Elements of Emily’s Outfit
1. Patchwork Skirt
If you read my previous post about Sasha and her patchwork jeans and didn’t think you needed the trend in your wardrobe, maybe Emily’s patchwork skirt will convince you to try it!
Pairing her skirt with a simple white t-shirt, Emily demonstrates how easy it is to dress down a statement piece and create a balanced look.
2. Sparkly Shoes
Like her idol Carrie Bradshaw, Emily also has an obsession with shoes and clearly has a fantastic collection. These pink sparkly kicks are comfortable for a long day of running around campus and show off her fun personality.
3. Skull Bag
Emily’s gorgeous black leather bag is made even cooler by the skull that’s on it, and if you look carefully, you’ll notice it even has a crystal on its tooth!
It is not uncommon for a New Yorker to be spotted wearing something black, but Emily again mixes it up with this bag’s subtly edgy design.
Do you think Emily slayed it?
