For some reason, I felt very First Lady-ish in this oufit. Could it be the ladylike sheath..? The demure handbag..? Perhaps the pearl necklace..? Or maybe it was just my arms of steel – not to brag, but I have been doing pushups each morning for the past month.

I sniped this skirt on eBay months ago and was waiting for the perfect rainy day to wear it. Well, I got my wish earlier this week. In fact, it was so rainy that I had to take my outfit photos indoors. And just in case you’re wondering, I don’t typically don an umbrella indoors, but I put aside my superstitions to give you guys the full effect.
Signing off now to gather up my emergency supplies. Haven’t you heard? There’s a hurricane a-brewin’!

Just another day at the office…
Whenever I’m at a loss for what to wear to work, I often find myself resorting to a classic black and white ensemble. I even have all of my black and white dresses and bottoms placed together in one corner of my closet for easy access when I’m just too bleary-eyed and unmotivated to do much thinking. It’s pretty much fool-proof dressing. The key for making this look work in the summertime is to stick with sheer, lightweight pieces. Fun accents like my polka dot skirt and bow-front blouse also help inject a little personality into the ensemble and keep me from feeling like a corporate drone.
