It doesn’t  get much simpler than a white shirt with a black skirt. In fact, it’s so simple that you could end up looking like an Olive Garden waitress or a flight attendant if you’re not careful about the look. That’s why having an interesting hemline or a trendy detail is important. On this day, I wore my Old Navy maxi with my BCBG white button down and a bold blue clutch.

My coworker, Sarah, and I are having a fab time in Chicago! On our first evening in town, we went out for some delicious Chicago-style pizza. Yesterday we attended the writing workshop, and afterward we treated ourselves to a little sightseeing. We had delicious macarons, went shopping, and enjoyed a drink at the top of the John Hancock Center. Pics from the trip coming soon!
