i’ve realized wearing this skirt in summer to work is going to be a little tough. it’s pretty darn short but the opaque tights and whole pleated preppiness of it make it a bit better. it all of the sudden got cold again in the city so i’m taking advantage of it but wearing all the things i know i won’t be able to soon. that means lots of layers too!

wearing: lace blouse: thrifted from Beacon’s Closet, beaded cape sweater: Forever 21, flare pants: Allen B., patent pumps: Zara, lindsey link clutch: c/o Elly Clay, earrings and bracelet: vintage Ralph Lauren, leopard cuff: Forever 21, rings: Forever 21 and gift from mother in law!, makeup: Mally perfect prep lip primer, Sephora lipstick in ‘it girl,’ Julie Hewett cream blush in ‘destiny.’
black and white together is a classic pairing that becomes instantly more geometric and chic when opposite shapes and lengths are at play. this cropped Forever 21 sweater is years old and long forgotten until i went on the hunt for a contrasting yet streamlined addition to this blouse. i love how it doesn’t weigh down the blouse and worn open shows the beading without being too covering.
it’s rainy in the city right now but that won’t stop me from sneaking away from work for an hour to head to the soho showing of Erica Weiner’s collection with the one and only sara zucker! erica’s jewels are both new and vintage, and all have this charming, old world feel that’s surprisingly modern. i can’t wait to see the baubles in person and share my favorites! xoxo.

I may have worn a leopard skirt just yesterday, but that certainly didn’t stop me from wearing another today! This time I was going for more of a downtown feel, which has shifted in its definition for me lately and now includes very urban pieces with a touch of prep. I love how the slouchiness of this sweater adds a more relaxed feel to this rather shiny skirt! xoxo.
