Intimidated
Ralph Lauren White Button Down & Nike Crewneck Sweatshirt (similar here) - similar layered button down and crewneck here (it's on sale too!) / eShakti Grey Floral Skirt c/o (30% off until 10/16) / COACH Cross Body Purse / Target Oversized Watch / Bauble Bar Pearl Drop Earrings / Gold Frame Aviators (similar here) / Steve Madden Quilted Faux Leather Sneakers (on sale!)
Pencil skirts always intimidated me as something you could only wear to work - never on an easy day off. And the longing to create a look that could encompass both simplicity and comfort with a pencil skirt brings me here! I've been loving the look of "Peter Pan" collars for years, the femininity yet boy-meets-girl appeal when paired with a looser blouse or sweatshirt over the top is a combination that can't be beaten in my book. I tried to keep this look on the more put together side of things for brunching and what not, but you could easily make this look even more wearable by switching the top out for a chunky sweater, the sneakers for your favorite gym kicks, and a baseball cap for that laid-back "cool girl" look. It's crazy to think that a year ago all I thought you could could wear with a pencil skirt was a blazer, boy have I learned!

Black and White Stripes
Victoria's Secret Stripe Tee (bought this one with it for the 2/$40 deal!) / Target White Vest (old, similar here) / American Eagle Black Shorts (on sale, also loving this leather pair) / Steve Madden Quilted Sneakers / Vintage Black Sunnies (similar here for less than $10)
I have always had a soft spot for a black and white combo, and stripes embody that simple perfection seamlessly (literally). The vest over top adds a contrast and put-together feel to an other wise simple, monochromatic look which explains why I wear it and other vests so often with more comfortable looks. I should also mention that when I first found this top, I instantly feel in love. The oversized fit was exactly what I had been looking for because it creates more of that Boy-Meets-Girl feeling that I've been drawn to lately. I just love a classic black and white look and I can't wait to wear this one and versions of it throughout Fall.
