When it comes to planning my outfit for Kansas City Fashion Week, I usually err on the side of ridiculous. The theme this year? Fringe. Be it bright white or black suede, I am all about fringe lately. It’s my favorite spring trend, by far. I love the boho/Western vibe it adds to an outfit.
I built this outfit around the skirt; it was definitely the statement piece. But that didn’t mean giving the other elements the night off: enter a lacy bralette from For Love and Lemons, the perfect biker jacket, and a body chain. Hello, 1994.
Kansas City Fashion Week was a blast– yet again. Always lovely to hit Union Station, grab a few cocktails with some local bloggers + friends, and watch some fun looks come down the runway. My favorites: Andrea Long’s ombré chiffon one-shoulder gown, an amazing sparkly romper from Lucia Sarto- Nataliya Moyer, and a drapey + gathered dress with leather leggings from Michael Drummond.
Thanks again to the folks at KCFW for having me as a member of the media again!
The Blogger Collective put together a little link-up so members could share our favorite spring thing– mine is most definitely the fringe trend, in case you were unclear. Check out what my fellow babes shared as their favorite spring thing:
This is such a cool, confident and super feminine look! I love those fringe details and your pumps are everything! Red Reticule | Three Faces of a Woman
Smoking hot girl!!! I never thought about tucking the bralettes in like that I love how you styled it! I am all about the fringe lately and that skirt is on point! Fabulous look!
This outfit is soooooooooo sexy! But also perfectly classy. I love the fringe skirt with the bralette. I find that a lot of bralettes look too much like lingerie to actually wear in real life, but this one is beautiful!
WOWZA. This look is completely amazing and I’m jealous that you had somewhere so fabulous to wear this! Every details i s perfect!

WOW this is such and amazing look girl!! You are so killing the fringe skirt and love how you styled this entire look, gorgeous!

I love the fringing throughout this look and the crochet-style to the upper half, you look as gorgeous as always, Ashley! The cuff is utterly gorgeous as well, the aqua colours mixed with metal is really striking.. I’ll be looking into that brand for sure! 🙂
I am OBSESSED with this outfit! I see that bralette everywhere and I wish I could pull it off like you did! That skirt is so fun as well!

This fringe skirt is absolutely amazing and you are totally rocking it! Loving it with the leather and lace. All the sparkle on the runway is gorgeous!
