Wearing Now: Chambray and Florals

Chambray tunic - H&M
Floral silk skirt - Dolce & Gabbana
Belt - J.Crew
Necklace - J.Crew
Heels - Emporio Armani
Purse - Chanel

I'm officially calling an end to a fantastic Labor Day weekend!  We were in Denver from Friday evening to Sunday early afternoon and enjoyed a stay-cation at home from then until today (Wednesday)!  I think this is exactly the kind of travel we're going to do from now on - a few days for actual travel and a few days for recovery and relaxation at home. 

For the outfit I took a cue from a few recent J.Crew catalogs.  I took a fussy, dressy silk flowery pencil skirt and tried to toughen it up a bit.  The end result?  Something I feel is equal parts casual and dressy, and 100% office appropriate.  A fun way to walk in after a five day hiatus. =)

Hope you have a wonderful day!
