Library Daze

[sweatshirt: Vintage Havana, skirt: Ann Taylor, shoes: Converse All Star, necklace: Ann Taylor, earrings: boutique]

I love mixing casual pieces with dressy elements to create a new look that's not only unexpected but also fresh. It's like creating a whole new way to look at things. Suddenly that sweatshirt you always wear with jeans, and that skirt you only wear to parties combine and crossover into each other's territories to create something original and unique to you. Gym shoes worn with a formal skirt are considered taboo by most, but it can definitely be done right, and when it is, you've got an ensemble that's versatile and surprisingly wearable. I like to think of this look as a perfect library day outfit; comfortable yet cute, with a touch of formality (because after all, you never know who you could run into)!
