oh hello zebra print.
animal print is SO IN right now especially in the midi skirt style. which you know it means iām ALL IN. yāall, the midi is MY JAM!! while iām not a huge animal print lover, iām really drawn to all the new midi satin/flowy styles coming out ā slightly fitted a top with a small flare at the bottom. now iām mainly a pleated midi fan, but i am loving these new types of skirts because theyāre less dressier = more plain which isnāt a bad thing at all! these types of skirts can be worn both casually and dressy. i thought iād venture out from my go-to animal print (leopard print) to zebra print. no regrets! unfortunately this skirt isnāt lined and it is a pull on style but they werenāt a deal breaker. here are a few quick tips on wearing these midi flowy skirts:
casual style: with a tee, button down knotted in the front, or a slouchy sweater and white sneakers
dressy style: off the shoulder top/one shoulder and chunky heels; i can even see a bodysuit too
always tuck or front tuck the top into these skirts to really show off that waistline and polish your look
go for a high waisted skirt to accentuate that waistline and it goes with the classy style of the skirt
drape with a moto jacket or denim jacket
and yes, there are sales associates in the store laughing at me. haha, a day in life of JD. seriously, the things i do for the GRAM. itās nuts. not to mention all the embarrassing stories that have happened :D but iāve learned that the best way to overcome all that is to LAUGH! i used to be more self conscious about taking photos in public but now i donāt care as much. over the years iāve gained the confidence to āwork the cameraā and lemme tell you it aināt easy. itās no biggie with people walking, people laughing and whistling, cars driving by, people honking haha. #goodtimes but seriously, props to real models.
