Orange Is the New Black

Spring is the newest season and orange is the new black. For today at least! Surely I'll be back to onyx, but in the meantime I'm gonna play tag with the bumble bees. 

I paired this zip front, pleated-bodice dress with a long cardigan (which I love!). This lightweight cardigan has 3/4 sleeves making it perfect for this warming weather. What's more? Check out this cuff! I spent some time in DC's Eastern Market this weekend and picked up this aqua-green leather cuff. You know my love for leather cuffs, especially when they're by local designers! I finished the look with soft makeup and big hair.

What do you think?

[ The Connoisseur ]

It's very seldom that I take the edge out of my wardrobe when it comes to the office. So when I was at the ZOPHIA showroom, I was fortunate to come across the Connoisseur. This skirt packs power for any career woman wanting to be that sequin in a sea of suits.

What's more is that this skirt is a perfect accomplice to your happy hour or weekend out! Because I'm not a fan of the basic button down, I styled it two ways: a silk blouse in snake-skin print and a blue drape-neck blouse.

Today, ZOPHIA kicks off their spring PowerSkirt launch. All skirts (yes, there's more!) are custom-made in Washington, DC. [Hey, girl. Hey.] So, ladies of The District and DC Metro area, take your career wardrobe to another level and get your manicured paws on your own custom-made power-skirt.
