Little Lady

I think it's fair to say that adolescent girls (and some boys) are a bit hesitant to include knee length skirts and dresses into daily looks for fear of resembling our grandmothers. That being said I took on the challenge of knee length persuasion to induce youth with a dash of fashion forward modesty. This Gray Oscar De La Renta Skirt is perfect because it strays away from table cloth patterns that typically age skirts with longer hemlines.I saw this look as an opportunity to add a little bit of business casual to the mix with a blue MIH Jeans button up. Its important to remember to partner loose and flowy clothing with tight and structured pieces to eliminate the bag lady look. I kept the look soft with feminine accessories from Chloe' (handbag) as well as Anthropologie (headband & ring). The sparkly blue Christian Louboutins create a youthful notion that in my opinion completes the outfit quite nicely.
