Gray and Blue

Gray, blue and black together sound kind of boring but I think my look yielded sophistication with a dash of color. This skirt was perfect for blocking the unkind wind.I was going to wear a chunky knit sweater but I’m glad that I wore this cropped jacket to help create a sleek and proportionate silhouette. The only thing that I didn’t like about my outfit was that the skirt was a tad cumbersome. I kept stepping on it, dragging it on the floor and it getting caught under the wheels of my chair at work. Luckily, I managed not to fall or rip my skirt. I love avoiding a potential fashion crisis.

Wearing the Pants

I think I’ve mentioned before that I have a fascination with skirts and dresses. As of late, I’ve tried to merge pants into my wardrobe. Not only because of the weather but also because I feel that pants can give a oufit a sleek and smart look. Sometimes I find pants to be too serious and confining but these pants (Material Girl)  are a little different. I like the pattern and the flattering fit (I attribute that to the bit of spandex incorporated in these pants).These are fun and have good range. I can dress them up or make them a bit more casual.

On another note, I’m impressed with the Material Girl collection. While the line is fresh and youthful, I manged to spot some pieces that won’t make me look like I’m trying to be a teenager. Yay!

Mondays

We’re still on this stretch of great weather. Typically by this time of year, you can expect frigid temps and dare I say it- Snow! I guess that will all occur soon enough. I decided to take advantage of the unseasonably pleasant temp and wear this cute Calvin Klein sweater dress. It has a relaxed fit and the color is neutral making it easy to pair with any other hues. I paired it with this spritely colored top and tights to prevent from looking too drab.

I hope no one out there has a case of the Mondays (like me). I woke up feeling like Mondays are the worse days EVER. Hopefully I can get out fo my rut soon.
