desk to dinner
if you have been following my blog for any length of time you know i gravitate toward the classics. and a black pencil skirt is one such item. mainly because there are so many options afforded when an outfit is built on a black skirt. another classic that i love and always try to keep on hand is a pair of spectator pumps which is constructed from two contrasting colors. typically, the toe and heel cap are in a darker color than the main shoe. these shoes look great with skirts or pants, and give an outfit a little extra oomph. and if oomph is what i’m going for, a blouse with a fun pattern or pop of color is just the ticket. this particular blouse i have on for today’s ootd not only has a jazzy giraffe print, but is quilted to boot. anytime texture is brought in it acts as another layer of color. a few simple baubles, a black handbag, and this outfit can take me from the desk to dinner with ease.

Great, classic look! And the shoes add just the right amount of interest! Well done, like always! 🙂
