Laced Layers


Look familiar? This outfit is, more or less, a reinvention of this one, made even better by an extra dash of green with the sandals. In fact, I had wanted to wear these green sandals with the first outfit, but I thought black peep toes made for a slightly dressier ensemble. I actually consider this outfit as the casual version of the first, but leave it to me to consider a ponte pencil skirt casual. Well, in my closet, it really is...


Okay, okay, there really isn't very much that's casual about this outfit, especially given the fact that a few people thought the outfit was a dress. Is it possible to even try to be casual with this necklace? Or with the sandals? Or with, you know, a skirt?

Top - LOFT / Pencil skirt - Lane Bryant / Sandals - Nine West (via Endless)

It was the backdrop of beige and blacks that dumped another idea for this fabulous necklace in my lap, though. I continue to experiment with textures and layers with this necklace, and the more there are, the more I seem to love the result.

    Holy smokes!  I have that very same necklace (in black, though).  It's a fab choice for this outfit.

  3. great blouse (i rarely look at loft these days, i would have guessed it was asos).  i like the black shoes, a bit more film noir.

  5. Gorgeous outfit! Baublebar is selling this necklace, but I've been on the fence about buying because I wasn't sure how to style it. I'm inspired to purchase it now :) Here's a link in case anybody else wants it:
