Wool and silk pencil skirt - Valentino
Blouse - vintage
Heels - Christian Louboutin
Trench - Burberry
Purse - Chanel
The only problem with such a beautiful skirt is that it's difficult to dress down. (A problem I will gladly take on!) It begs to be paired with an elegant creme silk blouse or a festive form-fitting bustier, but a normal office day is not quite the occasion for that. =)
I recently started a 9to5Chic Facebook page ( it's looking pretty bare right now, but that will change soon!!). And not more than 4 months ago, I started a Twitter account (who knew it would become my quickest source for all news?)! It's so much fun connecting with all of you - I'd say it's easily the best part of blogging. Thank you for your comments, emails and for stopping by!
*love* the chic combination of the red skirt and black/nude blouse! the skirt was a great investment!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous skirt and you look absolutely amazing in that ensemble! I too love it paired with the black and cream blouse.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how you dress it down further! I'm sure you can do it!
Facebook and Twitter are LOTS of fun. I'm going to bookmark this post so that I can find you when I get home later tonight! :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a classic skirt to have in your wardrobe. I recently went to the 'Valentino Retrospective' exhibition and this skirt reminds me of his great work and timeless elegance.
ReplyDeleteOMG I tried that trench coat on the other day and it was perfection!!! I'm so jealous that you have it!!!
