Obviously, I’m wearing an outfit here, but let’s face it: it’s all about that skirt. It’s a good one, you guys. A nice silhouette with the added bonus of stretchy, feels-like-pyjamas material. And that print — oh, that print. That print, is a perfect example why Neoclassical Aristo-Quirk (thanks, Cassie!) is the name of my style game, and Minimalist never will be.

The rest of the outfit is, dare I say it, pretty basic … and colour-coordinated, as is my wont when an eye-catching print is in the mix. The overall effect is definitely on the casual side of “business casual” but it squeaks by. It’s days like these when I wish I worked in a business with a creative dress code.

  1. I am always amazed how you take bright, bold patterns and always turn it into a classic, polished look. I wish I had to confidence to try it. I tend to stick to black and greys in professional setting as I am afraid of fashion fails.

    • I think everyone should try a little colour, but I totally understand about comfort zones too. Perhaps you could experiment a little with accessories?
