Pastels & Lace




I wore this pretty combo of pastels & lace sans jacket to the office for a day of meetings and easily moved to drinks that night, thanks to the metallic sleeves on the jacket. While my love of color is usually a little more saturated, this light touch of color got me through the cold days of early spring (yes, it's been a little while since these were taken-if you've seen recent pictures of the city, you know the flowers have been blooming & the trees have started leafing out). My favorite thing about this skirt, so obviously inspired by the Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 runway, is the way the lace extends just past the fabric underlay, giving an appearance of length & adding a sexy-but-work-appropriate touch.

Let's hope this spring weather we've been getting, ever so slowly, is here to stay! Looking forward to a bright & sunny week.

  7. Great example of a way to be fashion forward while still being work appropriate, I think this is one of the most difficult things to do stylistically but you've made it look effortless. I look forward to following your posts via bloglovin!
