Start with a great skirt



Some pieces of clothing are absolutely meant to be worn when you need to feel like ultra-feminine and stylish.  For work, I typically wear classic straight trousers/dresses/pencil skirts (shocker), and I rarely stray from shapes or cuts that I'm comfortable work with my figure.  I decided to break from the typical business casual attire and wear this Emily Hallman 'Cecilia' skirt.  I must say, I felt so ladylike, chic and comfortable in this outfit... which is the ultimate outfit perfection.

I will just give a tiny warning about this skirt - while there are infinite options to style this and I got tons of compliments on it - it did make me feel the need 'twirl' quite often while wearing it.  A need which I indulged... often.

    This is such a beautiful combination; I love it! The little pops of orange are fabulous on you (I know it's your go-to color! And for good reason!)

    You are great... one of my favorite bloggers!

    The only thing that could have made the skirt better is if it had been leather. Leather skirts rock & you can totally work one!

    Y'all know by now that I LOVE a good full skirt that's perfect to twirl in! I'd love it in about 6 colors, but I have the ivory version that I have worn 3 times in the past month--with a simple tee or great blazer. I can't tell you how much I LOVE the beautiful way Sarah has styled it! I love navy and orange together, and the blouse with a belt is such a smart combination. So modern and classy and PRETTY!! Great job, Sarah (as always)!
