Juxtaposition

I'm going to attempt to make something similar to this Larsen Gray pencil skirt. I have an American Apparel black pencil skirt that I would love to put a zipper through it, not straight, but diagonal (I already have the zipper, so I don't need to spend $260 on this skirt). By placing the zipper diagonally, it will make the zipper seem more noticeable, maybe even cooler somehow. Zippers seem to be the new trend (just look up Marc by Marc Jacob's Strippy Zippy Satchel) as designers love to juxtapose chunky heavy zippers with loose prim and proper Victorian blouses, like this cute rag & bone creation for last fall.

But I don't want to wear skirts just yet since I'm still too lazy to shave. (tmi?) Black skirts are hard to do leggings with, but if I think I can find a good navy or charcoal pair, I'll wear a skirt pretty soon. Especially this one I got for hella cheap:
It's by Rami Kashou (yes, the guy from project runway, who should have won because he was wayyy better than Christian). I found it on maneaterthreads.com, which is a local store in SF that is closing down, so they are having a massive clearance sale. So anyways, I bought this skirt partly because I saw Nicole Richie (even though, she might have her critics, I like her style) wearing something similar, but the one I bought is draped so much better.
I also scored this Mike & Chris Dean Blazer for $49 (originally $250, also from maneaterthreads)I know spring is approaching and I should get brighter colors (I love emerald), but I love the silhouette of this and the soft fleece Mike & Chris is known for; anyways, I much prefer muted colors to garish ones like mustard yellow, which just drowns out an individual. Again, I am spending wayyy too much money in this bad economy.

Items I will never have and will always have not:
