So I Survived....

**Check out my movie review on Valentine's Day. Also stay tuned I'll be doing more "fashion editorial" & "lookbook" inspired shoots this summer, and probably a slideshow. If you have any fun ideas, comments, criticism or feedback post on the facebook page.

Dear readers, I apologize in advance for my hiatus. University exams are CRAZY. I.e. becoming a hermit in sweatpants studying until your brain bleeds. So glad that's over. This is an outfit I wore recently to go out to celebrate a family birthday. I think I can admire each piece for itself. The bad-ass leather skirt with black tights, the comfy sweater and the cute shirt. I think the contrast is just really appealing to the eye. I also think it's an approachable look. The long sweater is a comfortable staple that most of us probably have in our closets, any cardigan/sweater will do paired with any t-shirt. I was really inspired by the leather shorts that Ashley Greene is wearing, so I mimicked it with the leather (ok vinyl) skirt that I had.

If your not comfortable or daring enough to rock the leather short or mini you can do the same look with denim cutoffs. I think my whole thing with this outfit was that I loved the idea of something short with something long. It's an interesting proportion, so try pairing a long cardigan with denim cuttoffs. It will make for a great look this summer, hence my summer vacay officially starts now.
