I recently posted about how I'm trying to sport more of my cardigans backwards these days (unfortunately, I can't take credit for this genius idea but this gal can!). Surprisingly, it wasn't until a few days ago that I seemed to have stumbled upon a silhouette I really love -- the one you see above. When paired with a sleek, more form fitting maxi skirt, it's deceivingly demure from the front, and a proverbial party in the back -- a mullet of an outfit, if you will, and I'm kind of obsessed with it!
Next steps? Must find a weighty necklace to sport backwards like this little number. Any recs?
you always come up with the most perfectly unexpected combos!!! Cute mix!

This is really great! Do you pull the tags off your cardi's that you are going to wear backwards? I'm guessing they might itch and show otherwise…curious to know what you do before I go ripping one out to try this look :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Love the colours and how it is so sexy in the back! Your hair looks beautiful and that lippie is flawless with your skin tone, you look amazing!
ReplyDeletelove this look. you look amazing. are you ever worried the buttons would come undone? for some reason i'd be paranoid about that all day long.
ReplyDeleteI love this look so much, and your previous backwards cardigan post inspired me to try my own backwards Kriss Kross look here: http://natashafatah.blogspot.com/2012/02/labour-of-love-getting-ready-for.html

ReplyDeleteuummmm, this is so great. i love the colors.

ReplyDeleteIm loving this silhouette. I can see why you're obsessed with it. Seriously great blog, always look forward to your next post.

ReplyDeletewow! i spend some time looking at your outfits yesterday and saw this cardigan backwards (witch i happen to have, same color and everything). So right now im wearing it!!! I paired it with dark grey/blueish maxi pants, yellow snake stilettos (from zara), and gold accessories (short necklace, huge ring and a swatch watch).

Beautiful choices. If I had the guts to wear an open back, a long chain would such a great detail to add.

Wow first of all I can't believe that skirt is Forever21, it looks like great quality, so sleek. Second I wore a cardigan backwards for the first time a couple of weeks ago and received so many compliments.
ReplyDeleteThird I really love the backwards necklace idea, it's very unexpected but chic.
Great Look!

love the shape of that skirt! x
ReplyDeleteI tried the cardigan backwards look a few weeks ago and finally ended up turning mine around the right way after a couple of hours as the neckline in the back was far too high when in the front and it wouldn't lay right. Will definitely have to give this look another go with a different cardi!
