Like most women, I'm a study in contrasts. I waste two hours every week watching Brad Womack make out with his harem of 30 women and I secretly idolize Snoop, then turn around and tell my sweet, loyal husband that he should be more romantic. I tell my daughter to eat all her carrots but dive right into our club pack of Mini Eggs the second she leaves the room. I sometimes get jealous of my 8 month-old because he gets to wear a onesie all day, but I write a fashion blog. The shame!
No matter how rumpled and dishevelled you are on weekends, you can easily morph, Superwoman-like, into your executive alter-ego on Monday mornings. I'm feeling totally inspired by this look from the DKNY Spring runway because you can take pieces you already own (a good white shirt and tailored pants) and amp them up with a few slammin' accessories. Real Life Runway Tip: These patent pointy-toed pumps from Spring and cute canvas bow belt from Gap will instantly give your work outfits polish and ladylike appeal. Try swapping the tan trousers for a black pencil skirt or pants or layer up with a black blazer. If you're not fond of red, have fun with electric blue or pink pumps (at Zara and Spring, respectively). Oh, and be sure to push your sleeves up to your elbows - it's a small detail but will automatically make you look more confident; don't ask why, just do it! (That must be my inner CEO talking. Now, back to work! Hee)

...we have mini eggs in the house somewhere?
yes we have...um, i mean had...
You really know how to egg each other on.
Love this RLR - I don't love red on me as a larger piece ie. top or bottom but as an accent it's insta-classic. Thanks for the reminder!!
