Fuchsia Pleats, Leopard Belt, and J.Crew Jewels

I was lucky to have my gorgeous friend Liza, who I introduced in a previous post, Leopard accents and fur vest, model for me again. If you were wondering, her hair actually looks like this on a daily basis. 

This outfit reminds me of something Blaire Edie from Atlantic-Pacific might wear. The long pleated skirt mixed with a black and white striped shirt brings an everyday elegance. Since leopard is after all the new neutral, my friend Liza and I pulled the outfit together with a skinny leopard belt. We completed the look with the amazing Jcrew flower lattice statement necklace.

I love when the details of an outfit make the outfit.

I honestly believe leopard and stripes should become a classic combo. I am still warming up to the nude heels, but they did serve as the perfect finish to this slightly busy look.
