There was a day when I never would have worn this top & skirt together (and according to my husband, I shouldn’t now either). But, from time to time it is good to take risks and try something slightly outside our fashion comfort zone. Sometimes the results might just pleasantly surprise you.
What I’m wearing:
LOFT top, Banana Republic skirt, Anne Klein NY tights (here), LC Lauren Conrad pumps (on sale here), J. Crew necklace (via eBay), Nails: Dior Vernis Purple Mix
Independence Day
Square Cash
Little Striped Dress
Holiday Party Style

November 29, 2011 at 1:05 pmI really like this skirt and top together. It would have been easy to just throw on a black sweater or something, but this makes it more interesting! Love the pretty necklace too.

Thanks for posting the black Friday deals, by the way – I ordered a bunch of jeans from NY & Co., which I've never tried before, but free shipping/returns and 50% off – nothing to lose!

November 30, 2011 at 10:26 pmI am definitely pleasantly surprised 🙂 I would never think to pair that top with a bright green skrit, but you pull it all together and look so CHIC! Going outside of my comfort zone is something I try to apply to all areas of my life, fashion included. Props to you!
