The Midi Skirt

(Aritzia skirt + belt, H&M sweater, Dolce Vita shoes, vintage bag + necklace, thrifted bracelet)

Toronto was graced with some lovely Spring-like weather today, and my (recently purchased) three-quarter length skirt was more than appropriate. This skirt is a pretty little number that I picked up from Aritzia, and at such a great price that was impossible to pass up. The midi skirt is a piece that can easily be worn any season. During the colder seasons, opt for a fun pair of socks or tights -- I kept it basic with black socks for today to compliment my super soft black sweater from H&M. The skirt has such a lovely, subtle leopard print with an earthy colour palette, which I love. I then played off the earth tones from my skirt and decided to throw on my favourite pair of neutral daytime shoes, which are the Jamison booties by Dolce Vita. And finally, I decided that a little splash of extra colour would come from one of my favourite vintage bags. It has such unique character to it, especially in shape and colour. The burnt orange was a great pop of colour while still keeping in-tune with the other earth tones in the outfit.

P.S. I just entered myself into:
