I have been waiting for the weather to warm up enough for me to wear more of my Peter Pilotto for Target pieces. I got the chance last weekend when both the weather and the occasion (a birthday dinner for a friend) meant I could take this number for a spin.
Although it looks like a dress, this is actually a skirt + top combo. The top is a rash guard (surf’s up, how ridiculous– I love it) and the bottom is this really cool folded skirt with contrasting black and white prints. With so much going on up top, I kept the shoe really simple + classic in a pointed toe patent pump and minimal jewelry.
I’m really excited for the weekend– the Big 12 Tournament starts up for my Jayhawks today and I’ve got Kansas City Fashion Week on Saturday night. Excited to see the shows, visit the ULTA Beauty backstage lounge, and visit with some local bloggers. Busy, busy. Check back next week for fashion week coverage.
Congrats to Summer M., who was the winner of the $1000 Valentine’s PayPal Cash Giveaway. I’d get to shopping right now about now, Summer!
Linking up today with Vodka Infused Lemonade, All Things Pretty, Stylin in St. Louis, Glitz and Gold, Perfectly Coutured, VMG206, Midwest Bloggers, and Style Elixir.
You look amazing! This outfit is so fun!
Your makeup looks GORGEOUS here, Ashley! I love it!
Hope you have a great time at KCFW!
Can I just have your legs or…
🙂 Great outfit!
I can’t believe the top is a rash guard! What a cool idea. I love the prints- especially in the skirt! 😀 Looking beautiful!
You hair is so pretty here- the bottom ombre color is SO awesome!
ooo la la! You look amazing. Sounds like a great weekend!
You seriously can pull off anything! I love this outfit on you- you rocked it!
This is such a fun outfit, Ash! I love how you kept the rest of it simple because the top and skirt are so busy- but totally fun!
Absolutely love this! You look amazing!!

Love this! I bought the exact top and am dying to wear it. This week has been warmer so maybe I can brave the temperatures 🙂 And I think it’s totally cool how it’s a rash guard – no one would ever know!
Awesome!
Gorg!
You can totatlly pull this off, I love it! I’m excited for the KU game today – I hope they play well and move on so I can actually watch the game tomorrow night. See you soon at KCFW!

This is perfect on you. 🙂 I love the skirt, it’s really really pretty!
Great look! I love the skirt. And wearing the rash guard as a shirt is a great idea!

I am not brave enough to wear this- but you look INCREDIBLE in it! Work it, girl! Your legs look killer and I’m really loving your hair, as well!
Have a great Thursday and have so much fun at Fashion Week!
You look awesome, Ash!
Great post!
I feel like you’re the only person I’ve seen pull this skirt off.

I agree with Jacquelyn- you are the only blogger I’ve seen wear this skirt PERFECTLY. It looks like it was made for you! 🙂
Stunning!
I love that outfit so cool.
I love how you paired the rash guard with this skirt. I’ve seen the rash guards and just assume they can only be worn with a bathing suit, but this is obviously a much better idea! You look absolutely lovely, Ashley!

HELLO HELLA HOTTIE! Geezz. Now I have a complex about being around you!
First, I looooove your makeup here. So bronzey and gorgeous. Second, super clever to use a rash guard for a top and you’re right, it totally reads like a dress. Very creative and fun for a night out!
