Crossing Paths

April 6, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Mixing two different aesthetics is one of my favorite styling techniques. Here I’ve mixed a retro skirt with an edgier leather jacket. This prevents the skirt from looking costumey. Nude heels and a basic black top accent the outfit without overpowering it. What do you think of the mixed look?

    Love it CM! The nude shoes definately lighten up the look. I’m going to try it!
