Tulip Louise: For a minute, I’ve been obsessed with the unexpected pairing of a frothy tulle ballerina skirt plus a touch of {faux} leather thrown into the mix. It feels very updated-material-girl. Everything seems right in the world when I’m wearing a balance of feminine and edgy, so this look definitely made me happy!
A Piece of Toast: As a teacher, I (Sally) dress to reflect my personal style while wearing things that are classroom appropriate. This look says a lot about my signature style – classic with a twist. Both my sister Molly (who snapped these shots) and I are obsessed with white shirts and this one I wear year round. Molly wears all kinds of heels to work but since I’m on my feet all day flats are my go-to, and these nude ballerinas go with everything and never go out of style. I like simple but not boring jewelry – and a dainty necklace, everyday rings and a men’s style watch perfectly complement these non-traditional hoops. Hoops are the most versatile earrings a girl can have! I’ve been keeping this pair stored safely in my handbag so I can throw them on when my look needs to go to that next level.
Truth be told, the inspiration for this outfit came from one of my style icons: Olivia Palermo. She’s the queen of mixing high and low pieces and never looks like she is trying too hard. I spotted her in a similar maxi skirt and top so I attempted to pull off the look myself. Tip: Wear the blouse tucked in at work and tie it up in a loose knot for an instant change that’s fun for dinner and drinks.
The Vote is in and you all agree that, while it was a tough call, A Piece of Toast styled the Gorjana earrings best. Congrats to our lucky winners, Melissa S. and Mary B.!
