hello april
can you believe it’s april, ladies? march has come and gone (january and february too) in a blink. okay, the inclement weather seemed to drag on forever. but april has arrived, and i’m certain those showers aren’t far behind. who is ready for a new month? spring? how about monday? two out of three isn’t bad.
if you are a working stiff like me then you will love today’s nine-to-five ootd i scored at Dillard’s clearance rack last week. this skirt and top ensemble are by my all-time favorite designer Ralph Lauren. what i particularly like about a matching skirt and top is that they act as a dress for a no-fuss-no-muss look. but when pulled apart they are independent separates that can be mixed and matched with your wardrobe. that’s a win/win in my book.
similar skirt | similar top | similar shoes | similar handbag | similar belt | similar necklace | lip shade darling
many of you will be disappointed that this outfit isn’t shoppable. but it serves as a great example of shopping the clearance rack (you never know what you will find), the importance of separates (mixing and matching), and how simple a nine-to-five outfit can be. plus, i needed a cute ensemble to highlight this three string necklace my future daughter-in-law had given me for christmas. a special gift needs a special outfit. right?! exactly.
even corporate america has casual days where you can ease into the office in a dress. add a structured handbag and pumps for a polished look. but don’t forget a bold lip and manicured nails.
happy monday, and happy april!
Another great look. Lovely! And versatile with lots of other things–love it! Happy April!
As Meatloaf used to sing, two out of three ain’t bad!
