TOP & SKIRT: (c/o) ABS by Allen Schwartz Collection/EARRINGS & SHELL BANGLES: H&M/HEELS: Nordstrom

Ever have one of those moments where you try on something, strut outside of the dressing room to see it from a different angle (and because, let’s be honest – it looks fantastic on you and you want the rest of the world to see it) and say, “DONE. Here’s my credit card. I’ll take it in the other color, too! Thanks.”

That’s how I felt wearing this beautiful look from ABS by Allen Schwartz Collection.

At first glance, it looks like a dress but it’s actually two pieces: a pleated midi skirt with a matching sleeveless blouse. Both the skirt and blouse have a smooth nude lining underneath a layer of chiffon that move gracefully as you walk…

Paired together, this outfit looks amazing. Separately, both pieces look just as great. I’ve worn this skirt with a black crop top and lace up sandals. It also looks great with a simple tank and a black leather jacket. The blouse can be worn with jeans and a belt cinched at the waist, too. Either way, both styles work just as well for off-duty days as they do for a special night out on the town.

For those of you who haven’t already discovered this designer, ABS by Allen Schwartz (carried at Bloomingdale’s and Lord & Taylor) is an affordable luxury lifestyle brand that caters to the contemporary women who is always ahead of the trend. From work to evening, each piece is designed with high quality fabrics (as evident in today’s look) with an attention to detail.
