Sweater: H&M [similar] | Shirt: Gap | Skirt: J.Crew Factory [on sale; limited sizes]| Boots: Steve Madden [similar]

The fog has lifted, but when I was getting dressed this morning it was THICK.  In trying to combat the dreariness of the day, I decided it was time to break out the sunshine – in skirt form.  This is another post-Christmas find at J.Crew Factory. Seriously, if you are looking for a magical pencil skirt, all of their’s are winners.  So far they are 4/4 in my closet.

When rocking a bright color, it’s best to pair with neutrals so that you let the statement piece really shine.  I went with navy/ chambray and cognac.  The navy mellows the yellow giving a more tailored feel. While the cognac boots and belt just kick it up so that the outfit looks less librarian. Throw on a chunky necklace to balance the open neckline and some simple earrings and you are on your way to a sunshiny day (yeah, that happened.

Happy Wednesday, friends!
