Boston Love
The Boston Red Sox were never my home team before, but this week, Boston is everyone’s home team. Sending infinite love and prayers to Boston, and never been so proud to sport some Boston red and white.Please help those affected by the tragedy in Boston by donating here. Important Note: At the office, I almost never leave a shirt untucked. Because this blouse is a very thick silk and is finished with detailing at the bottom hem, I make an exception. As a rule however, 99% of blouses should be tucked in at all times at the office. And, if…

Go Stripe Yourself
I made the mistake of shooting this outfit while traveling home to Wisconsin. Why was this a mistake? Because my brothers were in tow. Let’s just say there was no shortage of Pepto Bismol jokes about this color. Whatever, dudes. You’re just jealous you can’t rock this color combo at your office. Sweater: J. Crew; Skirt: J. Crew; Blazer: J. Crew; Pumps: Ann Taylor; Cuff Bracelet: J. Crew (similar here); Necklace: Amrita Singh; Earrings and Turquoise Ring: old; Polish: Essie (Fiji)Stay Connected!

Monday Muse
Bad case of the Mondays? Well not for long, suckers. On days like today when you’re not exactly eager to face the world, try easing into a new work week with a more subdued spring fashion trend: neutrals! While bright prints and bold color combos may be stealing the spotlight this spring, Calvin Klein‘s Spring 2013 Collection as well as other design houses like Tibi (see dress below) offer us amazing inspiration for pairing together neutral pieces and colors. These neutral fashion elements more often serve as the foundation for the addition of a brighter statement piece and rarely get…

Suit Up
This spring, the sartorially astute have been sporting some seriously swanky suiting. (Ok, I promise the rest of this post is not written as one giant alliteration.) I for one can’t get enough of these stunning suits (last one, promise), and the best part of the rampant suiting trend is that these suckers are perfect for work or play. This particular full suit may be best worn at the office, but you better believe the pieces will be stepping out of my closet separately for some of my favorite après work and weekend looks this spring and summer. However, if you’re new to…

Florals: Friend or Foe?
Despite my love for the natural beauties discussed yesterday, I have been waging war on any and all floral-printed fashion items basically since I was first allowed to dress myself. For some reason, I’ve always steered clear of flowery garments because I felt like anything floral was in stark opposition to my generally classic, unfussy fashion sense. Oh how very, very wrong I was. This spring, the ubiquitous, striking floral prints are making a convert of even me. And, while not all florals are meant for the office, this silk skirt paired with the right jacket and accessories looks…

Wear It Three Ways: Take Two – Client Meeting
Take two of this week’s Wear It Three Ways is a more conservative take on the pink and navy jacket you saw yesterday. When headed to a client meeting, it’s often a good idea to tone down dramatic color combinations or patterns. In this case, I let the jacket do all the talking, throw on a tailored navy dress, and jazz it up (a little) with some gold jewelry. While this outfit may not jump off the page quite as much as the polka dot skirt seen yesterday (or what’s on deck for tomorrow), it’s definitely a reminder that less…
