Anywho, I received my Victoria's Secret "We ♥ Winter" catalog in the mail the other day and finally had some time to flip through it this morning with my coffee. Not too far in (on page 7), Erin Heatherton is pictured in a button-up and this really pretty sequin mini. And just then, a light bulb went off– "Carly Cristman!!", I thought. To explain my wild train of thought: when I saw the skirt, I immediately thought of the shorts from Carly's Style Diary, 8-18-11.
Routing back to the skirt– I thought it would make a lovely contribution to an outfit for the Holidays… and, so to not copy Carly's approach of pairing a neutral with the embellished bottoms (which is certainly tasteful and classy), why not develop a different look? Maybe one that's inspired by vintage sapphire and diamond jewelry… Without further adieu, the outfit:
Top: LOFT Dolman Sleeve Cowl Neck Sweater in Vintage Blue, $49.50 (*Online exclusive)
Skirt: Victoria's Secret Sequin Mini-Skirt in Champagne, $98
Legwear: TopShop Seam Back Tights in Nude, $14
Shoes: TopShop Strut Metal Heel Platform in Navy Blue, $130(Or, compliment the black seam tights with a more cost-effective shoe like these: ALDO Capecoral Pump in Black Patent, $80.)
Total Cost of this Outfit: $311.50 (Or, $261.50 with the less expensive shoe).
Styling notes
I figured so long as we were building this look from the VS skirt, we might as well stay in-theme and take inspiration from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's old Hollywood side-swept waves. To finish the look, a jewel-toned eye by Tiffany D would be gorg! *Maybe swap the teal waterline for a champagne or gold liner? (For the tutorial, visit her vlog.)
What do you think? Holiday approved?
