You asked for it, so it’s back!  Three Ways to wear the items in your closet.  Starting with an olive, wool pencil skirt.

BR Ponte Midi Pencil Skirt ($78)

Skirt. Color I am loving for fall: olive.  It’s just such a great neutral.  And it goes with anything.

Sadly, this olive skirt from BR is pretty much sold out, but there are lots of other great choices.  I found this Express skirt for a very affordable $35.  And I really like the slit in this Chelsea Rose suit skirt, just $26.  Plus-size? Try this LOFT wrap skirt or this Eloquii pencil skirt.

Monday. The first outfit is a mix of navy and olive, a simple, subtle combination.  This slightly oversized BR sweater pairs well with the fitted BR skirt.  If you prefer a snug fit, try this J.Crew balloon sleeve turtleneck.

For the shoes, I wanted them to match the skirt.  As you might imagine, olive shoes are tough to find.  These Sarah Flint pumps are just the sleekest.  I also like these more affordable Dolce Nome heels.

For the hair, I would wear it up.  Some kind of soft updo, like this sideways French twist.  For the makeup, keep it minimal with a sheer berry lip.

Mural Curve Blazer ($74) // J.Crew 365 Tie Neck Top ($50) // M.Gemi Rivista Heel ($278)

Wednesday.  I saw a variation of this outfit on the State of Florida’s sign language interpreter during the last hurricane (I can find inspiration anywhere), and I loved it.  Just take a simple black blazer and any feminine black blouse to create a chic, modern work outfit.  Who says dressing up for a big meeting has to be stuffy?

The interpreter’s outfit was actually a little better than this one.  She was wearing a sleek, inverted notch blazer.  I found this one from Nine West and this BR long and lean ponte blazer.

I didn’t show any earrings for this outfit (no space), but I would have gone with these pewter hoops from boohoo.

Because the colors in this outfit are so stark, I would wear my hair down.  Maybe half-up, if I need it out of my face.  For the makeup, I would use a plum blush or bronzer.  Pink might look to harsh.

Links of London Earrings ($145) // Halston Ruffled Cami ($130) // Rachel Zoe Patent Sandal ($140)

Friday. This skirt can be dressed up or dressed down, but I wanted to show a cocktail outfit.  So here it is in another of my favorite color pairings — blush and olive.

I chose this dramatic Halston tank, but it’s not available in every size.  This Cuyana tank is also a great option.  Want something with sleeves?  Try this flutter-sleeve grey satin blouse.

I adore these long chain earrings from Links of London.  For something a bit cheaper, try these $10 H&M drops.

For the makeup, I would do a dark eye.  I love these Charlotte Tilbury eye pencils; they make smokey eyes easy.  For the hair, it’s a dealer’s choice situation.  You could go for a sleek, long ponytail, or straighten the hair for a 90s catwalk style.
