beauty of branching out

I like to think of myself as a fairly practical person, which very much plays itself out in my wardrobe. I tend to migrate towards pieces that I can wear everyday, that are versatile, that I can wear both to church and on date night (follow me on instagram, and you'll see I'm obsessed with neutrals + anything oversized). The look below though, is an exception to my comfort zone staples. When I first saw this bright pink skirt, I thought it was so fun but so not my typical look. Once I had it on though, I fell in love, because practicality can only take you so far. Everyone needs their go-to look for their own birthday dinner, their best friend's bachelorette party or a trendy date night out. Sometimes I have to force myself to put down the boyfriend jeans, and branch out! Shop my look: Balmain girl jacket - Milk & Honey Boutique. Pink A-line skirt - Milk and Honey Boutique. Madewell suede booties. Michael Kors leather watchI had such a blast walking around the Bishops Arts district in Dallas with the oh-so-talented Lindsey Shea in this bright pink A-line skirt that I paired with my favorite leather jacket for the Fall season. This jacket is great because it's light weight and can either be dressed up or down. It will pair great with any piece in your wardrobe!I dressed this look down a bit with my favorite Madewell booties, since it was during the day and we were just walking around town. But a great pair of strappy heels (like these, by Dolce Vita - see them below on Lo!) would complete this outfit perfectly.What about you?
