Makeena looks awesome in this pulled together outfit that could go to work with you, or could just as easily transition into date night. We started with a simple black t-shirt that was from our model’s own closet. A great t-shirt that fits well, in a neutral color can always be the basis for any great ensemble. They layer under other items perfectly, and create a great backdrop for pieces that need to stand out, like this fabulous skirt from Ann Taylor Loft in a geometric print pattern. Done in lightweight cotton, it’s the perfect companion for our black tee. We topped it off with a collarless blazer in black by Anne Klein to maintain the sleek and contemporary lines of our other pieces, and complement the geometric pattern of the skirt. We accessorized with items such as bangle bracelets in black and red/silver, as well as some pearl earrings. Her shoes are the popular Mary Jane-style pumps in a burgundy color that don’t exactly match the outfit, but instead go with it. All in all this is one great, yet simply stylish look that anyone can recreate. Just start with a statement skirt, like the one shown here that you might find at Goodwill!
