Purple Classic

Purple sleeveless blouse with ruffles (Esprit), black high-waisted pencil skirt (Kensie, The Bay), grey cropped jacket (Guess), faux suede platform pumps (Payless), white gold hoop earrings (birthday gift).

This is just blatantly flaunting Denim Month - haha! I love this ruffled shirt - it's even washable. Also, nothing beats a pencil skirt when you need a bit of a lift - this one sucks in my tummy and makes my butt look great. I feel like one of those 50s vixens in this skirt. A close-up of the blouse (I figured out how to crop!) and the shiny black pyramid bead detail on the skirt waistband:

The shoes are too big. I bought a 9 1/2 when I should have bought the 9. I step out of them when I walk, since the platform doesn't bend. I am keeping an eye out for that perfect black pump (preferably platform) to replace these but for now, they will do. Needless to say, they were cheap.
