THE WEAR EVERYWHERE SKIRT

Before I say how much I love this skirt, l will just admit that pencil skirts used to be the bane of my existence. Constantly tugging and readjusting them as I walked, I used to think of them only as an office attire staple, kind of like a button-down top. Professional, stuffy, and something to wear to an interview, I definitely didn't ever think of them as being 'cool'.

That said, after seeing this style season after season, I've decided to embrace it and find new, dare I say 'exciting' new ways to wear it. The high waist and tailored shape are truly figure-flattering and I love this one from Chicwish because the neutral plaid print looks great with sweaters, graphic tees, silky tanks and more! I can wear it with a blazer to the office then swap out the top for a comfy tee to meet friends for dinner. I can pretty much wear it EVERYWHERE. And while I never thought I'd say it, I totally have a newfound obsession with the pencil skirt.

Transitioning from carefree weekend days to get-up-and-go workdays can be a bit rough. That’s why today, I am dressing things up a bit. I decided to put a twist on the classic white shirt and pencil skirt combo by opting for a shirt from BCBG and a skirt with a bit of texture. The result? A look that's classic, on-trend and ready to take on the busy day ahead.

Get out there and get after it!

I always find it hard to figure out what to wear this time of year. Ugly sweater season has passed, winter sales are at their peak so you’re tempted to stock up on “old” styles and it’s definitely not warm enough to try on any spring trends yet. It feels like a bit of a fashion limbo. And here in Los Angeles, when temps never drop below 60, it can start to be a little uninspiring. That’s why I always think it’s important to stock up on a few fail-proof pieces. A great pencil skirt, a houndstooth print, a trench coat— these things will never go out of style. And today, I paired two of my favorite go-to pieces for a look that’s great for a day of running around town. What are some of your must-haves right now?
