Simple Sophistication

I spent some time this week browsing through & cleaning up my boards on Pinterest…and it proved to be a fruitful exercise.  While doing so, I realized that most of the outfit pictures I’m drawn to & inspired by are really simple looks.  Sometimes the chicest combinations are just basic pieces combined with interesting details.  A lace-embellished collar on a silky white button-down + a classic pencil skirt in sleek (faux) leather + mixed metal dainty bracelets = simple sophistication. 

What I’m wearing:

H&M top, Forever 21 skirt (similar), Zara sandals (here) & clutch, Bracelets: Vintage, c/o Poshlocket (here) & J. Crew (via eBay) Target sunnies & earrings, Nails: Essie Lollipop, Lips: Revlon Moon Drops Blase Apricot

    Love this outfit! It is very simple but very sophisticated and chic just like you were going for. That skirt is amazing and fits you perfectly! Also loving the bracelets- I really need to check out Poshlocket.

    OMG I need those bracelets. I have the sandals coming in the mail TODAY and I can't wait to wear them.

    I love how interesting details (like a lace collar on a white blouse and a black skirt in leather) can really change the look of an otherwise simple outfit. Those sandals are amazing, and I've decided that I'm ordering that arrow bracelet!

    I try to remember what Coco Chanel said – before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.
    That having been said, I definitely DO have my 'magpie' days, but I KNOW I am a spectacle.

    Simple and classic is always the best way to go!!! Perfect outfit for most any age. Looks like a million bucks!

    So funny to see you wearing the same sandals I just posted on my blog – we have a psychic link I swear!

    This is such a lovely look for its simple elegance. I'm a big fan of a skirt, I've been after something like this for a while, I own a linen/leather skirt but it's shorter – yours is a great length.

    Now aren't those shoes super comfortable?

    I am so happy you posted this skirt and a similar one! I keep seeing everyone's cute leather skirts that are like, $200. I can't afford that for a luxury piece! Love your blog 🙂
