Defaulted


Today was one of those days that I had a completely different outfit in mind than what I actually walked out of the house wearing. I had been looking for another way to wear this top, though, and this is what I came up with. My default is always a pencil skirt, you know...


Yellow and grey is a favorite combination of mine, so I went for one of my more casual, ponte versions. I'm not sure I love the proportions with a skirt, but the way the lace print thins out near the border seems to help a bit. What really brings the whole outfit together for me is the handbag, though. I've been looking for a funky black handbag for a while now, and this DKNY black nylon and (lots of) gold hardware TJMaxx find was IT. I'm rather impressed how perfectly it completes the outfit, really.

As a top I was over the moon to get my hands on, I really am having trouble how else to style it. Any suggestions?

  2. I think It would look great with a pair of skinny jeans (but that is dressing down for you, I know!!) I like it with the pencil skirt, definitely think it needs something fitted on top. It's an awesome top!!

  4. haha! yeah, i think that's my favorite way to wear the top, so I'll probably stick with it - maybe change up the shoes and accessories for next time. i'm sure it'd look good with regular jeans too!
