Skirt: Etsy | Top: ELOQUII (14) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (on sale!) | Shoes: ASOS (similar) | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban | Earrings: Baublebar | Lipstick: L'Oreal ‘Eva's Red'

Long time readers of the blog may recognize this skirt; I purchased it back in 2013 and each summer it's a regular wear. I wore it with a crisp white shirt, I've worn it with a Ramones tee, I've even worn it in a canoe.  In the cooler months I've paired it with a fitted black turtleneck sweater as well as a denim shirt tied at the waist.

I saw this top at ELOQUII and immediately thought it would look great with my maxi Ankara skirt but it felt very heavy and wintry.  Pairing it with a shorter skirt was more appropriate to the season.  This top is super cool, the sleeves are utterly amazing.  I think it would look great with high-waisted jeans or pants, and think it's a cool way to add sleeves to a fit and flare dress.  Why stick to cardigans and denim jackets; a wrap top over the dress gives a completely different effect!

A print like this begs to be partnered with more print.  This Rebecca Minkoff clutch is such a cool pattern; the fabric is flocked and there's a zipper edge so there's interest with texture as well.  And well, how could I not wear these fun yellow tassel earrings?  I never thought when I bought yellow earrings that I would find so many outfits to pair them with.  I wore this look last Wednesday when I met some fashionable friends in the city for dinner.  It was breezy and festive, perfect for the evening!
