Nothing like an old standby (i.e. basic black skirt + crew neck sweater) to get you through the last stretch of a hectic work week.  My favorite part about this outfit is the darling little sweater.  It’s the dreamiest pale pink, comes with a detachable Peter Pan collar, and only set me back about $15.  I just may have to score it in another color!

Also noteworthy in the above pics is my much-treasured copy of The Gentlewoman.  I’m a die-hard fan of Murder She Wrote, so when I learned that Angela Lansbury was to be featured in the latest issue, I scoured the streets of NYC for a copy.  By sheer dumb luck, I found one at a random men’s store that Eric dragged me too.  If you can get your hands on a copy, it’s a highly recommended read.

Despite having Monday off, this has been a loooooooong week.  It’s been an endless stream of back-to-back meetings, conference calls, and after-work events.  I’m looking forward to a nice weekend of relaxing and recharging.  At times like these, the last thing I want to think about in the morning is what to wear.  So I find myself reaching for an old stand-by: head-to-toe black.  And why not?  It’s simple. It’s chic.  And when you mix up the textures and throw in a surprise element (in my case, an oversized leopard clutch), the look is far from boring.
