Outfit Planning: Rainy Day

Dressy Rainy Day Outfitone | two | three | four | five | six

The good news: the weekend’s here.  The bad news: a forecast of rain through Monday.  But just because I complain about the weather (pretty much all the time lately) doesn’t mean I let it get the best of my weekend plans or outfits.  Give me a pair of embellished rubber flats (or killer boots!), a waterproof bag and a trusty ol’ umbrella and I’m out the door.  I’ll take rain over snow any day!

Work It, Wear It!

Leather & Lace

Leather and LaceBack when I was in law school, I was all about the traditional pencil skirt — black, gray, navy and repeat. The classics are great, but pieces with a modern twist are what make getting dressed in the morning so fun.  These days, I gravitate toward pieces with a little more pizzazz and this skirt obviously fits the bill.  Berry, lace, leather trim – that’s the stuff dreams are made of.
