On Tuesdays, We Wear Pink

No, this post isn't a tribute to the movie "Mean Girls," but today did feel like "wear pink to work day" at my office. If an outsider visited the office today, they would probably think an internal memo went out to wear pink on this random Tuesday.
I tend to wear bright colors especially on days where I'm in a great mood so I chose my pink azalea No. 2 Pencil Skirt from J.Crew and paired it with chambray.



Top- Old Navy
Necklace- Forever 21 (old)
Skirt- J.Crew
Belt- J.Crew Outlet
Shoes- Jessica Simspon
Bag- Kate Spade


I'm getting a lot of questions about my Kate Spade Bond Street Florence Bag so I thought I'd address it here. Yes, I wear it with everything, even if it "clashes." I actually don't think it clashes with anything because it's one of those "stand out on its own" pieces.  I truly think you can pair it with anything. I almost think it's nicer not to worry about being matchy-matchy with your handbag. It adds a little interest and dimension and it's more effortless. And also, I don't want to switch handbags everyday...that's just one more thing I never plan to add to my morning routine.

xoxo,

Veronika.

I agree V! I've been a bit surprised at how easy your new handbag pairs with a variety of color palettes! Love that you're wearing a lot of color lately... chambray and pink is such a nice combo! Hope you're having a great week. xo, tasha

I have been admiring your Kate Spade bag for a while now... so pretty. And I love this look... I love chambray with pencil skirts for a more casual but still great office outfit.

I feel like you should address where you got that perfectly placed blue doggy bone. I think it compliments your outfit nicely!

Cute combo! An office decked out in pink outfits has to be a great place to work at :-)

gorgeous outfit and I absolutely I your bag (shape and colour). Oh, I have the exact same pair of Jessica Simpson shoes too :)

You look amazing sweetie! One of my favorite looks of yours, hands-down (and that's a hard statement to make because I love your clothes).

I HATE switching bags often. I've been carrying my KS bag since I got it, I wear it a lot more then my Chanel! I think because of the soft color for Spring/Summer :)

I have that chambray top as well! I ordered it in a size tall from ON online, and its been a staple ever since. Now if only I was allowed to wear skirts to work :(

Eliza Zamora said...

I def agree with you on that, I don't own a million purses to match everything I wear! ANd you demonstrate that the pop of color only adds on! Great outfit!

I for one think the bag is cute! I don't change my bag every morning to match my outfits, that would take just too much time. Keep doing you V :o)

gorgeous outfit(as usual) and I agree, your bag is totally versatile and will go with anything. Love the soft tone of lilac. Color is so pretty!

Oh I adore your outfit. I never thought I´d be one for the more classic & chic style but you got me into loving it ;) I love your blog&have an amazing day.

V, you look stunning! The pencil skirt looks like it was made for you! And I love the color! I have a j crew belt in the azalea and it is such a vibrant color! What other colors do you own in the pencil skirt? How is the sizing on these? This is definitely a classic piece that will be with you for a long time!

I love that skirt. I wouldn't have thought to pair it with chambray but I really like it. I agree with you about the bag, it's a statement piece. I can't be bothered changing out my bag everyday either.

Sarah S. said...

Man that bag is just amazing! I'd wear it with everything, too :)

Maja said...

I will be copying this outfit....probably tomorrow! I love it! And....who said handbags had to match? You're not 95, or the Queen of England - your bag certainly doesn't have to be the same colour as your shoes (or anything else you are wearing)!

Loving this look - it's posts like this that make me miss working in the office! I now work at home, which definitely has its perks! But being a lover of all things fashion, I miss playing "dress up."

Stunning!

i totally agree about the bag. I much prefer the not-too-matchy-matchy look!

Love this pencil skirt every time you wear it! I really need to invest in a good pencil skirt too :) It doesn't matter that everything doesn't match perfect, I love the look and that it is different!

I so agree on the bag thing! Not to mention, with exercising before work something's got to give & switching bags is one of those things!
