Weekday Chic

When I have a last minute meeting and don’t have time to think about my outfit, I throw on a button down and pencil skirt.  This chambray shirt + leather pencil skirt has been a go-to outfit for me.  It’s put together, but not too formal so it easily transitions from day to night.  I’m loving this black leather pencil skirt from Nordstrom paired with my favorite simple nude heels.  I wear these heels with everything (I honestly can’t recommend them enough.)  Nordstrom carries them in a variety of colors and textures – I’m torn between the red and leopard!

    Another great look, Kat! I’d wear this look in a heartbeat! I’ve been eyeing SWs in nude for a long time myself! If I had to pick for you, I’d do red since you seem to have lots of leopard in your closet already. Can’t wait to see what you pick!

    Hi,
    I love the Rails shirt but the link you provided is a different shirt than the one you’re modeling. Yours doesn’t have buttons. Do you know where I can find the cambray shirt you’re wearing in the pic? Thanks.
