poodles and pleather

{Asos blazer, LC top, Ark & Co skirt, Ash shoes, Zara bag, Urban Outfitters watch, J. Crew bracelet, What Vanessa Does necklace, Milani nail polish- Beach Front}

In real life this outfit translates so much more beautiful than it does in photos- it's a bit stiff- well, as most photographs are. But when I wore this to dinner, I felt a bit like a ballerina- the top knot, the lilac colored top, pretty skirt. I generally enjoy a more structured fit, so I was a bit unsure of the overall flowi-ness of this look, but the pleather pleats on the skirt were a good contrast of structure, and tough girl meets chic, not too overly girly!
