Pencil Me In

This outfit is probably the best example of how classic and basic pieces/silhouettes can still make an interesting and unique outfit when put together with some funky accessories. Pairing a basic and uber soft white cotton t-shirt with a below the knee pencil skirt is simple, but putting a leather jacket over it all toughens it up. Add some tough hardware, like a big belt and chunky necklace, and some fun shoes, and you have a look that's taken up a notch.

T-shirt: Forever 21. Skirt: Many Belles Down via Ambiance SF. Jacket: Gap. Booties: Schuler & Sons. Sunglasses: Ray- Ban. Necklace: World Market. Belt: Vintage. Bag: H&M. Bracelets: Vintage and Banana Republic.




I also just wanted to say a quick thank-you to everyone that has followed, or even visited my blog. Your interest in something I am passionate about means a lot and pushes me to keep trying new outfit combos to share with you all. This blog is still a work in progress, and I'm trying to find my footing, but to see it grow in the few months I've had it is amazing and it is all because of you guys. So, thank you!!! Pin It
