ESSENTIALS #1: Leather Pencil Skirt

Hello Dears!

This is the first of a series of posts I'll be doing with specific garments that can kick any wardrobe up a notch ;)  We all have heard about “The Basics”, you know black blazer, white button down shirt, etc, my intention is to bring you "The Essentials" (wonderful items that add ESSENCE! to our closets) things that can take us from Basic Girl to a Fashionable One! :) Sometimes we want to stand out but we are also smart about our budgets and obviously we want to optimize our clothing as much as possible so I am showing you 3 ways that today’s item can serve many purposes, that way you are not buying a “one occasion garment” :) 

The LEATHER PENCIL SKIRT it’s a wonderful alternative that adds edge and personality to an outfit, not to mention that it's so NOW since we've seen the leather trend all over, since last year. There are different options and price ranges and here are a few options if you decide to give this Essential a try ;) :

$ Sears $29 USD
$$ ASOS $86 USD
$$$ Nordstrom $137 USD
$$$$ Net-a-porter $1533 USD

Let me know if you like it and Thank You for stopping by!

Work & Play

Hi Dears!

Tomorrow is Thursday and as I say the weekend is "Unofficially" starting! wohooo :) When I have plans for drinks after work on Thursday's or Friday's I prefer to go straight from the office to the bar or restaurant, otherwise if I get home after a long day of work I tend to hesitate and sometimes even flake on the plan, specially during the winter because once you get in the house and start getting cozy you might prefer the idea of a movie with some hot cocoa right? But then, the day after, everybody start sharing the pictures of all the fun they had (without you :( ) and cracking jokes about the best moments of the night and you regret not being there for it...My solution? Bringing 1 or 2 things in my car that I can use to easily morph :D from "office appropiate" to "ready for drinks"!! Here are 2 options one for Thursday and one for Friday, hope you like it :)

Thanks for stopping by!

PS: If you are wondering about the lovely blouse it is one of my best finds of the fall, it is from Target and it is only $25 DLLS! I have paired it with so many things and always get compliments on it because of the colors (pretty much goes with any complexion) and the faux-leather detail on the shoulders, definitely doesn't look $25!!
