Full Skirts, Can’t Lose

Do you ever find yourself sticking to colors, silhouettes, or just general styles that you feel work best for you?

For me, I feel like it’s a fit and flare dress or a full skirt.  I find it’s the perfect shape to highlight my waist and looks amazing on pear shapes.

When I first started Brown Paper Doll – this look was the very first outfit I shot! I felt it perfectly showcased my style – feminine, but you can totally throw a leather jacket on top.  Well, a year and a half later I’ve upgraded that same look with a new take on some black and white favorites.  For our recent trip to Charleston, I wanted something upscale but not stuffy for dinners and cocktail hour.  I opted for a full skirt (my favorite shape) and an off-the-shoulder blouse that shows some skin, while also letting me feel covered.

While switching it up is what fashion is all about – there’s something to be said for sticking to favorites that you feel work for you.  What about you dolls? Is there a look you turn to over and over again?
