Mustard with Pops of Blue: Bloom Pencil Skirt & LOFT Fall Preview

Old Navy Cobalt Blue Heels
Shirt: Express (similar), Skirt: LOFT, Shoes: Old Navy, Necklace: Wantable (similar), Bag: Balenciaga, Lips: Lady Danger

I was recently invited to my first TIFF party, hosted by L’Oreal at the Shangri-La Toronto. I was SO excited to attend a glam event, and wanted to wear something colorful and elegant to celebrate. I’ve been loving mustard this fall – so I chose this Autumn Bloom Pencil Skirt, and paired it with cream and gold accents, contrasted with pops of cobalt blue.

I first spotted this mustard skirt at the LOFT Fall preview – I loved its longer length (the regular is knee-length on me – I’m 5’4) and that it could be dressed down with a t-shirt or dressed up with a blouse. Scroll down for some of my other faves from the preview:

LOFT Tweed Zip Pocket Skirt 

Love this pairing of a light shirt with a burgundy tweed skirt – it’s a great way to bring chambray into the fall. I have some similar pieces in my wardrobe, and I’m definitely going to wear them like this!

This Piped shirtdress is so slinky – the white piping makes it look tailored and formal while the soft material is comfortable and casual – I’m also loving the shirt version of this dress.

The Snow Leopard Print Car Coat was a crowd favorite at the preview – it’s definitely a statement piece!

I don’t often wear heels with jeans – but if I did – these Peeptoe Booties would be my first choice – they’re gorgeous.

I hope you liked the sneak peek of my favourite LOFT pieces…one of the background items will be featured in our next LovePrettyXLOFT post! I’ll end with 2 Instagram pictures from the TIFF L’Oreal party:

      There really are so many gorgeous pieces – I have my heart set on the black shirt with white piping – which reminds me of one of the portofino shirts at Express! And yes – the booties are FAB!

    That skirt is so beautiful on you! I've been debating it for weeks but can picture it paired with chunky sweaters and boots this fall!

    I never would have teamed mustard with cobalt but it looks fantastic. Your outfit is stunning on you. I like your tips and ideas for the Autumn. I think I'll mix a chambray shirt with a tweed skirt!

      Thanks Carylee – this was my first Balenciaga – I adore the small size – and it's held up pretty well – although I'm careful to never wear it with dark denim since it's a light bag 🙂
