For some reason I can’t stand
wearing suits. Every time I put one on I
feel like a little kid playing dress up in my mother’s clothes. That being said, I try to avoid wearing them
at all costs (except when I have to, like when I go to court). So, my work uniform usually consists of
separates, mainly pencil skirts and blouses.
For the past year I’ve been a huge fan of the bright colored pencil skirts from J Crew (I have yellow and green).
I think wearing a classic silhouette, but in an eye-catching color, is a
great way to add style to your work wardrobe without looking too over the top.
This weekend, while strolling
around the mall, I wandered into the Limited and found the skirt pictured above. Such a great find!! It’s just like the J Crew
skirts, but at a fraction of the price (originally $59.95, I got mine on sale,
only $39.95!!). The skirt is fully
lined, made of a nice thick fabric, and did not wrinkle, even after a full day
of wear (I despise clothes that wrinkle easily). It also comes in a bunch of really pretty
colors (I got the red and the purple).
