I broke out these leopard-print pants from last fall for a dinner date al fresco a couple nights ago. It was so nice to be out in the evening, watching the sunset in a light blouse and no jacket!

I love the time of year when I get reacquainted with my summer dresses. It feels like I have a brand-new wardrobe at my disposal! This anchor-print dress was just waiting for a sunny summer Sunday to put in an appearance.

Work Outfit: No-Fuss Neutrals + a Poshmark Review



Blouse: J.Crew (on sale!) (last seen here) | Skirt: H&M (similar here) | Belt: Ann Taylor | Sunglasses: Valentino | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Reed Krakoff (available at Bergdorf's and Neiman Marcus | Necklaces: Brian Gavin, Theresa Mink | Bracelets: Tiffany, Swarovski | Watch: Fossil

Happy Friday! I wanted to share another work outfit with you--this blouse has been so versatile that it's been getting a lot of wear for both work and play (see it styled more casually here). While I love incorporating color into my work wardrobe (like this past Monday's cobalt blue), neutrals are my office mainstay. Not long ago, I began hunting for a new pair of work-appropriate neutral pumps to give my much-loved Ann Taylor pair a break.

Around the same time, I decided to join Poshmark, an iPhone/iPad (free) app and shopping site where you can easily sell and buy other ladies' clothes and accessories. I have been thinking about joining for a while, but I was feeling a little hesitant. Once I started browsing through other users' closets, though, I realized a lot of them were very similar to me, and it was a great forum to sell some of the not-quite-right online purchases and items I've worn only once or twice. I was browsing shoes in my size when I came across the pair of perfectly neutral Stuart Weitzman heels I'm wearing here. They were authentic, brand-new, and a third of the retail price, and they were an instant hit. I've been really impressed with the app, and when I ended up selling something the other day, the shipping and payment pieces were super-easy. If you're already on Poshmark, come say hello--I'd love to see your closet!
