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.
