The Right Proportions
I have finally styled this voluminous top right! Remember the last two time I wore it? Once with my flared trousers, flats, and a blazer HERE and the other more recently with wide legged slacks and a cardigan HERE. The last time I wore it I mused about the proportions being off. I though adding a heel and some skinnies would make the outfit work. I was totally right! Take a look:
I think it works. I added (5 and a half inch!) gray heels, black skinnies, and a black and gray leopard print cardigan. I loved how the cobalt blue bubble necklace popped against it the last time so I wore it again.
I only stumbled once in my shoes. P.S. My boss deemed them too "stripper-y" for the office. Um...hello? I bought them in the "work attire" section of the store. Yes, they are tall. But I am SHORT!
I can't get over how long my legs look with the skinnies+heels!
Also, I have guns. JK I was fooling around for my Mom.
Outfit Summary:
Cardigan: Dots
Top: Body Central
Skinnies: Dots
Heels: Deb
Necklace: Catos
Bangle: Glitter
All of these stores are stores at the mall. Everything I am wearing in this is under $15. And I don't want to hear how mall clothes aren't quality. Take care of your clothes. Re-inforce hems if you love an item. some of these things are QUITE old!

Thank you heather! I usually try to mix it up but I think this necklace is always going to be worn with this shirt. It's too pretty NOT to!
I like the proportions in your outfit - and I personally don't find anything wrong with those pumps, especially not with pants, but your boss has a lot more say than I do, hehe!
I'm a huge fan of ruffled tops like that.....it's sooo pretty!!!!

Love everything about this! Feel like I would totally wear the same thing, from the bubble necklace and skinnies to a little ruffle for personality! Happy Monday, Ashleigh! So cute.
loving your top and necklace!!

haha too stripper? really? I think they look classy!
Thanks Rachel! Those colors just pop off each other.
Oh yes. Anything over 3 inches is "stripper-y" I told them to relax. They can laugh when I fall or trip in them!
Thanks Amy! I've been seeing looks like these and felt super inspired. I love blogs. They push me out of my boundaries.And those pumps were bought in October and sat in my closet the whole time. If I don't wear them then they are a waste of money!
That ruffled top is sooo beautiful! Love it :D

I like your stripper heels! You do look taller and cute as always!
hahahahahaha thanks Megan. Do you remember when we were like 14 and trying to learn to walk in heels instead of clomp clomp clomping?
Thanks Heana! I love it too. So feminine.
I am much happier with it paired with the skinnies! Thank you!
I think those are really cute stripper heels. You'd be a very professional looking stripper if you wore those. ;)
Hahahaha. I guess I would be. I just looked at her and was like...But they're not glitter and lucite...?
I'm happy with it. I love how flirty and feminine it is.
Thanks Sandy! It took me forever to wear this bubble necklace. They're just so BIG. But it worked out nicely!
Stripper shoes? No way! I think they're work appropriate.
