How-To: Wear a Uniform

This look reminds me of a totally funked up version of my grade school uniform. Loafers? Check. But this time, they're in a cool, orange metallic. Sweater over a button down, of course. But the sweater has a cool applique on it with layers upon layers of stacked bracelets and necklaces to punk things up. And that skirt. Instead of my pleated, plaid version, this pencil skirt comes in a textured, near-ribbon fabric that is so flattering and intriguing. It is matchy-matchy in a way that still makes me want to wear it all together--and steal the look right from her! It's uniform dressing done right and I love the way it looks.
