Empty Streets

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
