I’ve always been a fan of a sharp outfit that can take me from meetings to drinks, and of course, one that’s incredibly comfortable while I’m at it. And it’s outfits and accessories like these, that really prove that it really is ALL in the ladylike details.
I scored this everyday off-the-shoulder top recently from J.Crew, and it’s on major sale right now. It’s a soft cotton that creates a nice silhouette, while hugging you in the most simple and flattering way. And it lies just right; it doesn’t ride up like most off-the-shoulder tops because of the way it’s cut. I bought it in a medium for jeans and a small for a highwaisted skirt such as this.
The top easily tucked into this high-waisted A-line cream skirt with black leather trim, another find from J.Crew. At first I was very against highwaisted skirts thinking they were only for the double zeros of the worlds, but after finding the ones that work for my body I know can’t get enough. Sadly, this version isn’t available online anymore, but THIS ONE is quite similar and I’ve also linked a few more in the widget below.
Accessorizing this outfit was the part I really enjoyed. Since the colors and lines of the top and skirt were straightforward, I knew I wanted to make a statement with my bag, jewelry and shoes. This beautiful bag is by ZAC Zac Posen, and just one part of the fresh new fall line that’s TO DIE FOR. I’m utterly in love with the flower strap detailing. And as you may remember from last week, I shared the most adorable wristlet from the fall collection too.
The sunglasses you’ve seen before; my Pradas have proven to be a wonderful wardrobe staple. And the pearl earrings and stack of bangles are both from the shoppe. The earrings are here, and just call about the bracelets-sorry they aren’t online yet.
Which brings me to the shoes. I just LOVE the silver d’Orsay toe paired with its low, tapered gold stiletto heel. I’ve come to rely on DVF for gorgeous shoes like these; classic and feminine, with an unexpected twist! Plus they’re beyond comfortable; I can wear them all day without worry. Win, win! Truly, MKR
