Formulaic

{J. Crew shirt and shoes (on sale!), Adam Lippes skirt, target sunglasses gifted pearl earrings and necklace, gifted ring and bracelet, Michael Kors watch}
This skirt is one of my closet staples. I feel positively ladylike in it, and it's perfect for dressy yet conservative occassions. I wore this outfit for an in-class presentation (public speaking- my greatest fear!) that required business casual dress. 

I've duplicated this look several times here on the blog, mostly because it's so easy to recreate. When I'm in a pinch and need a professional yet pretty outfit, my formula is pretty simple:
button down + high-waisted skirt + heels + necklace

These shoes have quickly become a go-to of mine. I love the detailing, and they are so versatile. I highly recommend them (and they're on sale!).


In other news, my first column for CBS Los Angeles is live. I picked my favorite vintage and thrift spots in Los Angeles- check it out here!
