Dark Essentials

April,May Peach Maxi Skirt, Forever 21 Jacket, Ava + Aliria Vintage Bead Necklace, Forever 21 Chain Necklace, Vintage Clutch from The Reformation, Erin Wasson Cuff, Breslin Raen Sunglasses, YSL Lingerie Pink Lipstick

Bright colors have taken center stage these days in the fashion world but I can't deny my love for basic black essentials—especially when the summer tan starts to fade. I'm utterly smitten with this black maxi skirt by April,May because of the antique pink waist detail and full pleated cut. It's incredibly graceful yet cool when paired with a leather jacket and layered jewelry.

Love that maxi! I have been looking for the perfect black pleated maxi and they're either too short, poufy, sheer, or not flattering. This one looks perfect, is it available online?
