A-Line

Chambray shirt:  Old Navy (similar here), Skirt:  Forever 21 (similar here), Shoes:  Zara (similar here), Bag:  LV Speedy 30, Necklace:  Spike the Punch (on Etsy), Belt:  Anthropologie (similar here)

I love the carefree flowy look of an A-line skirt, but have never been a huge fan of the way they look on me.  When I saw this one in Forever 21 I thought I would give them another attempt - for under $20 I thought 'what the heck!'.  I was really pleased by the versatility of the skirt and I like the way it falls on me.  It doesn't overwhelm my small frame (or accentuate my chicken-legs). 

 The chambray shirt and statement necklace gave the skirt a more preppy look for work, while the semi-sheer Zara blouse and delicate jewelry in my second outfit gave the skirt a more romantic look for a night out.

The verdict: a great fashion find for any occasion!



Blouse:  Zara (similar here, here, here), Shoes:  J.Crew (similar here), Clutch:  unknown brand gift (similar here), Necklace:  H&M, Pearl Earrings:  gift from my grandmother (similar here)
