Funky Academichic
I love doing a “three piece” outfit especially when I can make it an unexpected combination. That’s how this outfit came about. I looked around for the wildest possible pairing for this pretty classic and preppy J. Crew vest and the abstract animal print Phillip Lim x Target slouchy blazer seemed to fit the bill quite well. And the combo paid off! Loved this outfit.
Stripes!
I decided to pair these two pieces because I liked the juxtaposition of the vertical stripes on the skirt and the horizontal ones on the vest, neither of which is your “typical” stripe. Plus, the colours are complimentary. So two pretty random pieces ended up working surprisingly well together.
Underground Accountant
Someone on IG commented that this outfit looked like something a Prohibition-era underground accountant would wear and … honestly, I kinda love that. Even though I’m generally a teetotaller 😉 This dress calls for a statement belt and this harness is definitely that. So, of course, they work well together.
Funky academichic is awesome.
