Cobalt Go-Tos.

A striped tee and a pair of skinny trousers in classic khaki is a go-to office outfit for me. Best for mornings when I’m not feeling particularly daring (or awake, let’s get real), so I grab something foolproof.

You can’t go wrong with cobalt blue stripes, and this Zara tee gets a lot of play in my wardrobe. Leather ballet flats in that same shade of bright blue give a nod to the matchy-matchy, broken up by skinny trousers from The Limited’s Exact Stretch line. (These babies stay skinny all day; no bagging or drooping.) A gold tassel necklace and a leather wrap watch checked the accessories box, and a neon coral lip helped camouflage the fact that I would’ve rather been back in bed.

  1. Confession– other than when it was part of my school uniform, I have NEVER owned khakis….and I don’t think I’ve ever owned a striped top either! I just don’t do well in preppier pieces. That being said— you look great, and totally at ease! LOVING the necklace!

  2. Look how cute you are, friend! LOVE it! I am a fan of anything striped, and those flats are too cute. Also, obsessed with that tassel necklace!
