Veronica Beard skirt // COS shirt (similar here) // Valentino heels // Pandora ring // Nu Evolution lip gloss

My summer uniform normally involves several pairs of cutoff Levi’s, but this year I’m really into skirts.  They’ve added a bit more pop to my everyday look and I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting with dressing them up or down.  This striped, ruffled number can go super feminine, but I wanted to pull in some masculine vibes with a banker blue button-down and power heels.  Think of it as your modern day version of Melanie Griffith’s Working Girl.

To make the skirt more casual, I’d throw on a simple cotton tank top and flat slides in a pop color.  It’d be the perfect look for a 4th of July BBQ or lunch al fresco.

The gathered ruffles flatter curvy and athletic girls alike, so I’ve linked some other options below.

Have a great 4th of July!
