Lately, my go-to summer outfit has consisted of a midi length skirt and a simple crop top. I love this pairing because it’s comfortable, keeps me cool on those steamy days and always looks put together. However, I’m constantly hunting for ways to mix it up! To keep things fresh, I’ve been trying to incorporate a pop of color, a stand-out pattern or a unique silhouette into these skirt and crop top combinations.
The Michael Kors spring 2015 ready-to-wear collection is bursting with inspiration for these unique ensembles. I love this line because there are countless skirts, dresses and crop tops that feature eye-catching floral patterns that are perfect for this time of the year. The many bright white garments pair well with the summery floral motifs, and the shades of yellow, blue and pink just scream summertime. Overall, I admire the bright, cheerful nature of this collection. The vibe is sweet, innocent and fabulously girly, while the modern cuts, plunging necklines and lacey floral fabrics give the collection a bit of edge and maturity.
From beginning to end, I love how flirty and feminine this collection is, so I decided to take my own spin on it. I admire the white midi skirts that feature flower appliqués and motifs, so I slipped on a white midi skirt of my own. My Topshop skirt possesses a jacquard fabric with a leaf motif, layers of tulle to provide volume and an asymmetrical hem for a unique touch and bit of edge. (It also has pockets—one of my all-time favorite features of skirts and dresses!) My favorite floral prints from the show are those with small white flowers, so I added a light wash denim crop top with a similar floral print. I love how the tie gives the look a more casual vibe. To balance everything out and provide myself some height, I added a pair of simple nude heels.
This Michael Kors collection helped me to create a stand-out, girly outfit that I will be wearing all season long. My advice to all of you Fashionistas/os out there is to find bold, eye-catching pieces to incorporate into your looks to create your own show-stopping outfit!
Get My Look: 1. Any floral crop top. 2. A white midi skirt. 3. A pair of neutral-colored heels or sandals.
