Classic









top: tinley road (available here )// skirt: urban outfitters ( available here  )// shoes: shoemint// sunnies: prada (available here // clutch: kate spade (outlet, loving this one )// jewels: stella & dot
photos by the amazing molly stillman

I'm sure by now you guys have come to know me for my crazy prints and funky silhouettes (and crazy faces for that matter...not sure what's going on with the Elvis lip in these shots!).....but some mornings I wake up and I just want to go with classic black and white. But if I'm going to take that route I'm going to do it in full on (faux) leather and some seriously chic heels...and I had to add a little bit of Brooke to the outfit with a fun pop of color. And I understand the irony of this post considering it snowed in NC last night....but on Sunday when Molly and I shot this it was 76 outside....ps we MAY or may not have trespassed to get these shots.....happy weekend skrillas :)
PS today is the last day to enter the Stella & Dot Suzanne Cocktail ring giveaway here

And in case you missed an outfit this week......

    I love leather AND peplum, gorgeous. My entire wardrobe used to consist of red and black until somebody called me out. I still think its such a classic look though. Of course you make it edgy! LOVE

    I love the black & white combo!!! I love how you paired the black leather peplum with the black leather skirt---I've seen other bloggers do this and didn't like it but on you, it just totally works! And those shoes...amazing! And of course, you already know I love the white frames!

    I have that leather peplum top and love it!
    I also love how you paired that cute tee with that pretty mint skirt - I have to many dressy skirts that I think end up looking too cute, so that's a perfect way to dress it down :)
    I've been following you on Insta and I'm glad I found you here, too!
