Easy Elegance: Fancy Metallic Pleats

in outfits, what i'm wearing

It’s been a bit gloomy in Chicago the past two weeks, so the very first day that I awoke to a sun-streaked sky, I jumped on the opportunity to ditch my rainy-day duds for some fancy metallic pleats.

Lately, this vintage maxi has been my go-to for easy elegance — with an added element of edge, of course… be it through a touch of neon or a cropped leather jacket. How should I style it next?

I absolutely love that dress which you’ve used as a top - It looks so great with that neon necklace on top :D

Really?! I got some looks from street-goers, but I guess that translates to stylish, right? Thank you! I love it, too! ;)

I have been obsessing over the Ann Taylor neon necklace. Very cute!

Thank you! I LOVE it — too bad it’s sold out online, but if you call them they can usually locate one in-store and ship it to you. :)

Thanks Jessica :) I love it - except for the fact that it’s a slight occupational hazard. Oh, well!
