Sweater and Midi Skirt Outfit
Hello Hello! You are not off on your days, I am changing my posting schedule up this week. I have a surplus of fun content to share with ya’ll, so I’m going back to my Mon/Wed/Fri posting schedule for a bit. I’m excited to be back on this schedule and can’t wait to share more with you each week!
One of my favorite fall and winter workwear looks is a sweater and midi skirt outfit. I love a chunky knit sweater paired with a longer skirt. Two sweater options for this look are to go with a shorter slightly oversized sweater like this gray one or a fitted tunic length one. I couldn’t pass up on this gray and pink color combo, so I went with this shorter knit for this look.
Ya’ll this skirt is drop dead gorgeous!! It’s going to be perfect to pair with a fitted body suit for a holiday party later this year or for date night. It has the prettiest pink metallic shimmer. I love the pleated look to increase the beauty of this skirt both walking and standing still. This midi skirt is also really comfy! Because it is a longer midi skirt on my 5’3 height, I opted for a nude heel to help elongate the look and keep it from looking frumpy.
A sneak peek of my content for the week – I’ll be talking my favorite subject SHOES and the most perfect leopard print blouse under $50! See you back here Wednesday and Friday for all the fall fashion fun!

WorkWear: Red Midi Skirt
I have mentioned before that red is such a power color for me. It’s the perfect color to add to your work wardrobe for a some good girlboss vibes. I picked this red midi skirt up in store during the Nordstrom sale. I liked the details of the wrap look and the belt design to make this stand out just a bit from an average pencil midi skirt.
This red skirt will pair well with any fitted top. I really liked it paired with this black turtleneck for a polished and professional look. I kept my jewelry minimal to really let this skirt be the statement maker of the outfit.
I hope ya’ll have a wonderful week and thanks so much for taking some time out of your day to stop by!

Thanks to a gorgeous plaid I purchased over the summer, I found my two new favorite colors to mix together – navy and burgundy. My love affair with the color burgundy led me on a hunt to find a pair of pants to wear to work. I expected to find them everywhere, but I ended up finding them at only one store! I guess not everyone has an obsession with the color like me. The basic route would be to pair these pants with black or white which I completely plan on doing, but I wanted to showcase how gorgeous this color looks next to navy.
Much like I used dark teal and berry pink as a play on traditional Christmas colors in this post, the burgundy and navy could be considered a patriotic nod. I think the darker more jewel toned shades add a nice sophistication to this little color mixing work outfit. The pieces may be a basic work look, but the bold color choices make this anything but basic! I did opt for my pair of basic nude heels to really let the color pairing shine in this look. My sweater is currently on sale, and these pants are currently on major sale at 60% off making them only $26!! You definitely don’t want to miss that price tag!
I hope everyone has a wonderful first full weekend of the new year. My mom, sister, and I are going on a mother-daughter date to the symphony this weekend. I haven’t been in awhile, so I’m excited. The one we are seeing is Cirque de la Symphonie all set to film scores. It will definitely be a fun and new experience! See ya’ll back here on Monday.
