Alright, I'm a dancer, albeit and incompetent one, but I love channeling it in everyday clothes. However, the lacrosse player in me wants to be taken seriously. CONFLICTS. Kidding, but if you do want to wear a ballerina skirt, here are some tips:
Keep the top SIMPLE, this outfit is like an experiment. It's very volatile and can turn into ridiculous if you turn the wrong way. I suggest black on top--subtle ballerina looks. Yes.
I offset it with leather, because it's my favorite jacket and because I can. If I was you, though, I'd find a way to toughen it up a bit. Maybe rough shoes, or dark eyeliner? Whatever sinks your titanic.
Cat eyes are really good with this.
No lipstick. It ruins it. If it's pink, you look five, if it's red, you look desperate. If it's purple...well damn if you can pull off purple, wear it whenever the hell you want.
This isn't really the bravest of dares, but I got very positive reviews on this when I wore it in SF. Trust me, it's a good look. Just make sure it matches your personality a bit. By that I mean, if you've gone every day wearing tshirts and awkwardly long shorts, then ease your way into this look. Everybody has their looks and closet-pets. This is really a look that I do love.
If anyone out there has a pulse, feel free to reply. Love it, hate it. suggestions, people, it's about the journey.
Kisses,
Cristi
