I put this outfit together at the last minute when I received an invite to the Janelle Monae concert. I wasn’t to familiar with her music but familiar with her style. Janelle has a very diverse audience. My friends said they were dressing up like Janelle and that’s something I never do. Her theme colors are black & white and by coincidence I bought this black & white striped skirt earlier that same day, so I was like what the heck. Throw on that skirt and grab a bow tie from the fashion district & have some fun. When I bought the skirt I thought it was a pencil skirt. I had no idea that it had a split in it but I wore it anyway. That was a fun night & I got a chance to put together an outfit I would never have thought of putting together and I liked it
