Sometimes when you center your outfit around a new pair of heels, the rest of the outfit just follows. That is partially true for this outfit, but I also took my outfit inspiration from one of my older blog posts.
This floral print top from Forever 21 has been around since I was college student on a budget, and I made my way through thrift store after thrift store looking for some cute clothes without breaking the bank. I found this top and remember that it was only $3. I liked the print, there were no stains, and it was missing a button, but I didn’t care. I figured I could always replace the buttons (but I never did.)
It’s still been in my closet rotation, and the last time I wore it was during my trip to Japan 2 years ago. The only way I had been wearing it was by pairing it with a red high waist skirt. This top has more potential, and even though I paired it with another red skirt, the midi length makes it office appropriate. I love my Express midi skirt just a little bit more than the short high waist skirt because it has pockets and it is pretty classic.
A lot of the items in this post are not new, which I love about this outfit. Being able to combine items into different outfits still gives me more satisfaction than wearing an entirely new outfit. That’s a totally different story when it comes to shoes. I bought these beauties recently from Les Nouvelles because they were on sale. I discovered Loeffler Randall through this site and lately have been pretty obsessed with all Loeffler Randall heels (so much so that now I own 3 pairs!) I am a fan of the short heel size and love the scalloped edges.
I felt like my look is something a grade school teacher might wear. I feel if that’s what I did for a living, I would pretty happy being in these heels all day.
Hope you are having a great week and until next time,
