I hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day. Personally, I didn't do too much, but I was lucky enough to get a box of my favorite chocolates from Teuscher. I've also been saving a special outfit to wear to work to commemorate the day.
I am obviously obsessed with J. Crew's Double Serge Pencil Skirt. The black that I wore in a previous post is by far the most versatile of this year's colors, and because it's sort of a "background" piece, I wear it more because I know people won't really notice its *frequent* repetition. The same cannot be said about the bright pink color:
I thought about wearing it with black, but really loved the soft romance of white with brown shoes/belt. I'm also wearing J. Crew's nude pindot tights.
I had a hard time with the white tops...mostly because the white tops I tried were either too long, too see-through, or too something and just didn't look right. This, I discovered right as I was trying to get out the door and run to work. Not sure I hit it 100% out of the ballbark, but at least in person this combo of white button-down and white cardi looked best.
Skirt, Cardigan, tights: J. Crew
Shoes, Belt: Cole Haan
Button-down shirt: Express
I have to say I am a bit concerned about the quality of this cardigan (J. Crew's bling button Dauphine cardigan). It's pilling a bit already, and the material is so thin I think it's going to get holes in it very soon. I do love the concept though.
All in all since I spent most of Valentine's Day at work--and most certainly did not do anything romantic--at least this pink skirt got me in a good mood, and hopefully didn't go unnoticed by my coworkers.
xoxo,
Lynne
