Double Serge Pencil Skirt...this time in hot pink!

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,
