Outfit Post: Throwback Thursday with Boohoo

Today, I've teamed up with Boohoo as part of their Throwback Thursday Style Icon series. Have you shopped Boohoo before? They're an amazing UK-based retailer site with tons (and I mean TONS) of affordable fashion selections. They've got everything from dresses, rompers, accessories and midi skirts. 

When I started thinking about style icons, there were a few that came to mind. But the one who stood out to me the most was, obviously SJP's character Carrie Bradshaw. I love that she takes risks and wears what she wants - something I try to to emulate in my daily wardrobe choices. Sure, maybe not everything I do works, but I enjoy playing with clothes and fashion. It's supposed to be fun! Remember that iconic outfit from the 2nd Sex and the City movie? This one:

I've always loved this outfit because of the idea of mixing casual pieces with more dressier items. It's something I do A LOT. Plus it helps stretch your clothing further. (Did you know that skirt is actually the underskirt of a Zac Posen gown? So amazing!)

So, naturally I wanted to re-create a similar style and throw it back to Carrie's amazing "Abu Dhabi Souk" outfit. 

I totally wanted to have a Carrie Bradshaw moment with this floral print midi skirt and an afternoon event I attended last Saturday was the perfect occasion. Since it started at 1:00 pm, I paired it with one of my favorite, but totally neutral, tees. This way the skirt didn't feel too dressed up for an afternoon fashion show.

Not only is this skirt oh-so #TBT Carrie Bradshaw, but the large floral print makes it perfect for spring! I can't wait to style it in several other ways. Oh and did I mention it has a matching crop top that goes with it. That too, can totally be a Carrie Bradshaw moment!

So in person, this shirt is black. The tag even said the color was "Ebony." But, after we photographed this outfit, it kind of looks navy. Which I really don't mind all that much since I'm kind of into the black-navy color combination. So let's just pretend I did it on purpose. Maybe you can help me decide if it's black or navy. 

I wore this a few weeks ago for a double date night with some friends of ours. Sometimes, I just need to wear a black-on-navy black ensemble with my new favorite color: Gold. Okay, so it's not my "new" favorite color, but I'm becoming increasingly obsessed with it. Remember when you were younger, and you were like "I'm only wearing silver jewelry." Well, that was me. And that's the thing I love about fashion. You can totally change your mind. Which I proudly do on the reg.

I also have some exciting news for local Raleigh/Durham gals! The award winning fashion documentary "Versailles 73: American Runway Revolution" is coming to town for a one night only screening. And I've been asked to participate in a panel discussion afterwards! I would LOVE to see you there. All the details can be found on the below invite or here. Tickets are now on sale and it's the perfect excuse to get dressed up with your friends and have a girls night out!

Hope to see you there! Happy Tuesday! Also hello 2015! :) xoxo
