sweatshirt + pencil skirt.

during these summer weekends, i live comfortably and casually in swimsuits, denim cutoffs, and loose tees, tanks, and sweatshirts...and when monday comes, i can't help but try to squeeze in a few casual days at the office. i swap out clingy silk blouses for comfy cotton tees and sweatshirts, like this leopard one. paired with a pencil skirt, it still feels weekend-comfy yet looks office appropriate.

a few weekend snaps below.

how was your weekend?
what are you looking forward to this week?

beautiful day at the beach.
USA volleyball cup - USA vs. Brazil (USA won).
it was too hot to NOT get shave ice.
(leopard top via [oomph.]; bcbg skirt; i love sexy nude shoes;

I am LOVING this look! I have a few sweaters that are pretty cute and dressy, but I've never thought to pair them with a skirt. I already know exactly what I'm going to wear tomorrow thanks to this post!

I love pencil skirts! They do so much for your figure, I like mine a bit form fitting to get that nice shape and I have them in every color but black is classic!

Sweatshirt?! It looks so polished and chic! I guess it all depends who wears it and how she wears it. ;)

Most people don't realize that a pencil skirt can be paired with something other than a blouse or oxford shirt!
