What to Wear to Work | Layering + Camel Skirt

Since spring has finally arrived in NYC, I'm slowly starting to transition my wardrobe from black trousers to pencil skirts. Today's outfit shows one of my favorite pencil skirts from J.Crew. It can be worn with bright colors, like the one I'm wearing above, or it can also be worn with a basic white shirt to the office. Either way you wear this skirt, you'll always look professional at the office. I find it most flattering for my body type to pair pencil skirts with a basic nude pump. The nude pump elongates my legs. For those ladies who work in the office, if you haven't invested in a basic nude heel, trying adding it to your closet this season. You'll find more that nude heels provides more versatility to your wardrobe.

Spring Look | Vibrant Yellow + Pattern Skirt

Spring has finally arrived in New York City! Goodbye wool coats and hello bright colorful outfits.  This season I'm loving everything yellow and pale pink. Like this vibrant rain coat and this floral dress. My recent purchase of white denim has given me so many outfit ideas for the spring and summer time. I'm especially loving the idea of wearing white jeans with my favorite blazer from J.Crew and a fedora hat. I'm also loving  the idea of wearing a simple tee with a pattern scarf with my white jeans. So many looks I can't wear this season! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend with their family and friends. We bought Batman a trailer for our bikes, so we'll be riding bikes around the city over the weekend. Happy Easter!

Spring Style | White Dress + Trench

After living in New York for two years, I've realized that outerwear is essential for my daily wardrobe. Since it's something I wear daily from fall to spring, I tend to invest more in my outerwear wardrobe. For example, a classic trench, like the one I'm wearing above is a good transition piece for spring. With Piperlime closing their doors at the end of the month, I'm keeping my eyes on a few jackets for spring. I'm lusting over this gorgeous Joie jacket and loving this powder blue coat and Parisian style striped jacket for cooler weather.
