Wardrobe staples. We love them, right? They’re easy to wear and allow for easy mixing and matching as we wish no matter the current trend. I personally feel this way about a pencil skirt. Easy to dress up or dress down, but no matter what, it looks polished and flattering. Wendy found a great, sharp combination for our next Love Your Look model, and it’s a great, easy outfit – all closet staples – for the fall.

Amy and her family own West Seattle Natural Energy. Her outfit pieces are all her own.

Notes from Wendy: We dressed Amy in a black and white checkered skirt, with red accessories. For her body shape, we wanted to minimize her middle. The pattern skirt and peep of red camisole under the black cardigan, as well as the red necklace lend to drawing the eye away from her middle. All of these clothes and accessories were found in her closet!
