Chambray and Satin

I recently wore this satin skirt with a leopard-print top for a New Year's party. It works well as a fancy piece, but I like that it can also be dressed down for a not-as-fancy dinner out or for daytime, like I did here with this chambray shirt.

I was going to tout the look of white or off-white pieces, like my jacket, for winter, but when I looked through these photos, I realized my legs were my whitest winter piece. I'm a fan of bare legs whenever possible, but I might consider some tights next time!

  3. That skirt is super fun. You can probably pair it with so many things for such different looks. Is the hot pink a park of the skirt or is that an added belt?

  5. Tam, I'm so in love with this skirt!! I love how it could be dressy or more casual like this. I am like you as well -- if I can get away with bare legs, I typically prefer them over tights unless I'm wearing something a bit short and need the extra coverage. Your legs look gorgeous here :)
