1 skirt + 4 looks = Sofistafunk!

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend especially since the weather was finally acknowledging that it's Spring! We needed sun & 50 degree weather in NY because we all know this time of the year = legs! I get to rock shorts and skirts without feeling like I sentenced myself to death by hypothermia.

My 'Hot Find' for today is a skirt with flair & funk! This skirt, known as "Two Face", was created by Sofistafunk. The label, established 1999 led by designer Arlinda McIntosh, incorporates bold, feminine and ultra versatile designs that explore the alliances between the Elizabethan era through the Victorian period creating a contemporary yet couture aesthetic.

Best known for their uninhibited and ultra girly approach to skirt making, the label has become a favorite amongst clients for their timeless, grand and picturesque creations.
 "Our skirts are designed to make a lady feel as if she's about to attend the ball, but meant to be worn everyday on the streets of her casually elegant life." -Arlinda M. 
I had so much fun styling this because the possibilities were almost endless! But for the sake of the post I created four looks that were based on the idea of transitioning from day to night.




 Item of focus: Sofistafunk "Two Faced" skirt
Can be found on sofistafunk.com. Follow them @sofistafunk 

Top left: For a night on the town, you can dress up the skirt with a pair of pumps & keep it polished with a light, white button-up
Top right: Keep it flirty by pairing the skirt with a crop top. Add wedges with a pop of color for a bit of fun
Bottom left: Chic & trendy is the game when pairing the skirt with a checkered red/black button up with a white tank underneath to break the pattern contrast. Stay comfy by adding cute black flats
Bottom right: Keep it casual & light with a basic graphic tee & tennis shoes. Cute but laid back is always in style.
