At 34 wears so far from this beautiful ochre orange Tree of Life maxi skirt that I scored at the opshop for just $4 at the start of 2020, it was overdue a ways to wear post! It's been a fun addition to my wardrobe since I bought it, and is a piece I keep reaching for.

30 Ways To Wear: Ochre Orange Maxi Skirt

I got really lucky scoring this ochre orange Tree of Life Maxi Skirt for just $4 at the opshop 5 years ago. It was a 50% off sale day, normally $8, but either way, it was a complete bargain. The soft rayon material is great in the hot Brisbane weather. I'm really thankful to whoever donated this skirt, as it has become a real go-to in my wardrobe. The ochre orange colour works well with neutrals like black, white and grey, but also pairs so nicely with brighter colours like res, blues and yellows.

Cost Per Wear

As this skirt was only $4 and I've worn it 24 times, this maxi skirt is down to 24 cents a wear. Definitely a bargain. It's still got a lot of life left and is something I always enjoy wearing, so it will certainly stick around in my wardrobe to be worn even more.

Here are just 30 of my favourite times I've worn this beautiful maxi skirt:

Orange Maxi Skirt With White

White is one of the neutrals that look really good with this orange maxi skirt! White tees are something most people have in their wardrobes, and as you can see in the first and last outfits, any style of white tee works well with a maxi skirt. The white denim jacket in the middle too is a great topper, especially on slightly cooler days.

Orange Maxi Skirt Layered For Winter Weather

It's not just warmer weather that has me reaching for this maxi skirt! It works well with cosy knits and winter layers, and if it's super cold I can even wear leggings under it. I have a lot of blue knits and scarves I wear in winter, and I like the bright colour of this orange maxi skirt with those blues. As you can see in that last outfit though, darker coloured knits like this burgundy one work just as well.

Grey Tops With Orange Maxi Skirt

Another great neutral to wear this orange skirt with is grey! I tend to prefer darker greys with this skirt, however as you can see in the middle oufits there, lighter grey works well too. Both those outfits on the end include yellow accessories, I like the pop of yellow from a bag worn against the orange maxi skirt.

Orange Maxi Skirt and Stripes

Much like the white tee in the first set of outfits above, a striped tee is another wardrobe staple of many people, and one that also works well with an orange maxi skirt. The solid, block colour of this skirt means any prints work well, but I do have a fondness for pairing this skirt with striped tops.

Black Top Worn With Orange Maxi Skirt

Orange and black can feel a bit too Halloween-ish sometimes, so I find when I'm wearing black with this maxi skirt I like to stick to a print like stripes, or add a contrasting colour like these yellow necklaces to make the outfit less Halloween like. I think it works well.

Layering an Orange Maxi Skirt With Denim Jackets

For spring and autumn days when it's just a little cooler, I like to layer this maxi skirt with denim jackets. Any tee works underneath, and the denim jacket helps keep me a bit warmer, something you need on a cooler day as this maxi skirt is a light rayon fabric.

Orange Maxi Skirt Worn With Red

While I have shown a lot of neutrals with this maxi skirt so far, I also like trying different colours with this skirt, as you can see with so many outfits above involving blue or an even brighter pairing with yellow. Red and orange is something I tentatively tried one day with this skirt and loved so much I keep coming back to! I like all shades of red with this ochre orange maxi skirt, but deeper burgundy tones are certainly my favourite. It creates such an autumnal toned outfit and always gets compliments.

Orange Maxi Skirt With Printed Tops

While I do most commonly reach for striped pieces to wear with this block colour maxi skirt, other prints look good too! From animal print, to polka dots, more abstract prints, or even just a graphic print tee, I've never found a printed top I didn't like wearing with this skirt yet.
