How to Pull Off Kim Kardashian's Breezy Skirt & Bodysuit Combo

AKM-GSI

Kim Kardashian was spotted all over the Hamptons this summer and in true Kim style she was dressed to the nines each and every day (and night). 

One of our favorite looks so far? The E! star's feminine and flirty pleated Celine skirt (which goes for $2,050!) paired with a seriously sexy black scoop neck bodysuit.  The 33-year-old finished the summery ensemble with a pair of black and white snakeskin Dior sandals, which would set you back a cool $1,050, in case you're wondering. 

You too can recreate this look on a budget . For the bodysuit, try a $40 one from American Apparel—and remember the amount of skin you show is optional. To show side boob or not to show side boob is totally up to you. As for the skirt, we love this version from Farfetch. It looks just like the Celine skirt Kim chose but the price is only $181. And last, while Kardashian's Dior sandals are just beyond, these snakeskin strappy heels from Zara for just under $100 will certainly do too. 

Tweet @mgarciastyling!She would love to see how you rock this outfit or if there's a celeb look you are crazy about, let her know! Your questions and suggestions could be the trend she selects for the next Ask a Stylist!

Original post from: http://www.africanprintinfashion.com/

 Photographer: Adeyemi Adegbasan (better known as SoTeeOh)

 Model: Aluad Deng Anei

Based in Toronto, Canada, Chinedu took his inspiration "from the warrior spirit it often requires to face and conquer the sometimes harsh winters of the Great White North". The collection mixes leather, wax print, Scottish tartan wool and indigo-dyed bogolan fabrics from Mali. This mix is what makes the creations from Chinedesign so unique and innovative. The jacket just looks haute and amazing, the shirt dress cool, stylish and trendy.
