair up with another Nashville company, Turkish-T, to showcase how versatile both are products are and how amazing they look together!
If you haven't checked out Turkish-T yet, you can do it here.  They are all about creating a product that has many end uses, much like Sevier Skirts.  Their Ts come in a variety of colors and sizes.  For our purposes we used them as scarves, but they can just as easily be used as towels, blankets, table cloths, you name it.

Here are some of our favorite looks...

See how easy it is to pair colors textures and even patterns to create a whole new look!

We had such a great time working with Turkish-T.  If you want to learn more about their company check out their website at http://www.turkish-t.com/

All About Options

Owning a Sevier Skirt means having options when it comes to your wardrobe.  We love to mix and match pattern, texture, and color to create a look that is all our own!  Many of our fabrics offer a wide range of versatility and can be worn from day to night or from season to season.  (Check out how we do it here!)  One of our favorite tricks is using our Fall fabric line to create looks that are perfectly in tune with Spring trends. By adding a pop of Spring color or bright accessories a typical fall skirt can be transformed for a new season!

Here are three of our favorite season to season looks:

The Marissa Gray 

One great thing about many fall fabrics is their neutral color pallet.  This makes them easy to dress for a new season. The warm puddy color of the Marissa Gray is paired with bright sandals and a sleeveless eyelet to transition into warmer weather.

 The Cathedral

We paired our Cathedral Skirt with bright pops of color to create a fun weekend look.  Add your favorite pair of sunglasses and you are ready for the sun and shade!

Platinum Coin

This skirt looks amazing with all different shades of blue.  We always love pairing it with a chambray button down, but try it with a bright aqua or turquoise for a great warm weather look!

The importance of creating a product that can be worn multiple times to many different occasions is one of our highest priorities.  If you have any questions about styling a skirt or what to share with us how creative you can be with your own Sevier Skirt we would love to hear from you!

Importance of Custom

We are so passionate about offering custom made skirts for many reasons.  Custom means that the fabric will be tailored to your body and offer you a one-of-a-kind fit that you can't get at any other boutique or department store.  Custom also means that we will work with you until you love the fit of your skirt.  (In fact, we offer free alterations 90 days after you receive your Sevier Skirt!)
Where else are you able to choose from different fabrics, skirt cuts, and hem lengths to create a wardrobe piece that is made exactly the way you want!

One of our main company goals is to provide our costumers with consistency.  Weather that is providing constant high quality fabric or  continually letting you know that we always want our customers to reach out to us if they have questions about sizing or skirt fabric.

So if you have any questions that need answered, please let us know!
We would love to help you.

Skirt Of The Week: Moonstone Silver

Happy Monday!  I cannot believe we are already entering the last week of March!  This season has been flying by.  This week we are featuring one of Sevier Skirts most popular fabrics as skirt of the week!  The moonstone silver will be available online at 20% off it's regular price today through Sunday the 30th.

Schumacher top / Pink shirt, $205 / Mango chiffon vest, $46

We love the beautiful neutral color and texture of the Moonstone Silver.  It looks amazing with any color but we especially love it with light pinks, bright reds, and even floral patterns.  Mixing this skirt with a nice spring-y print will give your outfit great texture and pattern depth.

The Art of Print Mixing. A Styling Session with e. Allen Boutique.

Last week we posted about our amazing styling session with Stacey Rhodes Boutique in Brentwood, Tn. (If you missed it check it out here!)  Today we are featuring e. Allen, a boutique dedicated to providing their customer with stylish separates that help them make the most out of their wardrobe. (They do styling too!)  e. Allen has a gorgeous location in the Gulch area as well as the flagship location in Murfreesboro.

When stepping inside e. Allen for the first time on an exceptionally windy day in Nashville I could tell that presentation as well as merchandise must be important to the owner.  The shop was decorated beautifully.  Large windows covered one wall of the shop making a bright and airy space, perfect for showcasing Sevier Skirts along with e. Allen merchandise.

Rachel, the sales manager and I had so much fun pairing tops and accessories with some of our favorite Sevier Skirts.  We realized that we both loved mixing prints and creating unexpected looks with separates.  All though we styled some of the same skirt patterns as our last session with Stacey Rhodes Boutique the outcomes were completely different.  The versatility of our Sevier Skirts is one of many reasons our customers love our product.  It is so easy to use one skirt for two completely different looks.

Checkout our outfits below!

For our first look we chose a lime green embroidered large daisy print sleeveless top with our Hot Tamale Skirt in blue.  This is what we call pattern mixing!  Even though we used different shapes and colors it works because the hues are both in the same bright color family.  Both patterns have similar spacing and color to white balance which also allows these pieces to work together so beautifully!  We added a statement necklace with the same bright blue as our skirt to tie everything together.

 Outfit Details:  Lime Blouse, Blue, lime pendant necklace, Hot Tamale Skirt

We kept the colors pretty similar to one another for our second look.  The loose peach blouse complements the soft greens and vibrant stripes of our Karma Stripe Skirt.  Again, we decided to add a little pattern mixing with a floral scarf in similar colors to add some depth to this outfit.  Both the scarf and the skirt feature a smaller pattern which allows them to work beautifully together!

 Outfit Details:  Peach Brynn top, Floral print infinity scarf, Karma Stripe Jacquard Skirt

 This outfit became one of my personal favorites.  We paired our Blush Sequins Skirt with e. Allen's chambray bomber jacket, light bright white tank, and floral statement necklace.  The outcome is a casual outfit that seamlessly goes from a day out and about to dinner and drinks.  I would wear this outfit everyday if I could!  I love the casual look of chambray with a bit of elegant sparkle.  Plus, how spring ready is this look?  Perfection.

Outfit Details:  French Connection Penny Plains v-neck tank,  bella dahl river bomber jacket, Elizabeth Cole pendant necklace with pink kites, blush sequin skirt.

Maxi Skirts

Since last season, The Maxi Skirt has become a Spring/Summer and even early Fall staple.  They're so great because they can be dressed up for a special occasion or worn casually with a cute chambray top and sandals. 

Over here at the Sevier Skirts office we love the ease and slight elegance of a great Maxi.  So much so that we offer a number of fabrics that look and feel great as a longer skirt!

Check out these fabric options that work as a Maxi:

The Perfect Pink

Pink is one those colors that can be soft and sweet or really bold.  If you think pink is way too girly for you...think again!  Sevier Skirts is all about being able to take a color and wear it several different ways.  Visit our Website to shop by color

 Radial Target in Hot Pink
This option is great because it adds just a hint of pink to an outfit.  We paired it with an equally hot pink top, but you can also pair it with a white peasant shirt or even mint green or light yellow for a more subtle look. So Spring-y!  We love it!

Meet the sweeter side of pink!  The Blush Seqins is a light pink sequins skirts that can be dressed up or down with the right pairings and accessories.  I know what you're thinking..."A sequin day skirt?" Yes!  When paired with a casual tee like the one pictured this skirt is absolutely appropriate for a lunch date.

 Weather you're a hot pink gal or gravitate towards pastels find it in the Pink section of our website.
