Greetings on this Monday! Bringing a touch of New York City to Los Angeles. Though you may relocate a person, their city spirit remains. Here’s a monochromatic black ensemble set against bright skies and warm sunshine. Whether I resided in LA or currently in NYC, I’ve always had a fondness for head-to-toe black looks.
Within a totally black outfit, a standout mini skirt is key. I absolutely adore this H&M balloon skirt (priced below $20)! It carries an air of playfulness and slight eccentricity, which I find delightful. Its design features a paperbag waist combined with a balloon-like shape, flaring outward. Bonus: it includes pockets! I enjoy pairing it with a broad belt placed over the waist ties and a turtleneck during LA’s cooler months, or a deep v-neck top for New York summers.
This entry is part of the Best of Budget Under $150 series. I trust you’ve appreciated the earlier installments too. It’s a joy to showcase these standout items with you.
