Summer Striped Pencil Skirt

These days, a-lines dominate my wardrobe, but there was a time in my life when pencil skirts commanded their fair share of closet real estate.  This was especially true while working in conservative offices, where black, gray and navy reigned supreme.  I’m in a more creative environment now, but I still have a soft spot for the classic cut.  Just serve it up with a side of summery stripes and the pencil skirt will always have a place in my heart.

Black and White Criss Cross Tank

This past weekend, we headed upstate for the boyfriend’s family reunion.  It was a quick trip, but a refreshing respite from the daily grind.  It’s amazing how beautifully different it is outside of Manhattan, whether it’s a half hour or six hour drive away.  Note to self: get thyself outside of the city more often.

Weekend Road Trip Outfit

Whenever we do hit the road, comfort is key.  I picked up this slouchy striped tank right before our trip, because it’s the kind of top that weekends are made of: loose, laid-back and ready to be lived in.  Now, can the week hurry up and be Friday already??

White Crochet & Chiffon Dress

Somethings are just meant to go together, like peanut butter and jelly, Beyonce and Jay-Z and maybe the less obvious: chiffon and crochet.  It’s the ultimate summer combination: light and breezy with a boho twist.  So when I saw this laid-back LWD, I knew I would be living in all season long.
