Beige, black and a touch of animal print. That’s all it takes to create a fun fall look! This transitional utility top by Calvin Klein can easily take you from summer to fall. With that said, how would you wear it? Some people keep this style top with dress pants and pencil skirts, but I like to wear it with shorts – and in this case, black skinny jeans.
The oversized fit of the top is perfect to slightly tuck in and contrasts excellently against the solid black jeans. I broke the solids apart with a fun mohair cheetah print belt (similar), which is what really finishes the look in my opinion!
For additional accessories, I have added these exposed side booties made of faux suede in a cognac color, my favorite Henri Bendel tote, and mirrored sunnies with a faux tortoise design. All accessories offer a similar color palette therefore, they blend and complement each other very well. This is such a great casual Friday look for work or a happy hour go-to!
As the seasons begin to transition, and the school year begins I like to start pulling out my light layering pieces and over sized sweaters. The first to make an appearance this year was this pale pink number from Forever 21! I absolutely love the color and knit texture detailing. Also, I have really long arms so the fact that it has extra long sleeves is an added bonus for me!
Today I decided to pair this sweater with Calvin Klein Jeans curvy skinny jeans in a dark wash to offset the pale pink and added interest with suede grey pumps and a sparkling statement necklace from Sam Moon.
When I style an outfit that has a “statement” color (such as this pink) I like to keep my handbag simple. Here I chose my Kate Spade convertible bag which is in a classic black. If I had to describe my perfect “casual Friday” ensemble this would pretty much be it to a “T”. I like to wear something that can easily transition anywhere. The sweater creates a casual feel but the heels and dark wash denim completely dress up the look so I can feel comfortable and confident anywhere.
