Dear Diary,

I usually wear a lot of color and printed outfits, but lately I have been in the mood for balancing my loud pieces with plain tops or bottoms. Take this ankara pencil skirt for instance, I love the green and aubergine color combination, and the flounce bottom just makes you want to do a double-take. To keep the look simple, I paired it with a plain button up and plain sandals. Add your pop of red lips, and you’re ready to conquer the day.
