I know summer is technically over but it is hotter than satan's balls here in LA. Also, I hate the 'no white after labor day rule' and I think fashion rules are made to be broken!

Styling: I brought some fall vibes into this end-of-summer transitional look because the skirt is made out of faux leather aka pleather which gives it a not-so-summer weight. I'm obsessed with the subtle sexiness of an off-the-shoulder tee and the monochromatic color palette of this overall look makes it versitile for work or play.

I shot these photos with an adorable couple photog duo named Stewart and Connie and you'll be seeing more from shoots with them... so, yay! For more skater skirt inspo, check out Styling Transitional Layers.
