Just as a girl who is both feminine and athletic is adorable as all get out, so is an outfit that blends both the feminine and masculine.  I love the contrast of the feminine statement collar against the grey tee paired with the menswear inspired window pain blue and black skinny pant and the blue suede bow shoe.

The feminine and masculine pieces help to balance one another out, which is great for those of you who don’t want to look too sickeningly sweet or too boyish.  Another plus of this look is that it is polished enough for many work environments, but so comfortable that you will feel like you are getting away with a major dress code violation.  It’s also cute enough to make the transition from work to a little night with friends or your guy.
