I like my LBDs how I like my coffee – with a healthy dose of cream.

Just kidding. That’s too cheesy even for me. Although I do take cream in my coffee. And I do dig this black and cream combo. I think this dress is going to be a great standalone for a quasi-fancy event in the spring or summer, but in the meantime I’m figuring out how to get away with it at work in the winter. For the full effect, try to picture me sitting at a desk doing lawyerly things. And drinking my creamy coffee, of course.

I’m so glad I decided to buy this skirt. I thought about it for a while because technically I already had a black faux leather mini skirt, and how many do you really need? In my case, it turns out I do only need one, I just need it to be this one. My other one (worn here and here) is great, but the [shorter] length and [sassier] shape made it much less versatile. This one is demure enough (or as demure as leather can be, which is exactly the level of demure I prefer) that I can wear it to work, as I did here.
