10th Commandment: January 11

Jan 11, 2013

I love a nice pencil skirt, Lord knows that I do.  But a woman cannot live by pencil skirts alone.  

Sequin miniskirts are a good option if you’re looking for something to wear to a party other than a dress.  I would pair it with a sleeveless silk shell or a gray silk blouson top for a fresh look.  Or if you’d like something modern and sleek, try a tank with a sharp cut.

Plus size? This is the closest skirt I could find.  It’s $25 and has a flapper feel to it.

Elected Official

Embellished Dreamcatcher Skirt ($189)

Hill Staffer

Gianni Bini Pelican Skirt ($109)

Paid Intern

Embellished Miniskirt ($59)

Please don’t pair this skirt with a pastel, plaid button down shirt.  I have no idea what they were thinking.

    Too funny that you posted this today! I ordered the Express skirt last week and it was delivered this morning.

    I did the sparkly mini skirt and blouson top combination for a party last weekend; it's such a nice change from the usual cocktail dress! I don't know how many sequined skirts one girl needs, but I'm lusting after that elected official version…

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
