Outfit inspiration: Emma Stone & Michelle Dockery

Burberry have been championing a great look lately - namely the "fancy t-shirt with pencil skirt" look. And two girls who have got this combination down pat are Michelle Dockery (who hasn't put a foot wrong since winning us all over in Downton) and Emma Stone.

The main two ingredients are an interesting t-shirt - something with a pattern, some texture or detail, and a pencil skirt. Then add a pair of high heeled court shoes or ankle boots, and maybe a statement necklace, and you're done.

Boost the glamour stakes in the evening by adding a little more interest to your pencil skirt, by wearing one in a velvet or brocade fabric, or one with a peplum.
