Skirt: Forever 21 Striped Bodycon Skirt (shrunk 1x thru dryer) – M / $6.50 (buy)
Watch: Michael Kors “Small Runway” Rose Gold (MK5430) – $127 (buy)
There’s nothing like some stripes and baubles to start off the work week! I kept it easy and paired up a loose top with this slim-fitting pencil skirt. But just so it didn’t look too casual, I glammed it up with a statement pearl necklace. It’s hard to tell but this necklace actually had huge crystal diamonds in the innermost layer {see in this outfit}. Since it was a little much for just going to the office, I instead wore this necklace backwards and just had little tarnished silver pieces showing instead. Surprisingly enough, nobody could tell and it totally worked!

I can't believe it never donned to me to throw the body-con skirts into the dryer since the small is too small and the medium is too big! CRAZy!
I love that dusty rose shade of your button down – so gorgeous, and the striped mini is adorable.
oh yes, it works like a charm!! the medium was too big but after one spin in the dryer, it fit pretty well {i still had to use a belt but you couldn't tell}. 🙂
Love this look on you Kileen! The skirt and blouse balance each other out perfectly!
