In fashion, I love the juxtaposition of sweet versus edgy. That’s why I pulled together this look, mixing sweet, girly classics like preppy collars, polka dots, and pink frills with edgy components.The shirt is also a little sheer, and I played that up by pairing a black tank under the nude top to add to the edgy factor.
The pleated schoolgirl skirt breaks the rules because of the high hemline and “leatherette” material.
I’ve also been obsessed with mixing prints lately, and love pairing these pointy-toe snakeskin printed shoes from C. Wonder in unexpected ways. I think they add a style statement to the look making it less “safe” by mixing it with the polka dots and pleats, and the neutral color definitely helps. Together, it all works!
