Challenge: “Spinning the Favorite”
Many times
we settle with a style and rarely venture out to explore new ways to
piece clothes and style outfits in new and different ways. With this
month, I’m hoping for all of us to venture out of our comfort zones to
expand our styling skills. Thus, the
challenge will be to take a “go-to” outfit, put a spin on it by styling
it in a different way but still keeping a couple of essential
components.
One of my classic outfits is the fitted top paired with a slim-fitting pencil skirt. It’s a timeless style that always looks put together! For the challenge, I decided to put a spin on the look by adding a lace top over everything. I just can’t get enough of lace this season but it can definitely be a tricky item to make work appropriate. I think by adding the lace on top of an existing classic ensemble totally makes it work!
Don’t forget to head on over to Gracie’s blog to check out the rest of the PFC #8 entries!
P.S. I am still on vacation until June 18. But stay tuned as I will post honeymoon pictures once I get back!

Love the colour of your skirt! This is pretty similar to the outfit for 30×30 that Elle wore this week! Of course, you wouldn't know that since you're away. hehe
Melissa says
Love the lace blouse layered on top. That adds an element of charm and chic and the color of the skirt under the bottom of the blouse is so fun. You look stunning!

Gorgeous as always! I need to join the color brigade! I'm currently a member in spirit! Happy honeymoon!
Gracie says
Glad you could join us while being away! Hope you're having buckets of fun!
The bright pop of color underneath the lace is a nice touch! You can see the detail of the lace a lot better and it just adds a lot of interest to the outfit.

I agree…great spin. I would never have thought to pair a lace top like that with a skirt. For me, it would always be skinny pants of some sort!

oh it's not a MAC cosmetic bag. it's a Rebecca Minkoff clutch. It's just the style is called a MAC convertible clutch. 🙂
Erin says
Great spin, Kileen! That is a really nice way to wear lace. I agree that it's tricky to make it work-appropriate, but you definitely achieved that here. Hope you are having a great honeymoon 🙂
