This is the outfit I wore last night to go browse the local Nordstrom Rack (unsuccessfully, founded nothing I liked/was looking for). It was inspired by the first outfit in yesterday's blog post, as I realized I have a fairly similar Boden jersey skirt from several seasons ago. I paired it with a white Express knit top with asymmetric neckline, which I recently bought as part of summer casual tops refresh. The Theory "denim" jacket is actually made from pale blue textured linen, a find from last summer. Since my work place does not allow denim, I am working on building a small capsule of denim-esque pieces that are dressier but serve the same purpose as classic denim pieces - this jacket will be great with skirts & dresses in the summer in the office.
Finally, the sandals are my old MPV bone gladiators. After pulling them out and wearing for the first time this summer, I realized that this will be their last (and 7th!) summer, as they are showing quite a few signs of wear. I am starting to look for a casual off white/bone/cream sandal option as replacement.
