Weekend Reading

Blazer | Theory
Sweater | Inhabit
Pants | Joe's Jeans
Shoes | Rachel Comey Mars

Just a quick look at an outfit, and some weekend reading today. Even though this week was shorter, thanks to the Monday holiday, it felt way too long. This was a casual work look, highlighting my favorite booties, which I've mentioned here before, the Rachel Comey Mars. They are a deep maroon color, and fit in well with this grey, tan and black color palette. I also think that, when paired with black skinny jeans, they make my legs look a mile long.

For your weekend perusal:
1. In the photo above, I'm ready to curl up with the recent edition of Vogue, the one with the controversial Karlie Kloss spread.

2. Did you read this article, of one woman's account of her time at Uber? Uber has since hired Eric Holder to head up the investigation into the sexual harassment claims. (That also made me think, huh, I wonder what Eric Holder has been up to, and the answer is, among other things, working with tech companies, including Uber (he has, however, pledged to maintain independence)). 

3. While fashion week is happening, I always like to save the images from the show for the end of the day, when I'm done with work, and then just binge on pictures from 10 shows, all in a row. From Vogue Runway, a look at the awesome Prada ready-to-wear show - I love all of the voluminous fringed skirts:

4. From Racked, I concur that overalls are basically the best clothes.

5. An oddly soothing video, looking at how a Lush Bath Bomb is made (Refinery29).

6. Lastly, from Glossy, a look at fashion website Garmentory - I think their model of pairing with small boutiques is interesting - has anyone ever shopped with them?

Thanks for stopping by, and have a good weekend. 

Style Dtour: Gilmore Girls - Rory

Sweater | Inhabit
Jeans | DL1961
Bag | Rebecca Minkoff 5-Zip

     Last, but certainly not least, I bring you my Rory inspired look, and wanted to thank everyone who has followed along these last few days. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving, and that these re-boot episodes deliver. 
     This is inspired by Rory's college years, where girlfriend wore a lot of sweaters and jeans, and the occasional jean or corduroy jacket. I kept it simple, pairing this cashmere sweater with my favorite jeans, and I am ready to curl up with a good book, or get involved in a love triangle. Also, while I sadly don't have a pink Birkin to pair with this outfit, I feel like Rory might have rocked this Rebecca Minkoff bag pre-Logan.

What do you think, and what in your closet makes you think of Rory?

Beige for Days

I surprised myself today with such a work appropriate outfit. Just a classic cashmere sweater, pencil skirt, and a necklace for good measure. 

I mean, you also dress to match the walls, right?

I had to find another way to break up the bland...

Sweater | Inhabit (similar)
Skirt | Theory
Necklace | Goodwill 

...and added a leather jacket for good measure. 

What do you wear when you just want to be office appropriate?
