Skirt: Zara, Sweater: Gap, Coat: Bloomingdales (similar here), Necklace: Baublebar,

Heels: Zara

I wore this black, white and gray ensemble to a photography studio’s open house a few days ago.  I started with the leather skirt as my beginning ‘palette’ and worked the rest of the outfit in, focusing on the skirt as the centerpiece.  I love how the mix of a classic sweater matches so well with the edgier (and short!) leather skirt.  It was cold that night (probably not the right evening to have worn the short skirt, but well worth it) so I tacked on the coat.  Love this checkered coat – and it keeps with the classic style.
