Outfit Of The Yesterday: Blue + Brown + Black & White (Archi-texture)

♫: Good Intent - Kimbra

I think that the one thing I am loving most for fall 2012 is the amount of rich, supple texture that all new clothes seem to be suddenly (boldly) boasting. It isn’t the usual tweeds, wools, and bouclés for this season, oh no. The ante has been upped with suedes, snakes, sequins, leathers, hair calfs, velvets, and more–and mixing them with blouses and tops already hanging in your closet is a fun little way to give old pieces new life.

While I paired the Silence & Noise Faux Suede Pencil Skirt with an old silk Banana Republic blouse below, once the weather cools a bit more this skirt will also be easy to match up with chunky sweaters, cozy cardigans, and whatever else fits my little fancy. It’s super stretchy and comfy, too–always a great bonus, mmhm.

    Such a gorgeous, mad men-esque look! I love the length of that skirt on you! As a fellow shorty, I never feel like I can pull off longer skirts, but this is proof (some) shortys can! I agree with you on all of the rich textiles we are seeing this Fall. I’m so in love with everything!

    looking gorgeous girl. i’ve always loved how you can effortlessly pair so many rich colors & textures. lately i just stare at my clothes and end up throwing on a dress so i don’t have to look anymore! i always see cute outfits and think oh…i can totally do that but then as soon as i look in my closet…blank stare. lol

    I absolutely love the color combinations here! The cute smile of red in the midst of black/green/white is great! That Zara clutch is such a great dupe for the Valentino and looks amazing!
