Summer Uniform: City Glamour

When I saw this street-style photo, I was blown away by the outfit on the right. How gorgeous does she look in her chambray shirt and yellow skirt? What a perfect combo, especially for the transition from summer to fall. While I don't know this lovely lady, I did some sleuthing...

Here's how to get the look:
Chambray shirt: EmersonMade, $128.
Yellow skirt: ASOS, $60.
Black bag: Michael Kors, $98.
Snake-skin heels: Charles David, $285, or Steve Madden, $99.
Necklace: Octavia Bloom, $76.
Cuff bracelet: Bario-Neal, $90.

Thoughts? Would you wear this? xo

P.S. More summer uniforms.

  3. Love it. I have got to get a Chambray shirt. At first it felt a little trendy and 1990-ish. But, the softened version I am thinking is a go for fall!

  4. Love that!

    I have been posting some of my summer to Fall transition ideas over on my blog. Might have to make an addition! Good work sleuthing!

  5. Ooo it looks also like mustard is going to be THE color for fall. How on earth do they manage to walk in those heels though?? I'd be flat on my face in under 5 seconds.

  29. Love it! Also, I love the idea of transitioning into fall. I'm going to look in my closet tonight and figure out some summer to fall transitions of my own. I always feel like I get anxious about fall too early so this will help me hold out.

  34. If you are looking for an inexpensive chambray shirt I found one at Target for $23. It's distressed, somewhat fitted and an overall great deal if you don't have a lot of money to spend.

    I'm glad to see it's coming back-love Jo that you called it the new stripes! Although, I'm not ready to hang up my stripes yet!

    except I swapped snake skin heels for leopard which I think would work equally well. Anyway, love this look!!

    oohh, I am not alone. I saw this photo a few weeks ago and fell in love with the same outfit, so I bought the emmerson shirt, and found a similar skirt from an Australian fashion lable (Cue) who just released a delicious mustard coloured skirt, of course for me this will be a Spring/Summer look with Sydney hopefully about to warm up a bit. So glad others feel the same =).
    I love this photo for the colours, and would love to look like one of these gorgeous women. Always love your posts Jo, especially about your yummy son and being a mum. Making being a mum very cool.

  62. There is just something fabulous about yellow clothes. Maybe because people don't wear yellow much. Except for the sailor on the fish sticks box. What year was it that Renee Zellweger wore the yellow strapless Jean Desses gown to the Oscars? She stole the show that year! Thanks for the great post!

  70. Pearls could be the earliest identified jewel, and for ages have been considered by far the most precious Pearl Jewelry Set. So incredibly valued are Freshwater Pearl Necklace, that the Roman commanding officer Vitellius allegedly paid for a total army campaign by using just one of his mother's Freshwater Pearl Earring. Pearls seem to have been worn as a personal decoration for generations. Freshwater Pearl Ring signify chastity, chasteness and ethics. They have for many years been considered ideally suited wedding day presents because Freshwater Pearl Beads represent chastity and chasteness. Customarily it's a near requirement for brides. In the western world, akoya pearls are the preferred gift for lovers remembering their third and thirtieth wedding anniversaries. Fashion and fabulous turquoise necklace are ideal for counter display and gift giving. Whether it is a tiara for the bride or accessories for the bridesmaids, jewelry beads will look amazing. supplies beads

    The yellow skirt really livens the outfit. I'd totally wear something similar, but not if it would cost me over $700! I don't think I'd ever buy a shirt that costs more than $50, not even if I made $100,000 a year.

  83. love love love this . . . of all the outfits you picked the best. Who would have thought that chambray and yellow and snake skin would go together? I think there is also something about the way that this lady is walking and holds herself which stands out.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Here's a link to a full shot of the outfit if you're interested - I love it. Although I think the shirt's actually denim, rather than chambray, but either would look great.

    Also, I actually bought that yellow skirt from asos a while ago - feeling very proud of myself now for being ahead of the fashion game!

  85. I love this picture and love that outfit, the colours are so fab. I'd have to wear flats with it though!

  93. oh that is delicious. I've found my perfect chambray shirt, but I may need to buy that Asos skirt. What color tights would you wear for cooler weather? I'm thinking charcoal?

  95. How the heck do you ladies walk around the city in those high heels? I just bought a pair of 4 inch pumps, they keep slipping off my feet and I feel like I am going to break my ankle. My legs do look to die for in them, but can only wear them when walking short distances.
