In light of last week's post about Alexa Chung-ing and Monday's lady-centric feature, it feels like the time is right to divulge some of my recent babespirations as we head into fall. One of the biggest things on my mind right now is the skirt: how to wear it and what to wear it with. Layered? By itself? A t-shirt? A button-up? To make a long story short, I want to look like Saskia in this month's Vogue Paris:
I mean, hot damn. Amiright? And that blonde buzz! Oof. It looks like the "skirt" she's wearing in the lefthand picture is actually a slip that's folded down—a whole new world! And three cheers for her makeshift charpet underneath those overalls, mmm. But in all seriousness, the muted color palette and simple lines of this look paired with that chunky boot—it's the perfect unisex ensemble! The only thing maybe more perfecter is Yara Flynn's outfit (via Garance Doré):
This just screams, "My Fall Look" to me, and not just because I wore something very similar last winter. All of the different elements here are really versatile and basic—again with the muted color palette and the clean lines, though I guess the kilty-ness of the pleats and and the oxfords make this look a little more #menswear-y. I could really get into this as a sans-leggings option.
Of course, I have even more faux leather leggings in my closet than we've heretofore seen, and they need some time to shine. That's where the above options come in. I love the wrap skirt with those big pockets, it's so apron-y and kind of utilitarian, but IDK where to get it so I found two other pieces I love for layering.
1) This mesh knit Jacquemus skirt from the incredible last collection, "La Piscine." I could see myself wearing basically every piece from this collection, #tbh.
2) This AllSaints black leather mini. It's really tiny and super simple (but also overpriced as balls) and would look awesome layered over leggings—or maybe even pants? Non, too outrageous.
