A Classic Work Look With A Pencil Skirt

I love pairing black and gray together to get a classic work look. It's always professional but more interesting than a simple monochromatic style.  I think one reason that dressing for the office can get monotonous is because we all tend to fall into work "ruts" where our 9 to 5 cycle seems endless.  I have a very demanding job, and believe me, it's very easy to just wear slacks and a button down all week long, but sometimes you want to feel a bit more confident and stand out - not just for what you're saying and accomplishing but also for your great outfit.

A pencil skirt with a sleek silhouette is a workwear staple that every woman needs in her style arsenal.  The one I'm wearing is by Olga Pastrynak. It has impeccable tailoring, is made from high-quality fabric, moves with ease and has an appropriate length.  It's also lined, which is very important for avoiding ugly lines in harsh office lighting. 

Whenever I wear a high neck top, I always pick my hair up. I like the contrast of a messy ponytail with a polished outfit.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Please let me know in the comments section below.
