Desk to Drinks: Striped Pencil Skirt

July 29, 2014

Having rekindled my love for pencil skirts, I wanted to show you two ways to wear one of the striped variety. It may seem a little plain Jane, but the classic cut and print makes it much easier to spice up. For starters, I added a splash of mixed prints for the desk (floral and stripes is my go-to combo). I also love the clean lines of this black satchel and this open gold cuff. And things get a little sultry for drinks, with a dark burgundy cami and a gorgeous leopard clutch. Either way you style it, they’re both anything but boring!

Striped Skirt

July 28, 2014

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.

Road Trip

July 24, 2014

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.

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??
