What a drag when you have to go in and work for a day in the middle of the burning summer. But as I had I used as an occasion to wear the clothes that I usually avoid for the office ie linen... To me linen is the most beautiful fabric, on everyone else... on me I always feel frumpy and so no-business like. If I wear them in the office I usually try to dress it up with heels and a strict top, but today - no! All linen and frumps paired with summer slip in sandals! Skirt - Line of Oslo Top - … [Read more...] about Summer Visit @ The Office

As Wide As A Skirt
When the wide legged pants are as wide a skirt and in some angles actually look like one, thats when you know you have wide legged pants!

Neutralizing The Red
A lot of red going on this spring and summer as I renew my styles with the new red suit! When wearing this very bright red jacket I have opted to combine it with more neutral, subdued colors in order to off set the redness. When wearing a bright red with blue and white there is also the risk of feeling like a "flagship"... which I try to avoid... The red in this jacket also has a yellow note to it which makes it perfect with brown and nude. Here you see the brown top (and the bra strap....) from … [Read more...] about Neutralizing The Red
