My undying love for the J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt is deeper than I ever imagined. In fact, during the extra 30% off sale, I picked up yet another one---this time, in the color "light rose." It's actually more of a bright coral color---and every bit as delightful as my other No. 2s (seriously, I need to start naming them). Let's call this one ...
Outfits
50 Shades of Purple
Though I never quite had an affinity for Barney, the big purple dinosaur, it certainly didn't keep me from wearing head to toe lilac, with a few touches of gold, for balance, of course. Why, not, I thought? This outfit actually kind of reminds me of our sofa pillows! Shirt- Talula Boyfriend Shirt (Aritzia)Skirt- J.Crew No. ...
The White Pant
I don't recall the last time I owned white pants (I returned the ones I got at Zara a couple of months ago because of fit issues) so when a co-worker recommended GAP's modern boot pants to me, I jumped at the chance to buy them at 30% off when GAP was running a promo a few weeks ago.A word of warning---these stretch like crazy as you wear ...
All Tucked In
This printed tunic from Zara is one of my most loved blouses of the moment. I love that it's super thin and lightweight because it wears so well under pencil skirts. You may remember that I also wore it tucked into shorts for brunch a couple of weeks ago. (...and if you don't remember, here's that outfit): ...and here is that same ...
Snakeskin for Summer
I usually eat my lunch at my desk during the work week, but today I had lunch with some of my fellow fashion bloggers Annina, Linley and Nina. We went to Tiny's no. 5 in West U and I had an incredible steak salad. I wore this Presley Skye dress that I got at Nordstrom months ago. I've worn it before but haven't featured it on the blog until ...
The Classics
Is there a more classic look than a crisp white shirt with a navy blue blazer? (that's a rhetorical question). I feel like I've been showing a lot more classic looks lately and I actually hadn't intended to do two similar outfits in a row, but these were taken last week and I hadn't posted them yet. I could not be more thrilled with ...
That White Shirt
I'm watching "The Change Up" on TV right now and can't help but notice Olivia Wilde's pretty office outfits---crisp white shirts and pencil skirts, galore! (she made those simple pieces look quite sexy in that movie---but then again, I kinda think she's one of those gals that can make a paper bag look sexy).Her movie style kind of reminds me of ...
Neon Coral
I often think about what a complete 180 I've done with my style these last couple of years. That feeling came full circle this past weekend when I accompanied my friend on a shopping trip where she too delved into the world of colors and brights. She is me 2 years ago---lots of gray, black and navy (remember how practically every outfit ...
Mint for Dinner
Saturday night we had dinner with my in laws and my best friend (at Liberty Kitchen in the Heights, as an FYI to my local readers) and while deciding what to wear for the evening, I remembered I hadn't yet worn my minty green cotton dress from H&M. I love how versatile, comfortable and most of all, affordable this dress ...
Succulent Green
ALERT THE PRESSES! It's official y'all, the J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in double serge cotton is just as amazing as its cozier cousin, the No. 2 Pencil skirt in double serge wool.I have to admit I didn't think I would love the double serge cotton skirt as much as the wool---but I love it as much as the wool (and maybe more, at this point, ...
