For Day 3, I married my love of blazers and preppy skirts with color in a printed cardigan from Zara along with a Karl Saatchi pleated faux leather mini skirt.
I slipped a simple Helmut Lang tank underneath it all, and accented with a J.Crew necklace, my fave Stella McCartney Falabella bag, and my Kurt Geiger pin heel sling backs (previously worn here).
I really haven’t been studying my Youtube braid style tutorials like I should, so pulled my braids into an unimaginative low ponytail.
Chic, simple, and slightly saucy. Just the way I like it:)
What do you think?

Very cute! I love that skirt! And again, the braids look great on you, you look so youthful.
September 10, 2012 12:49 pm
Something looks off… But you are a cutie pie Claire.

love the shoes and bag…
September 10, 2012 1:30 pm
Hey Claire,
I know I’m probably late, but I L-O-V-E these braids on you! They compliment you soooooo well =)

Why are your legs so amazing?
September 10, 2012 2:09 pm
Hey Claire, I love the look, but I wish the jacket was a little shorter so that it wouldn’t block the waistline of the skirt. It would’ve added more shape to the silhouette. Cute all the same though.
And a high bun with those blonde braids would be fabulous, you should try it. :-)
Blessings

I’ma keep it funky with Claire… (since none of ya’ll will, but ya’ll tear the fashion bomb submitters to pieces)… I ONT LIKE THIS OUTFIT. The blazer is just wrong, its out of season really & the skirt is wrinkled. I like the braids and the bag tho. I’m out… *drops mic*

@Jenny Frm The Block You feel better now?
September 10, 2012 8:37 pm
^^Skirts do get wrinkled when people sit and move. It’s real life, not an in-studio photoshoot.

Lol the skirt is wrinkled tho claire. You look hot non the less tho :)
September 11, 2012 7:32 am
I also tend to critique Claire, but I like this outfit, minus the shoes…. You look absolutely stunning with the braids
September 11, 2012 8:14 am
I agree with Jeda, cute look.
LMAO @ Claire’s response to Jenny from the block!

Not one of my favorite pairings. All the pieces are fly but together I don’t think they get a chance to shine. That being said, u still worked it. When ur fly…ur fly….

@jennyfromtheblock I agree hunny. They do in fact tear the FashionBombshells to shreads. Sorry, Claire. But just because you wear labels does not mean you have style. I am waiting on the a** kisses to go off on me which is in fact fine with me. But, your braids are cute. You just need to style them.
