Shadows of Dusk

January 9th, 2012

J.Crew Blouse, UO Sweater, Ray Ban Sunglasses, Zara Skirt, Prada Shoes, Vintage Clutch and Bracelets, Hermes Cuff, Nars Heat Wave Lipstick

When I bought this skirt last week, I was unsure how well it would work with the rest of my wardrobe. It wasn’t particularly practical or versatile, with its asymmetrical cut and whispery fabric, but somehow it’s become one of those pieces that works with everything. I’ve since worn it several different ways to accommodate the varying temperatures these past few days – with a slouchy sweater, a tissue-thin tank top, and a jewel-colored silk blouse.

    I love that skirt! I have been pondering purchasing this one:

    but I wasn’t totally sure how to style it other than just a plain top, or maybe a blazer, but i love this preppy look you have on top juxtaposed against the sheer skirt. love!

    you look stunningly cool! In the second to last picture you kind of look a bit like a better dressed version of lady gaga – which is a compliment in case you don’t like her because I love her!
