Cherry Meets Melon

January 23rd, 2013

 J.Crew Hat, Ray-Ban Aviators, Madewell Sweater, Acne Skirt, Prada Shoes, Clare Vivier Clutch

I usually associate longer dresses and skirts with fancier occasions, but this outfit couldn’t have been more relaxed and comfortable. I’ve had this skirt for a while –  it’s my go-to piece for when I need to punch things up a bit. Instead of pairing it with something neutral (like I did here and here), I loved the way it looked when worn with a similarly bright sweater.

    I’m sorry but something about this skirt bunching up and dragging on the ground doesn’t look right to me. Is it supposed to be that way? Otherwise cute outfit.

    That skirt is one of my favorite of yours and I love how you paired with a bright sweater. PERFECT outfit for spring! Also that hat makes the outfit feel less formal. Gorgeous, Emily!

    Would love if you could do a blog post on spring essentials.

    I love the first photo… yes, the skirt is too long and yes the side profile looks bulky with the sweater and strings on back of skirt… but in photo.. it looks lovely… does that count? Lovely colors…

  • Alessandra

    i would love to see this skirt paired with a cute fitted stripe top…. that would look so hot.

    I too find 5 inch heels and floor length skirts very comfortable and casual. And nothing is better than red strings hanging from butt, truly iconic! Thanks for keeping it classy, sassy, and as always inspirational Em!
