Sometimes it's the little details that make an outfit special. Take this skirt, for example. It's a great basic but the visible gold zipper and the laser cut-outs around the hem give it just the right amount of personality. I paired it with this top I got on clearance last Spring. For me, it's important to match metals. With this outfit, I matched the gold zipper of the skirt to the gold clasp on my shirt and the gold buckles on my shoes. It's little touches like that that help me feel put together.
