Some days just require a good mix of dressy and casual. I feel like this skirt allows the best of both worlds flawlessly. I found this skirt at Forever21 as I was walking out considering the trip a complete wash. I have been dying to find the perfect crochet pencil skirt for months now and here it was, right in front of me when I was least expecting it. Don't you love when things work out that way? Right when you're about to give up the shopping trip and call it a fail you find just the thing you've been looking for and suddenly it's like the best trip ever!
I'm not really much of an in-person shopper, I actually hate trying things on in the store and trying to figure out whether or not I like this {insert random article of clothing here} all while dealing with tags, security tags, and the horrible lighting that seems to inevitably be in every dressing room but I sucked it up and headed back into the dressing room for the third time that day to try this skirt on. I had a hard time envisioning it the way I wanted to wear it since the top I was wearing definitely wasn't the best top for the skirt but my friend convinced me it was cute (and I'll admit, it is) and I could fashion it so many different ways so it went home with me. I definitely have no regrets on this one! I went home to immediately try it on with several different tops (all while texting her pictures asking what goes best - she totally needs to be my new stylist) and we both decided the mix of dressy and casual was best. I love the loose fitting t-shirt haphazardly tucked in and the two-tone wedges paired with the girly crochet of the skirt. What do you think, do you like the mixture of casual and dressy or you prefer to keep these styles separate?
Love that your friend convinced you to get this - looks great!! I love how you paired it with the simple T and jean jacket and I really love that necklace!!
I could try on like 40 things in Forever 21 and then on the way out pass by like a dozen things I somehow missed! I love how you styled it & love those wedges!
Very cute! I love that you paired it with a simple white tee and a denim jacket. This will definitely be one of those outfits that you can reach for when you don't know what to wear.
I love contrasting a tee with a feminine skirt (actually, recently did a post about graphic tees paired with mini skirts!). Love adding the denim jacket to pull it together!
Forever 21 does it again! I'm actually the opposite.. I tend to do WAY more in-store shopping than online... mostly because having to do returns intimidates me. I despise the post office, haha!
i love a good f21 score! i like the mix of casual and dressy! the tee and crochet skirt work well with the denim jacket and sandals! you look so effortless chic! =)
