Fashion Stairs

Here’s an outfit that I wore to an impromptu meeting not long ago. I was in the mood for pleats and had the chance to showcase the special bib detail wearing this shirt, which also has an iridescent and satin luster.

I knew that I wanted to wear the shirt regardless, and decided to forgo the trousers that I had initially planned to wear. On days like this solids just seemed to work best for the occasion. Although, I decided to don a mini stripe with the skirt the whole outfit had a pleasing effect to me because of the layering of pleats on the shirt.

For some reason I always think of stairs when I wear this shirt. I believe my inspiration was subconsciously a staircase even for this look! Imagine, the skirt as the custom posts and my shirt representing the actual stairs, perhaps heightened in a spiraling fashion upheld by the woven stripes as support.

Subtle embellishments: I added colour blocked heels to finish the look. It was a nice welcome to fall, with a peek-a-boo open-toe end of summer lingering balance.

I hope your week has been going well so far. Is it me or does each week and month seem to breeze by rather speedily these days?

The goods: Cream pencil skirt-Antonio Melani, Pleated shirt-Benetton, Colour blocked wedges-Chinese Laundry

    That skirt had an amazing cut and you wear it beautifully.
    I had not seen a white that fit so well in a long time 🙂

    Thank you Marissa! And yes, I agree some times pleats can be unpleasing to the figure, though it's all about the placement of them. Glad that I chose a shirt this time! xo
