Front to Back

Saturday, March 10, 2012

I love the draped front of my striped top, but wanted a more streamlined look today. Wearing the top backwards gives me the boatneck look in front and a slight dip in back (unfortunately hidden by the blazer for most of the day). I don't know why I haven't tried this sooner -- perhaps in fear of the tag showing? Good thing that's only an issue if you look really closely ;)

necklace: Forever 21 curb chain (similar)

blazer: H&M boyfriend (similar)

top: Gap striped cowlneck (similar)

belt: H&M skinny (similar)

ring: Forever 21 pearlescent cluster (sold here)

pants: LOFT black modern skinny (this season's sold here)

bag: Chanel M/L flap (similar; similar)

shoes: Miu Miu leather pointed toe (similar)

Hey Cee! :)

Oh! Great idea! I will start looking at some of my shirts differently now! And I love the pop of color your belt adds to the black and white!
