Leather Weather

Wearing head to toe black can come across a little Wednesday Adams at times. It's those extra little details that make you look less like you're on your way to hang out with Lurch. The faux-leather pockets on this sweater do just that! 

Also, these jeggings have quickly pitched a tent in my "go-to" items section since I grabbed them at Rickis recently. I don't know how I can ever go back to wearing pants with buttons and zippers.

If I had a dime for every time someone asked me why half my shirt was out today, I would probably only have 50 cents actually. I could buy nothing with that.

Tweedheart

There are a few things that are good about the Fall and no, I'm not referring to Pumpkin Spice anything. 

1. The line between a skirt that's borderline too short all of a sudden seems ok with dark tights.

2. The incorporation of textured fabrics into your wardrobe.

I took advantage of both of these seasonal benefits in today's outfit. Although I paired the tweed-esque skirt and top combo together, you could still incorporate texture into your outfit one piece at a time.

The trick with mixing stripes is to to mix a bolder stripe with a subtle stripe. In this case, the sweater's thin stripes in dark shades act like the neutral in the outfit. Keep the shoe simple and you're all set.

Office Tees

There are so many things that are "frowned upon" at the office; overalls, thigh high boots, chaps, sombreros. When will these rules end, people?? However, every now and then, an item of clothing that's usually saved for Casual Fridays can sneak its way into a Monday - the tee. Pairing a t-shirt with a dressier skirt and heels makes it totally work appropriate. There is no need to try to dress it up more with bold jewelry, keep it simple with some delicate chains. 

If a co-worker dares to call you out on your casualness, here are some quick quips that are sure to shut them up:

"YOU'RE casual"

"But look how great my hair looks!"

"Your mom went to college"
