Belt: Banana Republic, $32
Pants: JCrew, $140
Shoes: Banana Republic, $98
Why it works: This top is super versatile and tunic-like so the wide belt gives it structure. You really can't go wrong with a pair of classic cuffed trousers and animal print peep toes. This look is professional but fun and has personality.
Here's the same outfit but with a different belt. It gives you an idea that you can wear the top in a different way with a different belt and it still looks super cute. I decided to wear the first outfit. Which do you like better?
This is what I am wearing today. I love mixing different textures and prints together. People always think things need to match, but really it's all about finding pieces that compliment one another. I found this Tucker for Target skirt and my local Goodwill or as I like to call it, G-dub. I was so heartbroken when this skirt sold out at Target, but was thrilled when I found this hidden treasure at the G-dub for $5!!!Why this works: Orange and Blue are opposites on the color wheel; they compliment and enhance one another.
The micro fine pinstripe on the blouse doesn't compete with the bold rust colored herringbone print of the skirt.
One thing I should point out. I'm 5'9" but have short legs for my height and and enormously long torso. A trick I use to minimize the torso and elongate my legs is to wear nude heels, and high waisted skirts. This creates the ideal balance!
