Happy Friday!  I’m so excited to start sharing some of my photos from my New York City trip earlier this month.  I have a few posts planned all about Fashion Week, but I also shot a few extra outfits while I was there because I loved having the different and beautiful backdrop of NYC.  These photos were shot in Soho.   It was the windiest morning, but I loved how it made these photos turn out.

Anyway, let’s talk about this outfit.  First off, my top and skirt are both 40% off right now!  I love this white striped midi skirt.  Right now and in Spring, I’m pairing it with fitted tops like this navy one.  When cooler weather comes in, I think it will be perfect with a chunky knit sweater.

For my trip, I picked up another Henri Bendel Mini Jetsetter.  I wanted a black travel bag, and well after looking at several brands and stores decided to buy another Jetsetter in black.  I love that I can carry it as a backpack, satchel, and crossbody.  For NYC, it was perfect to store heels in so I could walk around in flats and then change when I arrived at meetings and events.  Last week, Henri Bendel announced they will be closing all stores and their website in January.  Their bags are so durable and good quality, and I was sad to hear this news.  If you have had your eye on a bag, you may want to try and scoop one up before they close next year.

Hello Ladies! This week is all about workwear, and I’m starting with one of my favorite skirt purchases from the big Nordstrom sale!  Obviously, I fell in love with this pencil skirt because it was gray.  The details on it though are what really make this skirt special.  The pinstripe gives it a professional office vibe, and the buttons and small slit make this standout from your basic gray pinstripe pencil skirt.  It’s the perfect skirt to go from work to happy hour.

I have paired this skirt with my teal top, but I really love it paired with a fitted black top.  This turtleneck is a fall and winter basics must have!  It’s super stretchy and really comfortable for being so fitted.  I can’t wait to pair it with all the  jeans and boots soon!  You could also pair it with a dark skinny jean and heels for date night.

My weekend wedding was so much fun ya’ll, and my dress was amazing!  You can see it HERE from my IG post.  After a busy busy few weeks, I’m so excited to have a super low key couple of weeks coming up.  It feels good to have a few days and weekends to just chill and relax at home before the holiday season begins.  Hope your week is going well!

Happy Friday!! I’m currently writing this while sipping a glass of wine en route to NYC!  I’m so excited and grateful for this opportunity to attend fashion week, and I cannot wait to share my trip with all of you.

While you wait for those blog posts, I have a little fall work outfit inspiration for you.  I have been adding more skirts to my work wardrobe lately.  I love separates for work, so you can mix, match, and create a variety of outfits.  This striped pencil skirt was the perfect addition.  The black and white stripe makes it work with all the solid color tops.  I love it with this pretty teal blouse.  The bow detail is the perfect touch to make it just a little special.  It’s a stretchy material, so super comfy to sit in all day or walk around.

I hope you guys have a fabulous weekend! Thanks for stopping by this week.  If you want to follow along on my NYFW fun, be sure to check out my Instagram (@karenkocich)!

Happy Friday!! I am so ready for this long 3 Day Weekend! I have so much to do before I leave for New York Fashion Week on Wednesday.  It’s my first year going, and I’m so excited for the shows and parties I am scheduled to attend.  Don’t worry I will be sharing pics here when I get back!

For all my southern gals, I have the perfect work wear outfit for our warm fall weather!  I picked up this navy lace blouse during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  It’s a super lightweight semi sheer crinkle fabric which gives it some breathability.  I wear a black cami with it since it’s semi-sheer, but it doesn’t make it too hot.  I am a huge fan of navy and gray together, so I have been pairing this top with all my gray bottoms from jeans to skirts to my favorite ankle work pants.  The style of this top makes it easily styled for both work and weekends.

I hope ya’ll have a fabulous Labor Day Weekend! If you are in a shopping mood, don’t forget about all the Labor Day Sales going on the next few days!
