Pleated Tank

No lie, I just LOVE this full skirt.  It's a little dressy for my normal "librarian chic" as my friend likes to call my workday style, but it goes with everything and today that's a pleated tank.  I used to always only wear off-white or black with this skirt until I figured out that almost any print piece can go with any solid piece!  Like Tim Gunn would say "Make it Werk!" My comfy two-toned flats keep it still neutral and have me thinking about finding some two-toned brogues to add to my footwear collection.  I never would have thought five years ago I'd be trading my loved heels for a collection of brogues.

Dusty Rose

 

A pencil skirt and some brogues are my go-to uniform lately.  I had this huge adoration for the figure of a pencil skirt, but I feel like it might be related only to the fall.  Pencil skirts don't feel spring-like. I have dusty rose lace and a bit of dusty rose print on my skirt today pulled together with a rather ordinary gray cardigan.  But the brogues, how I love them (especially with heel inserts, thank you very much).  I'm professing this right before our Midwest spring truly starts- with the first days of May later this week.  Time to flip the calendar, too!
