One of the few things I picked up in the ASOS Curve sale was this asymmetric tutu skirt that I had been eyeing. I’ve been searching for a tea length black tulle skirt but until I get my hands on it, this skirt will have to do. I’m not too fond of the asymmetric part of it because I think it needs to be more dramatic. As of now, the hem simply looks like it was cut crooked, there needs to be more of a difference between the lengths. Regardless, it fills a void in my wardrobe and I’m sure I’ll be wearing it often. The blazer is one that I’ve had forever, I scored it from the thrift store a few years ago and I’m wearing a simple white Hanes t-shirt. The necklace is one that I picked up from H&M in San Francisco back in 2009, it’s copper colored and kind of heavy. I don’t wear necklaces that often but this one was begging to be worn with this black and white ensemble.

When I initially went through to select my top eight shows of the s/s11 season, Jil Sander was not included. While I always look forward to what Raf Simons does, upon first glance this collection seemed to be too much. However, months later I find myself constantly referring to it when putting together outfits and Springtime wishlists. While I’ll never wear all of the colors in the collection, I’m slowly warming up to the idea of incorporating small pops of bright colors into my wardrobe for Spring in the form of accessories (namely these Fendi sunglasses) and sheer shirts. I’ve been scouring eBay as well as my local thrift store to get my hands on a few for very little money.
Besides the robust color palette, the sheer volume of some of the dresses and skirts have definitely caught my attention. I’m all about playing with shapes, volume and proportion so I’m definitely thinking of how to incorporate that into my style. Lastly, I love love love the contrast between a simple white t-shirt with that of a more formal gown length skirt, which I also have been on the hunt for lately. Funny that I ignored this collection and now I realize that everything I’m looking to do with my Spring wardrobe was featured in it. So basically Raf is a genius.
This outfit consists of three wardrobe favorites that I wear quite often on their own. After becoming frustrated with trying to find something to wear, I just threw these on together with no idea how they’d look together. Because the skirt is so full and the shirt is quite oversized, I wasn’t sure if it would work. However, once I had a quick glance in the mirror, I actually really liked the outcome. I look like a gawth mormon with her swag on a hundred thousand trillion (© kanye) and I’m okay with that.
