Before fashion became a subject of study for me, I thought you needed money to look good. Silly me and my virgin years of fast fashion. The second I embraced Zara and Forever 21, to be that specific, my life and sense of style were completely renewed. If you look around, people have been purchasing more and more cheap clothing, be that because of the economy or just a change of course. The bottom line is that fast fashion is here to stay. It is no wonder so many brands and style icons have partnered with H&M, such as Karl Lagerfeld, Robert Cavalli and even Beyoncé.
Did you catch the Topshop Unique fall 2015 runway show? The front row of the audience had as many A-listers as any couture label would. Alexa Chung, Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne were just a few of the celebrities present. Dovetailing off of that, my entire outfit is fast fashion, except for the navy blue J.Crew T-shirt. The jacket is Forever 21 and skirt and sandals are Zara. I was not kidding about my love for those two brands.
You can tell by the lack of pattern and print in the outfit that my style is classic. I also like to prioritize comfort, especially for work, as was the case for this outfit. Low platform sandals are a go-to staple and a long skirt is an overall safe bet. Furthermore, the jacket played a key role in giving some edge to an otherwise very girly look.
Get My Look: 1. A biker jacket. 2. A midi skirt. 3. A pair of comfortable platform sandals.
