Luck Be A Lady

 Top/jacket: Zara (similar), Skirt: Thrifted, Heels: Zara, Accessories: Karen Walker sunglasses, H&M faux fur collar (similar), Forever 21 leopard belt, La Mer x Target leopard print wrap watch, J.Crew crystal bracelet, Anthropologie ring, bombom dainty ring (c/o), 3.1 Phillip Lim bag

I don't consider myself much of a lady but, I sure love to dress like one sometimes. This is the closest I'll ever really be since I'm not very preppy (or classic or feminine) in my style (though I like to incorporate elements of each into my attire). 

I'm still loving the peplum silhouette and that means I'm still holding on to this lovely top/jacket from Zara. It seemed like a nice fit over this wool skirt that seriously still reminds me of my second-grade teacher who dressed in a wool skirt and turtleneck practically everyday (or so it seemed like she did). She was always so proper. It's funny how certain items can bring back specific memories.

I love this outfit! I don't think I would have ever thought to use such a slim belt with a shirt like this, but the end result is so delicately magical that now I think I will! Great job =]

I love that skirt! The buttons down the front are so cute and the whole looks is so classy with the stripes and fur. I don't even know if I have a fashion "category". I seem to fall all over the map. Maybe that's okay! :) <3

What a pretty outfit! You definitely look very lady-like. I'm still loving peplum and wear that top all of the time. Love how you added a fur collar to it. I'll definitely have to do that.
