Desk to Dinner


Joie Blouse.  gifted Banana Republic Pleated Skirt.  Vince Leather Jacket.  3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel. 
Miu Miu Sunglasses.  J.Crew Necklace.  Vintage Belt.  gifted ShoeMint Heels. 

This Banana Republic accordion pleated skirt is every working girl's staple. It is flattering for all body types and can easily be transitioned from the desk to dinner with the addition of a statement necklace and leather jacket. I chose to belt my look to give it a dressed down vibe. Click on over to see how my friends Krystal (This Time Tomorrow) and Anna (See Jane) recently styled this same skirt only in different colors.


And congrats to love2shop who won the Make It You: Classic Contest with Converse / Lady Footlocker in collaboration with Polyvore! You can check out the winning set here and the top 10 finalists here! I had so much fun going through all of your entries... talk about talented and mega inspiration.
