The Look: Pretty Casual

Today's Editor`s Secret is by our lovely style writer, Gillian deGraaf. 

Striking the right balance between dressy and casual can be a challenge. Pairing a laid back chambray shirt with a sequin embellished skirt is a quick and easy way to achieve a pretty, relaxed look. With the help of Express, H&M, and Nine West I was able to put together a cute outfit that I'll be rocking all summer! 

Skirt, Express $49.90; Top, H&M $39.95; Clutch, Banana Republic $185; Shoes, Enzo Angiolini from Nine West $160.

This skirt is to die for, and can be paired with almost any top – even a white t-shirt for a lunch with the girls. These shoes had a few boys on the street looking, but throw on some flats and this outfit is summer festival ready.
