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?

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 🙂

Lovely! I have a thing for pleated skirts, but they can be so unflattering in the butt area. This is a great alternative!
Great neutral colors and I love the details on the shirt!

You have a 10/10 figure! not many people would be able to pull off a pencil skirt like that! just stunning
random but I'm so glad you said subconsciously and not unconsciously. I can't stand when people do that. and you already know I love your outfit.
