There's no big frills to this outfit, right? Just a pencil skirt, a sleeveless top, a bracelet, and heels. But, I do believe it's all in the details though - a fun print, a touch of ruffles, a contrasting bag, and the cute little bow on the shoes. And really, I always forget how much I love pencil skirts until I put them on again. And I also forget that sometimes no big frills is a good thing!

So happy to finally catching up with you. Jet-lag is almost gone and I am almost back to normal :)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you Carylee simple details make any outfit and although you think this beautiful outfit is no frills ( meaning it is effortless chic for me) it really is everything - girly, pretty, so well put together! <3 I think pencil skirts are epitome of a polished look and the polka dots make yours so playful, those cute shoes and the beautiful ruffled top are the perfect finishing touches. Girl you look great!!! XOXO, Elif

I do really agree about the pencil skirt - sometimes I feel like the cut is just universally flattering to everyone. It's such a instant way to complete a look!
DeleteThanks for everything!
Sorry for the double links above- I am back to normal but obviously my mac is not :)))
ReplyDeleteNo worries - I sent an email to the completely wrong person for a wrong project this morning, so I'm struggling too! haha
DeleteI thought you were going to say you keep forgetting not to shop. Ha ha. I love pencils too. I just wish I had more places to wear skirts. It's not the same when working from home. Again, love the shoes and bag. I like seeing what accessories you add to your outfits.
ReplyDeleteI've been doing so well with the ban! I did order some replacement beauty stuff last night, but that can't count!
DeleteYes, I worked from home for a few months, and it was hard! Not only for shopping but just even to feel motivated! I don't think I could work from home 100% of the time.
This looks great on you. I love the bright top with the polka skirt. Very pretty all around.
