I rarely get super girly with my outfits (black, navy, and neutrals are my go-tos), but after perusing all of the edgy stage-inspired pieces in December's "Not Your Typical Sugarplum Fairies," I felt propelled to channel my inner ballerina. Adding feminine accents, like pavé jewelry, an Angelina Jolie-esque slit skirt, and, of course, a dancer bun, to my monochromatic ensemble helped me pull off the look in a way that felt decidedly more badass than pirouettes and pink. Consider it my Black Swan ensemble.
