…to the Memphis Fashion Week VIP preview party (warning: picture heavy post). My style plan was to make a subtle statement with this Anthropologie skirt I ran across while browsing Pinterest a while ago.
Saidia Pencil Skirt. Love the tribal print! (Source: Anthropologie.com)
I had been absolutely DYING over it!! It finally went on sale and I stalked found it in Dallas, TX this past summer. The Memphis Fashion Week preview party was the perfect reason to finally break it out. I paired it with a chambray shirt (like the model) for a slightly relaxed yet chic look.
This skirt was very fitted and I had some serious bum insecurities, but I stepped out of my comfort zone with a full tuck. I played with neutral and black accessories to see which set packed the most punch.
Style File: Skirt ~ Anthropologie; Chambray shirt (old) ~ Old Navy; Nude Patent Pumps ~ Nine West; Clutch ~ Kate Spade
Manicure ~ CND Vinlylux ‘Mint Convertible’
I settled on neutral and gold accessories so that my skirt could stand out and grab the attention. Simple gold hoops and a hammered gold ring completed the look and I was ready for the mixing and mingling fun with Memphis’ fashion community. The preview party was held at Wiseacre brewery and gave VIP ticket holders the chance to meet the models, designers, and get a sneak peek of some of the fashions.

The butter cookies were sinful and worth every minute of the T25 I’ll have to do to work them off!!!!

There were fun times had by all, and I said all of that to say…According to Q, a tribal print (or any print for that matter) can be stylishly taken up a notch with the closet MVP chambray shirt! Wear a full tuck, half tuck, whichever way you like, just have fun with it!
