Pencil Me In

November 26, 2014

It’s been a while since I’ve rocked the pencil skirt … mostly because I tend to associate them with a conservative, buttoned-up vibe. In my past life, I came from a world of skirt-suits, where the options were black, gray and maybe a navy (if you were feeling wild).

Suffice it to say: to get me anywhere near a pencil skirt these days, it’s got to be bright and bold like this floral print or this leafy pattern (both an extra 40% off, by the way!). I love a printed pencil with an asymmetrical zipper sweater and a pair of ankle-strap pumps. It’s anything but your average office wear and that’s something I can get behind.

Sleeveless in the City

November 24, 2014

So I’m sleeveless … in November. That’s weird, right? … especially after being bundled up from head to toe all week long. But hey, when life gives you 50°F weather on a Sunday afternoon, you take it and pretend like it’s autumn all over again. I bought this sleeveless trench coat from Ann Taylor a few months back, but never got a chance to wear it until now. And this rose-print dress? Perfectly fine for winter, but way more fun with bare legs. I hope you got a chance to take your favorite fall pieces out for one last spin this weekend … sans sleeves and sans tights.

Wear:
Dress: Dex (on sale!)
Coat: Ann Taylor
Necklace: Sequin (c/o) (similar here and here)
Bag: Target (similar here and here)
Ring: Kendra Scott (c/o)
Heels: DVF (similar here and here)

Fall on the West Coast

November 17, 2014

After spending the first week of November in Arizona, I remembered how wonderful fall is on the West Coast — that is, if you can even consider it a real season there. No crunchy golden leaves on the ground — just glorious sunshine and tepid temps all day. I reached for light layers that still emitted a bit of autumnal aura, like this silky sweatshirt-inspired top and a faux leather flared skirt. And those strappy heels — oh man, how I’m going to miss open-toed weather.
