Silk and Chiffon

So yesterday was my birthday.  I had to work, but I wanted a pretty outfit.

Skirt:  Ann Taylor

Jacket:  Torrid (Available here)

Necklace:  11 Twenty Eight Designs (Similar here)

I opted for my incredibly shrinking chiffon skirt (I've had it hemmed twice now - see here and here) and mixed it with a plum silk camisole.

Camisole:  Ann Taylor Petites

Since the top is a little low cut, I threw on a scarf for coverage.  A lightweight cardigan kept me warm in the office.

Scarf:  LOFT
Satchel:  Express

Cardigan:  LOFT Petites

For dinner later that evening, I ditched the scarf and opted for a faux leather moto jacket to add a rougher touch to the overtly feminine look. 

Purse:  Eva Mendes for New York & Company (Available here)

I can't be all softness and light!  ;-D

Boots:  Fergalicious by Fergie

Tights:  The Limited

Girly Details

Hope your week is treating you right! 

Dress:  LOFT (Similar here)
Blazer:  eShakti

Yesterday for work, I took an already feminine fit-and-flare dress and added a pink eyelet blazer and floral lace-up heels for a look with a lot of girly flair.

Shoes:  Prabal Gurung for Target
Bracelets:  The Limited

While I love a grown-up romantic and feminine look, I usually don't like to go over-the-top girly.  This outfit strikes a good balance to me.  The shoes have just a touch of edginess, and the blazer adds structure that helps offset the bubblegum pink color.

Clutch:  Target (old)

How about you?  Do you enjoy a girly look?
