Skirt & Stripes!

Hope you had a nice weekend guys!  I studied but was able to sneak a few hours to the bar with a friend who’s having some dating issues.  Marriage is not easy but hearing some of these issues makes me appreciate marriage more.  I also attended a game where my lovely mother in law was announced as teacher of the year…proud of her!

About this outfit, I simply realized I had this unworn white BCBG top and wanted to wear it.  I thought to wear the skirt with before it gets too cold.  I like that the skirt and top are both flared out and the jacket makes the look more fitted; and also great for the evening when cooler.  I say when unsure of what color to pair with a white or black item, pair them together.  Can’t go wrong with black and white together! 

Skirt- H&M (Seen here), Top- BCBG Generation (I like here), Jacket- Forever 21{old} (Similar here), Bag- Marc Jacobs (I like here), Watch- Michael Kors (Seen here), Necklace- Trend Society{boutique} (I like here, here), Bracelet- Forever 21 (Seen here), Shoes- Zara (Seen here), Rings-House of Dazzle (Seen here).

Thank you for visiting & happy veterans day!

xo,

Yvonne

    Totally loving this look…after seeing it on IG I could not wait to get on the blog to leave a comment. I love how the top & the skirt flows together, the bias of the top was made for the flow of the sway of the skirt. As a seamstress, I appreciate cuts & deets like this. And thanks for telling the story behind the outfit…I know not all outfits have a story but the inspiration is as much in the telling as it is in the styling.

    You're so right, you can never go wrong with a white and black colour combo. I love asymmetric tops, they just give an outfit a little more edge! Lovin' this whole look.
