It was love at first sight with this skirt by Denis Gagnon – with faux leather pleats, a high waist and a badass zipper detail, how could I say no? This is my first piece from the designer, but I’ve certainly become a fast fan. All of his pieces on SSENSE are incredible! Think lots of volume, gold hardware and black. Anyway, back to the skirt. In order to offset the edgy style of the skirt, I paired it with my favorite classic Theory shirt. I feel like this outfit would be ideal for a work party or after-work event. Even though the skirt edgy, it’s basic and classic enough to wear year-round. Some other pieces I’ve craving from SSENSE right now include this sunny yellow Givenchy clutch and these embellished sandals by Burberry Prorsum. So much good stuff right now!
