Opposites Attract

When I first received this tank, it seemed a natural fit with skinny jeans and ballet flats…but when paired with a (faux) leather pencil skirt & platforms, it takes on a more modern vibe.  I personally love dressing up casual items or dressing down the fanciest of pieces because it gives them an effortless, unstuffy feel and increases the versatility of your wardrobe.  Other combinations to try using this same rule of opposites: chambray shirt + sequin skirt, black tuxedo blazer + grey tank & cutoffs, simple tee + lace pencil skirt.

What I’m wearing:
StyleMint tank (30% off your first-time purchase with code SMNEW30), Forever 21 skirt (last seen here; similar), c/o Ann Taylor heels (on sale here), J. Crew necklace (via eBay), Rafē New York clutch (via eBay; similar), Vintage bracelets, Target sunnies (similar), Lips: Revlon Colorburst Coral

    I JUST ordered that skirt online! So glad I did, it looks so REAL!

    Does it run small? I ordered a small, hope it's not too snug.

    Love the outfit!
