Model Off-Duty Status
Not only does the next look contain multiple timeless staples, it’s also fall-approved! On its own, Jorts have a reputation when it comes to being accompanied with anything far from summer. But, from first hand experience, Jackets, Blazers and all things in between are a major key when achieving a night out look. Taking a ‘Model Off Duty’ turn, partnering a soft knit tank with an oversized leather blazer aids in delivering a sleek silhouette. For shoes, you can never go wrong with a solid blown pump – a quintessential item for elegance. To finalize with accessories, a dainty pearl earring and bicolored claw clip is too good to miss for some stylish basics. And of course, add a complimentary mini-bag as the ultimate wardrobe booster.
