There are certain pieces in my wardrobe that I find challenging – my leather skirt is one of them. I love it, but I basically rotate through a few different tops paired with it because I’m never quite sure what else to do. So when I saw this twist on styling, I was totally intrigued…
I’ve love a good asymmetric look in general, but this is a whole different level. That’s gotta be a dress right?? On one hand things could get a little bulky tucked in like that (you can kinda see it in this photo), but on the other hand, it’s totally unique. Layering a dress over a skirt? I think I need to try… have you??

I am in the process of revamping my closet, half my close are gone to charity….. This look! Love I think I will need to incorporate a leather skirt and long dress for tucking, I think it’s brilliant

I love the mix of leather skirt and the green colour, beautiful! I wear my leather skirt a lot with shirts tucked in but then all the way, so I will now try this look!
Thanks!

Ugh, Yasmin. I think everything she wears is amazing. How perfect is the collar on that blouse/dress? And I like the fact that it doesn’t have buttons, makes it easier to partially tuck and make blousy without the awkward button twist gap thing.
I think it works because that dress/top looks super light and airy. I agree that the feeling of asymmetry is quite lovely. but fabric choice would be really important when choosing a dress to layer on top. I love the idea of using layering to create new uses for clothing. Today I’m wearing a summer maxi dress with a blouse, belt and tights- pouf, it’s a long skirt!
I think this is a fantastic look! I’ve never tried the dress on skirt, but I am a big fan of the dress over jeans look. Here’s a photo of one of my favorites: http://www.umastewart.com/blog/2012/10/11/the-outfit-journal-lunch-la-boheme/
it needs to be done *just right* aka i don’t know if i could pull it off. but she obviously looks perfect and chic.
Absolutely love this – such a fun idea!!
An hour after reading your post, I found the same look (except this is a dress made to look like two pieces) at Net-a-Porter… http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/331334!!
oh my goodness! almost exactly the same! how funny. i think it’s officially a trend!
That is the MOST gorgeous color…and the drape is….perfect. Off to the closet…..franki
