Oxford is Calling

Our "Inspiration Outfit"!







 The inspiration for today's outfit is this picture. I love this outfit because you take classic wardrobe staples and put them together in an unexpected way. The shirt is a menswear piece, but you pair it with a full skirt that is the epitome of femininity. This look is so classy and elegant in an effortless way.Another part that I love about it is that it can work for any situation- school, date, casual, dressy, and even sister missionary.










So let's break it down!

Sing it girl...










The Top
It starts with the shirt. The one in the picture is an oxford button up shirt, with a white club collar. I found this one that is similar and I actually think is cuter! Also- best news ever, it is on a mega sale at Macy's today. Find it here for $33.99 today only!








The Bottom
The next step is the Skirt. The "inspiration picture" has a high-waisted cream skirt, but I decided to update the look. Why not pair your tops with a light, breezy tulle skirt? I love the wide waistband on this beauty from Shabby Apple. It is wide enough that is will define your waist and show off your figure even though you are wearing a full skirt. Also a tip for those petite ladies out there- wear skirts that are high waisted. They make you look taller and leaner! This is something to take advantage of especially if you need a skirt that is sister missionary length.  You can get this tulle skirt from Here for $78.99. However I get that might be a bit pricey, so you can make this skirt for a fraction of the cost with this tutorial here.  


Accessories

Last but not least, top this outfit off with some accessories!


Find this here for $32


Look 1: Classy


Opening up your shirt's first two buttons provides a perfect frame for your necklace. Once you slide on a string of pearls, they can flirtatiously peek out whenever you move.

Sporting retro waves
is always a good choice.

To finish off your ensemble,
pair some nude cap toe heels for an

or any special occasion.
