Skirt

Inkblots for Instagram

August 3, 2021,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I love a polka dot, so mixing and matching these two prints felt inevitable. The inverted color combinations and different sized dots keep this outfit from feeling too chaotic and the yellow floral earrings add a pop of color. This has been one of my go-to outfits this summer for strolling the streets of New…Read More

Solo Spring

May 18, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

We may be spending this spring social distanced, but that’s no reason not to dress up! The further into this COVID-19 situation we get the more essential I feel it is to wear real clothes. It brings me a sense of normalcy and boosts my mood. Skirt: Goodwill, Top: Primark, Shoes: gifted Tieks, Necklace: c/o…Read More

This purple tulle skirt has just the right dose of princess without veering into childhood territory. I paired it with a black sweater because I’m already desperate for fall layers,…Read More

Tiny Tutu

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I love a good tutu, and the delicate pink color of this midi skirt is reminiscent enough of a Degas to be exciting, but conservative enough to wear in contemporary life. I paired it with a black, chiffon top and basic heels. I’d wear this look to work or throw a leather jacket over it…Read More

Painted On

November 1, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve always liked expressing my passions sartorially. So when I saw this painting-style midi skirt I had to have it. This outfit embodies the Trends and Tolstoy spirit, artsy and intellectual but with a dark, edgy side. Mixing hard and soft makes for such a dynamic look. In the winter I’ll pair this with my…Read More
