Cable Knit Sweater & Navy Polka Dot Pencil Skirt

Aaaaand we’re back.  I can’t believe Thanksgiving Weekend is over already!  Really wishing we could just rewind to the feasting, the shopping and the wearing of the same leggings all weekend long, but alas … it’s Monday and I have to trade my elastic waistband for something a little more presentable.

Skirt The Rules // Ann Taylor Polka Dot Pencil Skirt

So pencil skirt it is.  Two weeks in a row … who would’ve thought?  I’ve been loving the sweater and pencil skirt combination lately.  It feels relaxed, but still very much refined, which is exactly how I want to ease back into the work week.  Hope you’re feeling recovered from the holiday weekend and don’t forget to check out the best of Cyber Monday sales down below!

Striped Dress & Leather Boots

Having lived in NYC for two years now, my appetite for exploration has expanded beyond the five boroughs and up the East Coast.  There’s just so much to see and so many little towns to visit, it can get a little overwhelming.  But this past weekend, I checked one destination off my list: Wesport, Connecticut.

Striped Dress & Leather Boots

It was just a little over an hour-long train ride out of the city, but once we got there, lt like a whole new world.  Charming houses overlooking the Saugatuck River.  American flags strewn across the bridge.  And the epitome of what every Main Street should look like: local restaurants, cute shops and the absence of any hustle or bustle.

Tall Chelsea Leather Boots

I did a little damage at one of my favorite stores before heading to brunch with the boyfriend and our darling friend Ellen.  Even though we were only up there for a few hours, it was the perfect little respite from the daily grind (and grime) of NYC.  I can’t say that I’m ready to move out to the ‘burbs just yet, but I’ll never say never … Do you guys have any recommendations on where else I should visit up on Connecticut?

Burgundy Floral Pencil Skirt

It’s somehow Monday again and I need all of the coffee.  This weekend went by much too quickly, what with the shorter days and now the pre-winter chill that has just officially rolled in.  Up until yesterday, I could still get away wearing a simple cami or a short-sleeve tee outside but now sweater weather is here and I don’t think it’s leaving anytime soon.

Cream Sweater & Burgundy Floral Skirt

So let’s have fun with it before we’re all condemned to bundle up in bulk.  I love the idea of a light crewneck sweater over a floral pencil skirt.  It’s cozy enough to survive a dip in degrees, but still refined enough for the office.  An outfit that’s weather and work appropriate?  Count me in.
