At first I pictured the All Saints plaid skirt with a fitted jacket, but then spotted the JCrew sequined tank and thought it would be a fun combination of grunge and glamorous. For some reason I really like the combination of grey with yellow, so picked the La Plume pumps to set the whole outfit off.
I'm always on the lookout for classics with a twist, like this All Saints blazer that is unique but not too crazy to wear to a business meeting. Normally I'm not a big fan of animal print - a little too cougar-y for me- but JCrew turned it into something beautiful by interpreting leopard into plum and grey. Top this all off with some dainty-heeled ankle boots and a crystal necklace. to bring it all together
I am in love with this robin's egg blue pencil skirt from JCrew, and wanted to highlight it's brightness by pairing it with black. The draping of the All Saints Monai blouse adds some interest in contrast to the simple shape of the pencil skirt. The solid colors of the overall outfit balance perfectly with the print of the Molly pumps, and the crystal bracelets add just the right amount of 'done-ness'.
This brown sweater dress is a great shape, but really, uh, brown. So I decided to bring in some color with the gold-orange ruffled tank. I'd wear it underneath so that the ruffles would slightly peek out from under the cowl neck. In theory, and in my imagination, it looks fabulous, but this is probably a have to try on to see how it would really work out in real life. Unfortunately I didn't really spot any shoes or jewelry at JCrew that would go that great with this outfit, but I did like the Campo patent leather bag that brings a little shine to dark earthiness of the dress.
