ABC's

I love looking at fashion spreads, campaigns, and blogs and seeing the way someone wears something in a way I would have never thought to. When you look at a brand and see the attitude and lifestyle that they portray, it is only natural to mimic them and wear it in the same way. Something as simple as reversing a dress so the zipper in the front can totally change up a look and bring a little more interest.

The last time I went to LA, the Generation girls were sweet enough to gift me the pictured affirmation (letter) denim cropped jacket. I absolutely loved it and wanted to wear it to work but when I first saw it I figured it would only be able to work for a casual Friday outfit or a relaxed weekend outfit, instead of what I have to wear on a typical work day. But I decided to force it and wear it with a high waisted black pencil skirt and Brian Atwood metallic python heels (similar) - Both of which don't exactly scream Generation girl but it ended up looking cute and a great bonus that I could wear Generation during market appointments when I was showing their accessory lines to customers.

 

 

 

Tulip Skirts and Sheer Shirts

You can never go wrong with the classic Black and Red combo. I found this adorable flared red tulip skirt at Zara a while back and I've since seen the same cut in other patterns there so it must've been popular. Here are a couple red mini skirt options from ASOS: option1 option2

 

You can't really see it from the first picture but I paired it with a sheer long bell sleeve top with black embroidery detail which is much more visible in the second picture. The top was also a Zara find. Since I wore this to work (ha) I wore a black tank top underneath the sheer shirt so that it wasn't too risque. Here is a similar top in white. And here is another black lace option

 

 

I added this cute C. Wonder Leopard Wrap Bracelet with gold stud bracelet - and once again my Jennifer Zeuner Evil Eye Bracelet. Heres the same size for the C Wonder bracelet in python & here is another C Wonder Leopard option

 

The rest of the outfit details are standard black opaque tights which can be purchased anywhere and then basic black leather wedges from Aldo. Here is a suede version from ASOS
