Day 13/30: Easy Way Out

Saturday, June 25, 2011

I walked down four flights of stairs only to see a sign that says the door is broken. Instead of finding my way back through another door to take pictures outside, I got lazy and propped up my tripod in this semi-dark-and-creepy alley below the staircase. Kind of fitting for an unintentional Halloween-themed outfit?

necklace: Ann Taylor (eBay; similar)
dress as top: Forever 21 (similar - sleeveless)
top (bottom layer): H&M via Elle's giveaway
belt: Express (similar)
skirt: Forever 21 (currently sold here)

  5. I didn't think Halloween at all! I saw everyone's tweets about that skirt I'm loving the colour but I think it might be too short for me to pull off - especially for work. Although for the next time I visit Florida it would be perfect!

  6. Interesting, I always thought that skirt was red, not orange, but either way, it looks so good on you!

  7. @Callandra, @purses and puppies - Hahaha, I didn't start thinking of the Halloween theme until I realized that all I've been using were black accessories!

    @kileen - I have to give you major props because I don't think you repeat locations, right?! AND you take pictures everyday. All your hard work is paying off because your photos are beautiful :)

    @Elaine A (TOBeautyReviews) - The skirt is definitely too short for the office :( I only wear it on weekends... but perhaps you can get away with it since you're a few inches shorter than me? Worth a try :)

  9. this would be Halloween-y if there were such a thing as elegant H-ween parties. thankfully, you look too put together and chic to be scary!

    adorable outfit, and i'm absolutely coveting that scalloped skirt.

  15. I don't think it's Halloween-esque at all! I think the colors work gorgeously together! I just saw a Max Azria dress that uses this exact color combo and I was thinking of recreating it:
