I hope your week is going well! It’s funny, but I always thought of myself as a pants person before I started this blog but I think that was just a function of working in male-dominated fields (consulting) and really cold climates (looking at you Chicago and Madison…). At the beginning of the year, I started a new job in a majority female office here in Atlanta and have really embraced my femininity and style. In the process, I’ve discovered that I actually love skirts (and apparently white ones (see here, here).
When I saw this skirt is Zara, I thought about it for a nanosecond before buying it in black and white. You know a piece is a good buy when you are creating outfits with it before you have even bought it! I love the split front which is sexy but not in your face. I love the ruffle detailing on the top of this shirt which elevates from basic to sophisticated. Add in my favorite Fendi pumps (love the heel!) and a pop of color clutch and I’m ready to go (location tbd….)!
Has a new job ever changed your style? How did it change?
Have a great day!

WOW Nicole, you are wearing the most gorgeous pieces today. I love the skirt, blouse, heels & bracelet. The shoes & skirt are so architecturial, too. Plus you can’t go wrong in Black+White. What a cool, bold, edgy, chic look!

I barely wore skirts before the blog and now I have been styling outfits around them more often than usual. I still prefer pants though. :-) You look great from head to toe in this look! I love the split and gold buttons on the skirt.

Lol, I’m really loving the skirts, but to dress down I still love a pair of jeans. Thanks Mo!!

Great skirt! I love the detailing and the overlap front. I used to love working in a majority female office because it was fun to see what everyone else wore and it made me bump up my style. I definitely wore a lot of heels.

Indeed very chic! I adore that skirt and the gold buttons are so classic. Also, the pop of color with the clutch is amazing, love this look.
