Styling With Michaela: HOLIDAY PAR-TEE

We just had our Thriving Ink holiday party the other night, and most of us relished the chance to get a little formal with it. So we were excited about Mac dressing up the basic tees we live in and taking them on a night out...and show us a couple dance steps while she was at it...

THE PIECES:

At Thriving Ink & Co.:
Oaklandish Stacks V-neck tee, Twisted Silver chain necklace (not pictured, but featured above), Twisted Silver scroll ring

Elsewhere:
High-waisted mini skirt, ladylike coat, cashmere scarf, colbalt platform heels

OTHER TAKES:
Here are some variations on the tee, high-waisted skirt, and statement necklace combination.

From right to left:
Ashley Olsen pairs her high-waisted mini with patterned tights. The Glamourai’s Kelly Framel creates bold chain statement pieces in gold. Jessica Stroup wears a boyfriend blazer with her v-neck and rocks a silver skirt. Hilary Duff also adds shine with a sequined skirt (and toughness with a leather jacket) on the cover of Nylon’s January 2010 issue. She wears a similar look inside, swapping the skirt for a fringe version.
