I was running low on creative juices this morning. I think I may have used it all up yesterday when styling my paperbag pants. And maybe stuffing wedding invitation envelopes until 1:00 am didn't help either...
Thank goodness for the trusty pencil skirt and the fact that they can pretty much style themselves! To keep my pencil skirt combo from being completely boring, though, I threw in a colorful paisley-patterned scarf. And belted it. It's what I do best. :)

I agree with you on the simplicity of the pencil skirt. And they look so polished!
I love your jewel tones and paisley - i am such a fan!
I love the muted tones of these colors. Very professional and sophisticated. Really love 'em. Your paisley scarf also spices things up!
I really like this scarf! And your heels!
i love how you tucked your scarf underneath your skinny belt i think that is so chic!! love your teal colored pencil skirt!
Adore the colors of this outfit. But then again, any outfit with teal in it is an amazing outfit. I love the little pop of red in the belt as well. Perfection. And the bangs? LOVE THEM!

Oh that scarf is such a fun added print! Oh, and I don't think anything could ever possibly look boring on you because you know how to accessorize and add "pop" with color!

Your hair looks fantastic! It's so funny that everyone's getting bangs now b/c i've been debating whether to keep mine or grow them out. Teal + red..one of my favorite combos!
Definitely keep the bangs!! We're all part of the bangs club now. :)
