I picked up a couple things at Ann Taylor recently to beef up my professional wardrobe…you know, for that profession that I’ll hopefully have soon. In the meantime, there’s no reason I can’t break in the blazer at school. And maybe I’ll throw in a statement necklace and some combat boots so everyone will think I’m one of those girls who can mix random things together and look awesome. Is it working?

Oh, and don’t forget! I’ll be starting my leg of the Black Out challenge tomorrow! I hope some of you will join in. You don’t have to be a blogger to join, and you’ll be entered in a giveaway for an adorable fox necklace. Nicole and I will share a list of all participants each week (including your link if you’re a blogger). If you think it sounds impossible to stop wearing black for a week, check out Nicole’s pointers (and very loose rules!) here.

Wardrobe Workhorse: Striped Skirt

Happy Friday, folks. It’s time for another installment of Wardrobe Workhorse, where I pat myself on the back for getting my money’s worth from one item in my closet. Today’s winner: my striped mini skirt I got at Madewell last winter. As you’ll see below, I’ve worn it in all seasons and for all occasions. I’ve even glanced in all different directions while wearing it.

I don’t want to get too controversial, but I’m starting to think a striped skirt might be just as versatile as a classic striped tee. Yep, you heard it here first. If you’re looking to add this workhorse to your wardrobe, I’ve found a few options for you.
