Who?: Ellie Goulding is an English singer and songwriter who is trying to make her big break in America considering she has already captivated many fans "across the pond."

(Check out Ellie's video for her song "Starry Eyed". Not your cup of tea? Check out the cover by You Me At Six.)

What?: Goulding has paired a simple white button up blouse with a black bow tie. This combination has contrasting shades and has a masculine edge. Goulding has paired a crinkled blazer over the dress shirt to add personality to the classic combo she has underneath. To give the outfit a more relaxed finish, Goulding sloppily tucks her shirt into a well-constructed linen pencil skirt.

Wear?: This is a look I would wear if I needed to look professional or polished. Since this outfit lacks crazy prints and patterns, I would be taken seriously while wearing it. Also, the outfit does have fun and quirky elements that would allow for my individual style to come through (even if it's on a toned down version). I feel Ellie looks both sophisticated and fashion forward in this outfit due to the basic dress pieces she has incorporated and the very feminine cropped and crinkled blazer. Also, her skirt is both simple and conventional which makes it a great investment piece.
