There is a lot going on here, granted, but if you look at it piece by piece, everything is actually quite subdued. Everything but that skirt. Still, no regrets. It’s made out of super stretchy material, so it’s a perfect sit-at-your-desk-all-day-and-look-Ma-no-wrinkles kind of skirt. We need one of those in our closets, right?

The rest of the outfit is Theory, and speaking of which, I have a theory (sorry, terrible pun): because it’s such a professional women’s staple brand, I always end up feeling extra profesh when I wear it … even when it’s paired with a loopy patterned Anthro skirt. What can I say? The mind has a great capacity for rationalizing anything the heart wants to believe.

  1. Love the skirt. I know what you mean, it is awesome having comfortable yet fabulous pieces in your wardrobe that you feel great in and know you look good in. Love the outfit too. Cheers, Michele

  2. Very cute! I think one bold pattern with monochrome (or similarly hued) accessories really pulls a look together. But I also like to wear all black so maybe I’m biased!

    • I always feel weird not defaulting to black as my neutral, but I consider this sorta-monochrome look to be at least minimalist-adjacent. Still, black 4evah!
