Sometimes inspiration comes from the most random details. Like the other day, I was driving to work and saw a woman on the street wearing cobalt and black together and I loved it. Seems so simple but I was pretty sure I had never tried it.
Fortunately for me and my very colorful wardrobe, I had the cobalt J. Crew skirt you see below (it's old, but I just picked up this style in two colors - or splurge on this lookalike) and had just picked up this sheer plaid top at the Topshop sale for just 20 bucks. I also had a really fun black feather necklace on from H&M, but once we tried to photograph it outside the wind blew the feathers straight into my face until I had enough and just took it off. It only made it into the first photo. Ah, the joys of the windy city.
If you are looking for a pleated skirt for the summer, try these out. I'm loving this one that is a lookalike of the one I missed out on at Zara. This striped one here is to die for too!
