Pleats and Bows

Pleated skirts are one of my favorite looks! I'm about 5'1 and curvy so it's probably not the most flattering look on me, but I love the way the skirt flows when I walk and the elegance of the skirt. The best way for pleated skirts to work on my body type is to pair it with a medium sized high waist belt. 

How have you worked pleated skirts in your wardrobe?

Quarterly Business Review + Peplum

Working in Corporate American I find myself trying to figure out the best outfit to wear to work.  Still needs to be fashionable and work appropriate.  I'd looooove to wear my skinny pants with my denim shirt.  Yesterday I found this amazing cobalt blue peplum to at forever 21.

Grey is a great suit for every corporate woman to own.  This suite I have pants to go with the jacket.  I always keep it clean and ready to go at any moment.  Just in case any executive comes in town...hello grey suit!

The blue goes perfect with my nude shoes and grey tones.  Hope you like the look!

This weekend I bought the most wonderful pair of boots for the fall.  A quick trip to walgreens turned into a trip to my favorite consignment shop in San Francisco.  These books are amazing.  The second I saw them in the window, I knew they belonged in my closet.  When I asked the lady to take the shoes off the shelf, which were lightly worn, the touch of the leather made me melt.  As soon as I realized they fit like a glove...they were purchased.  And that's how I became a proud owner of Laurence Dacade...

Laurence Dacade is a French shoe designer working in Paris.  Laurence Decade designed shoes for Givenchy for 5 years and moved than to Chanel. Today she is also designing under her own label, which she founded in 2003.

Here are the shoes I purchased.  Already paired them with the perfect outfit.  Can't wait to show you more.  A few more boots from here collection.  Enjoy!
