My business casual attire is often jeans with jackets.  It’s an easy outfit that always feels put together.  But sometimes, I want an outfit that feels more feminine.

Ted Baker Wrap Coat // Everlane Cashmere Crewneck // J.Crew Pleated Midi-Skirt // Gorjana Montcito Necklace // BR Leather Saddle Bag // BR Midi-Heel Tall Boot

Today’s outfit is from Lilly Style and mixes a navy pleated skirt with simple basics to create an outfit that is perfect for a semi-casual workplace/workday.  I would wear this on a Friday when I didn’t have meetings, but had a lunch or coffee to attend.  I would also wear it on the weekend to a brunch or a family event.  It’s pretty without being fussy.

Coat // A camel coat like this Ted Baker is a wonderful choice for fall.  The warm camel hues and funnel neck are very chic.  For a similar coat for under-$200, I recommend this Lucky Brand topper.  For plus-size shoppers, I couldn’t find a wrap-style coat, but I did find this longline coat from Marks & Spencer.

Sweater // Everlane’s cashmere collection is getting rave reviews.  Their Mongolian cashmere is advertised as pilling less than many types of cashmere, and also softening with wear.  And with the line running between $100-$150, it’s an affordable cashmere option.

The brand offers many styles, including the classic crewneck.  But my favorite has to be the lantern-sleeve sweater.

Skirt // Pleated midi-skirts are a classic.  If you love feminine styles, you need one.  And this J.Crew skirt is a fantastic <$100 option that is perfectly elegant.  This skirt comes in petite and tall, but if you need a plus-sizes option, check out this Modcloth skirt.

Accessories // The accessories for this look are simple, versatile, and equestrian inspired.  Let’s break them down.

The mid-heel tall boots lengthen the leg-line by seamlessly disappearing under the skirt.   This Banana Republic pair is a wonderful option.  They’re both stylish and comfortable.  Need wider calf options?  Anne Klein has you covered.

The bag is a simple crossbody saddle bag with a round buckle.  If you prefer a satchel, this <$50 Mellow World tote has many of the same elements in a work-size bag.

Lastly, this bar necklace from Gorjana has a versatile look to it.   I love the simple layering.  I also like their horizontal Knox bar pendant necklace.
