THE WEAR EVERYWHERE SKIRT

Before I say how much I love this skirt, l will just admit that pencil skirts used to be the bane of my existence. Constantly tugging and readjusting them as I walked, I used to think of them only as an office attire staple, kind of like a button-down top. Professional, stuffy, and something to wear to an interview, I definitely didn't ever think of them as being 'cool'.

That said, after seeing this style season after season, I've decided to embrace it and find new, dare I say 'exciting' new ways to wear it. The high waist and tailored shape are truly figure-flattering and I love this one from Chicwish because the neutral plaid print looks great with sweaters, graphic tees, silky tanks and more! I can wear it with a blazer to the office then swap out the top for a comfy tee to meet friends for dinner. I can pretty much wear it EVERYWHERE. And while I never thought I'd say it, I totally have a newfound obsession with the pencil skirt.

C’EST LA VIE

Dressing comfy doesn't mean your outfit can't also look elevated. In fact, sometimes I get more compliments when I stick to wearing standard basics. The trick is really adding the right accessories and going for styles that have standout details. A luxe bag, a pair of textured mules or a standout belt can transform even your most classic sweater and jean combination.

This c'est la vie sweater has become an easy addition to my everyday lineup. It can upgrade your favorite pair of skinnies (as seen here) and it can also take your jumpsuit or dress up a few notches.

JUMPSUITS FOR THE WIN!

The easiest (and fastest) way to pull an office, date, party (you can pretty much sub in any occasion here) look together is to go for a stylish jumpsuit. It's a one-and-done staple that looks chic no matter the event! This one from Reformation is super flattering but they have SO many adorable options to choose from right now it was really hard for me to just pick one!

Whether you're going for silky, flowy, dotted or fitted, they have a jumpsuit for every style. So just select your favorite and then all you have to do is add your go-to heels and favorite accessories for an easy chic winter look.
