Checking It Twice – Black Watch Skirt Two Ways
One black watch skirt styled two ways: a versatile holiday plaid you can dress up or down.
It’s a mad plaid world, and I just can’t stop! Today, I’m sharing a velvety black watch tartan skirt worn two ways for the holidays: casual and dressy. If you are not into plaid, you might want to skip P&P for the foreseeable future, but if like me you feel strongly that there can never be too much plaid let’s mingle and be merry!
If you are looking for a more subdued holiday plaid that goes with simply everything, go with black watch. It is the universal tartan after all! ? You can dress it up or down, pair it with neutrals or pops of red, the options are infinite.
I’ve styled this black watch skirt that I bought from Talbots last season two ways. Casual for daytime holiday outings: brunch with the girls, touring Christmas homes or light displays, shopping trips. Dressy for evening events: showings of the Nutcracker, cocktail parties, dates out with the hubby.

I’m adoring this little ruffle neckline dress from Vineyard Vines. I would wear this black watch top with jeans for casual days or with black pants for the office. For a chic, dramatic look pair this cape with a velvet dress to head to a swanky holiday gathering.
Plaid Tidings Y’all!
Partying with Pumps & Pushups … Straight A Style…
You may notice that several of the source links above say “SIMILAR” that is because I routinely shop my closet and mix old pieces with new. I strongly believe in buying quality, classic pieces that will last you year after year. When a link says this it just means that my exact piece of clothing is a past season, but I’ve found a very similar style for you that in fact I would buy today if I was looking for that item.
I love the clutch bag, what a find. Also as an aside, your hair is lovely longer.
My mother has some awesome finds in her closet! Thank you! ?
Thats a stunning picture of you from above! Love your skirt, especially with the cream I think. Have a fabulous day xx Maria
Thank you so much Maria!
You can never have too much plaid! Both of these outfits are so cute, especially the plaid and leopard!

Jill, I just found this #plaidandleopardsarebffs — so true! Thanks for stopping by.
Great choices! It’s so true, though I’m all about the loud, tartan red plaids, the black watch plaids really are festive but more subdued.

I love the loud plaids too, but some events call for a more subtle look! Cheers & Merry Christmas Virginia!
That plaid skirt is so cute! I love how versatile it is. Also that clutch is just gorgeous!
