It's the off-kilter way you can add an unexpected fireball of sass into this season's bookish outfits. See Gucci for the lesson in this fashion dichotomy; the formula goes a little like this: lamé blouse, pleated skirt, cardigan and KAPOW! These heels make all the difference. Elevation—in every way.
