Skirts are one of my favorite pieces to wear for work, I've worn three just this last week. I don't think women wear skirts that often in the work place. In my last two positions, most of the women I've worked with almost always wore pants. Even though our dress was casual and we wore jeans daily, we would have days or meetings that we would have to dress up for and I always chose a dress or skirt, but would be the only one! What do you prefer to wear?

This weekend I was reviewing my closet to see what items I wanted to be on the look out for to add to my wardrobe and I definitely need to get some more dresses, but it's so hard to find ones that are long enough or have a sleeve (so I don't have to wear a cardigan). I think I need to step out of my comfort zone for stores and shop at new places. On a side note, I've had these heels for years and there one of my favorites. They are so comfortable, I wish I had bought them in every color! 

Hope you guys are having a great week!

I can't believe you have to wear hosiery but...rules are rules. You always look great ~ I love your style. Good luck on finding some dresses - I can't wait to see pics!

You look fantastic! We have a "business casual" dress code at my job, but really everyone wears what they want. I almost wish I had to dress a little nicer.

Love the color combination!

At my last job, I had to dress business casual and got tired of dressing up every day. Now I can wear jeans every day and I get tired of wearing them! I wear maxi dresses about 2-3 times a week to dress it up a little!

I love skirts too! I'm actually wearing one today. My employer is business casual, but I like to switch it up between dresses, skirts, pants and jeans depending on my mood. As always, I love your outfits. Thanks for sharing :)

Love the outfit! I love wearing dresses and skirts, but you're right! It's so hard to find skirts/dresses that are long enough!

I almost always wear skirts/dresses to work and love how feminine they look (plus it's way too hot to wear pants!). Gorgeous outfit, loving that skirt :)
