Dressing Dilemmas: Monday Morning Edition

Some people lay out their clothes for the next day the night before, some wait to see what they feel like in the morning, others (ahem) lay awake at night, mentally going through their closet as if their brains were wired the same way as Cher's closet. But no matter which option you choose, putting together an outfit is hard work... So to help you all out... Here are my picks for the day.


































I love the gold buttons on this J.Crew's cardi, especially layered over something more feminine, like the Generra Ribbed Ruffle Top. Pair it with your favorite jeans (for class) or some Alice + Olivia Boy Trousers (for work,) a structured brown bag with gold hardware, some gold jewelry, and and a classic brown shoe, and you are set for the most frustrating Monday mornings...

For a really fashion forward look, try an adding an unexpected color... Purple and green contrast in such an amazing way. And these gorgeous Giambattista Valli Suede Peep-Toe Slingbacks would peek out perfectly from under the hem of wide leg trousers...
