I filed and flew 150 nm X-CTRY last weekend. Nice layers of cirrus clouds BKN-OVC-SCT varying anywhere from 2000 (takeoff) FL40 to FL60. I filed and flew in, above and below the clouds in the course for the flight, landed using visual approaches.
It was my first time in VFR above a solid cloud deck (I thought it really was awesome).
It was a great flight, I learned a lot, had a great time, felt recharged.
Time in the clouds was probably less than 40% of total flight time, but impossible to track. I was in and out and through and between clouds at cruising alt in both directions.
So how much time should I call actual IFR in my logbook?
