Casually Unexpected

Casually Unexpected

 

I have been wanting to put a day look together with this thrifted blue tweed mini-skirt. 

The skirt's potential functionality inspired me. You could very easily dress it up,

 but my vision for the skirt was more of a street look. Something a bit more casual and unexpected.

I paired the mini with a pajama style top. It has a laid back fit but the black and white stripes

keep it chic. I mentioned in a previous post that a pajama style top is an effortless way to look put together. 

This look was all about contrasts from the different textures of the two pieces, the top is a thin chiffon material and the mini is tweed, to the color combo. I love how the black and white stripes work with the mixed blue of the mini. It works because blue, in my eyes, is a pop of color but pairs like a neutral.

A successful treasure hunt at the thrift store ended with

me walking out with this blue tweed mini skirt.

What I love about this skirt: the texture, the color,

 the versatility, and the pockets - of course.

The texture is unexpected but not too busy. 

The color, classic.

It can be dressed up with strappy heels, dressed down with a 

pair of Converse - which I cannot wait to sport come summer - ,

or given an edgy look with a chunky boots. 

The same could be said for the top.

A not so basic white tee is the perfect top for summer. 

The ruffles do all the work for you.

 There is no need to think; just grab your pop of

 color shoes/bag and enjoy the summer sun.

It was a casual ripped up jeans and 

fuzzie sweater kind of day but...I 

had to add some contrasting leather.

Also, Ariel decided to make an appearance in

the form of my phone case/latest obsession.
