Ruffled purple blouse and pleated skirt

Layering Rules

Start with chic black pieces (which ground any outfit), then apply Vera's free-spirited strategies: A shot of color or sheerness gives a combination character, as in the pleated skirt ($64) and ruffled purple blouse ($58) on Kaili McDonnough, 28. If a top seems too full, belt it up.

Earrings, $175.
