Betsy Johnson sandals sz 5 (runs narrow), Cuyana bag c/o (also worn here), earrings
This look is one of my recent favorites – I love remixing older pieces in my closet and experimenting with print pairings! I’ve shown this skirt here (read my fit review) with a button-up blouse and blazer, here with a ruffled sleeve top, and wanted a slightly cleaner, more elegant pairing for an event last month. The higher neckline and angled shoulders on this sweater top created sleek lines that help balance out the fullness of this skirt.
To quickly make this appropriate for a business casual office, I’d add my trusty cropped cardigan to cover up the shoulders and swap out the sandals for closed-toe pumps. My faux leather scalloped tote bag (which fits a laptop and much more) is a complete steal right now, on sale for 50% off and currently stocked again in all three colors!
I’d typically go safe with neutral sandals for this look, but couldn’t resist working in a little whimsical mixed print with the gingham and floral. The rule of thumb is simple for mixing and matching – stick with prints in a similar color scheme, but with noticeably different pattern sizes!
Love love love this list! Thanks!
I've had a suede jacket on my Birthday list for my boyfriend.. But I love this jacket you posted, I might not be able to wait until my birthday!!
Love the Vince camuto split booties
Love your style. Wish I could put together clothes from my closet effortlessly.
Great picks!! Love them all!
Love the booties! Love that it can go from summer to fall!
I love your blog and all the baby stuff!
I love everything you post and love being able to see all of the beautiful options from the Nordstrom sale!
I love following your blog and appreciate everything you share! I'm 5'2" with narrow ankles and calves and have been searching for above-the-ankle/mid-calf "stocking boots" or stretch boots that have a similar shape to the Stuart Weitzman 50/50s but at this shaft height. Any recommendations?
Love your picks!
Great post! As a petite girl- I really appreciate everything you share!!
Great post!! Planning to get the clarisonic spare heads for sure. But I can't make a decision on anything else!!! Too many options!
adorable smile, Jean! 🙂 I like all your bags:)

Hi Jean! I am the same skin tone as you and I was wondering what color you got in the Bristols 6? Thank you in advance!
Wow this skirt is amazing! I love the florals and the pleats in the skirt! Beautiful!

I really love the various looks! Great advice as always on how to transition a look!!
Hi Kate – thank you! The last time I went to Asia, the makeup artists all said the first order of business they had to take care of was to "flatten" my brows, lol! Apparently they don't really like arches there and prefer the brows to lay flatter over the eyes, which I know doesn't work for everyone's features. That look has grown on me since, so all I've been doing is overdrawing my own brows a bit in thickness, and flattening the brow line to be more horizontal instead of arched. I've tried all of Anastasia's brow products and currently am liking the Brow Powder (I use Ebony – it's dark, so apply with a light touch) best because it lasts for years. I'll try to do another makeup video or post soon, but hope that helps in the meantime!
I like how too pair up gingham shoes with floral skirts. I never really thought about putting these two prints together. Looking chic!

So lovely! I have this same halter and have styled it so many ways; it's so versatile! I picked up these sandals last week (thanks again!) and love them – size 5 fit perfectly! Love your picks, as always. xo

Jean would you consider a brow tutorial? Pictures only would be fine if no time to do video. Love the more youthful, fuller brow look you've doing for some time now.
This skirt is so cute on you! And this outfit matches your personality so well 🙂
