I saw this ad for Ann Taylor Loft and really loved the whole ensemble. I love laying a bold, statement necklace over a button down top. It's a sort of preppy/girly vibe that I'm really into these days. Also, in my opinion, the structure of the blouse (pockets, scrunches sleeves, collar) paired with the simplicity of the skirt (simple a-line shape) creates a really pretty silhouette for more curvy women-- and I happen to be one. That works out nicely for me!
One of these days I'll pick up a lace pencil skirt, but until then, this gorgeous multicolor tweed skirt from J. Crew factory store is a great alternative! I don't own a chambray top, so instead I rolled up the sleeves of a blue Polo oxford. This necklace I'm wearing is one of my favorites! I picked it up from J.Crew (shocker) a few years ago when I was in college. It ties as a ribbon in the back-- beautiful detail when I wear simple tops/tanks/dresses where my neck is visible. Lastly, I wore nude heels to match the Loft ad and to finish the look.
I also modified the look for when you leave the office and it's a bit colder outside by swapping out heels for boots, and layering on a puffy vest for warmth :) |
Is this an outfit you would recreate with your own wardrobe? I'd love to see pics if you do! I'll feature them on my blog if you send them to me :)

ReplyDeleteI have that J.Crew skirt, and I love the way(s) you styled it. I usually wear mine with a black or dark teal-ish top, so I'll have to try it with my light blue Oxford. Super cute.
ReplyDeleteLoreal-- Yes one of my fave necklaces!
ReplyDeleteJen-- isn't it such a great skirt?! I think a dark teal top would be so pretty with this skirt. Good choice!
