Silhouette

by Jen on Monday, May 14, 2012


One of my favourite, most worn combinations is a fitted top with a high-waist, A-line skirt. In fact, if you've been reading this blog for a while, chances are that you have seen this combination more times than you can remember. I can't help it: the proportions of the silhouette instantly make me feel feminine and it is by far most flattering shape on my body type. Plus, paired with a light jacket, the look is easily transitioned into appropriate attire for a cool spring evening.
What's your go-to silhouette?


Wearing: YesStyle skirt and jacket (c/o), H&M chambray, Zara shoes, House of Harlow sunnies, bfrend & ASOS bracelets, MICHAEL Michael Kors bag

Totally agree about the silhouette; it's instantly flattering and creates nice proportions without being boring. Love the denim button up, it adds a nice casual touch and the orange clutch is an amazing colour!

I can totally see what you mean about the silhouette, it really does make an outfit very feminine. really love this look on you, you look so pretty :)
and I would pick this silhouette too, I'm on the shorter side so outfits like this really work for me :)

I love your jacket. I like the way you layered it over chambray shirt. You look playful yet chic and fabulous.

Love it :)

I think my go-to silhouette is the same as yours! I love wearing full skirts that flatter my curves and pull in my waist. You look lovely here, really like the jacket!

obsessed with that orange bag!

I love that silhouette on you! Totally flattering. As for me, I tend to go for slim and drapey -- really full skirts tend to make me feel like I'm taking up an excessive amount of room since I'm relatively tall. So I slink instead!

I absolutely love this silhouette on you. I find that it elongates your legs more when you wear a flared skirt.

The silhouette looks perfect on you... no wonder it's your go-to! My own go-to involve flowy tops tops, layers, and skinny pants :)

Agreed, I love that silhouette so much and this outfit is just perfect Jen... the pairing of hues, the texture in your blazer and those shoes!! LOVE! You're always so lovely! xo

Haha today was my first day and I was just writing out a list of bloggers that I want on the style panel soon and was thinking I should write out trends/trademarks that they seem to nail the most...for you, I had "leopard, A-line skirts, gold accessories." Not to flatter myself, but I think pretty spot-on! It suits you so beautifully and it really just fits your whole aesthetic amazingly. Missing all you girls!

I love this silhouette on you! It's ladylike and classic, which suits you perfectly and is exactly how I'd describe your style. My go-to silhouette is always a skinny jean, flowy top and great shoes!

After reading your blog for quite awhile, I have to agree that you've hit it on the nail! This style is just so you and you work it flawlessly. Me, I'm not so good with the a-lines myself and prefer to stick to pencil skirts :)

you look so cute!

I adore the a-line shape! It can be such a curve-boosting piece, and I love seeing you style them on your blog.
