The Longest Short Day
20 Jun
Top – Gap | Shorts – The Limited | Necklace – New York & Company | Shoes – Nine West
Another hot day so another day of trying to stay cool while looking professional. Now, shorts are probably not the most professional thing out there and normally I would save these for a Friday, but since my boss was out of the office today I figured hey, why not?
Although, since they are the same length as a pencil skirt, there really isn’t that much difference. Pair them with some heels instead of flats and you’ve got one comfy but classy outfit.
P.S. Check out the post by my latest closet consultation! We took her from looking like a Southwest flight attendant to using items she already owned to punch up her wardrobe!


A reader recently contacted me and asked for help with a pair of ankle boots she just bought.
Right now I’m pretty happy with my closet. But even so there are days when I stand there and stare at all the hangers and think, “I wish I had….”
I’ve had all of these clothing pieces in my closet for a long time. I keep wavering on whether or not to keep the cardigan and then it keeps staying.
Pairing the fancy sequined skirt with a neutral colored cardigan and nude heels helps keep it from being too bling-y or overwhelming.
The fact that I paired two pieces that could be considered slightly casual but added heels and a blazer makes my outfit work appropriate without being traditional.
