The skirt was sold out in my size in petites, so I decided to go with a regular length.
At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to keep the length as is. Midi skirts are on-trend, and it's fun to play around with different shapes.
After thinking it through, I decided that I would prefer the skirt at a length right above the knees.
I'm getting it altered, but in the meantime, I'm featuring the look as worn the first go-around!
Hope you're enjoying my series on black and white fashion. Check out my earlier posts here and here.

Looove this outfit! The jacket is gorgeous and I love all the complementing clean lines! The shoes reinforce that and just finish off the look perfectly. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Michelle! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the mix of patterns. I do that a lot. Please don't hate me for saying so, but that look is too old for you. I think it's the skirt. Maybe shorter it will look better. Not sure. I would prefer a nice pair of tailored black pants with that. Would look something like a tux. I'll hold any further judgment until I see it shorter. I hate to see a young girl looking older. And, yes, I know how old you are, youngun! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't hate you for saying so...I actually kind of agree - I think it's the combination of the skirt length and current hair style. I think shortening the hem will make it look more age appropriate, and I'm trying to decide on a new do! I like edgy, but I can't really do a lot of edge for my corporate job. So, I need something in between where it is now and what I would do if I worked somewhere more low-key. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think this is the ultimate fall/end of summer look. Dark colors with the lighter elements. I would buy all of the things you're wearing and copy you if I could.
ReplyDeleteIn terms of balance, I like the idea of having something that feels cohesive on. A standout dress with simpler jewelry and shoes or a pair of jeans with nicer shoes and statement jacket. I think balance is important and helps me feel put together.
Thanks Sarah! :-)
