When you’re in a rush on a weekday morning, the black work dress is like Superman. It swoops in to save the day when you have a fashion block and need to be out the door in 5 minutes or when you spill your tea all over yourself and need a quick change. Been there, done that on both accounts. Lately though, I feel like my black work dress needed a facelift.

I was pawing through my closet trying to solve my dilemma when my eyes lighted on a hot pink gingham button down. It should have been packed away with my summer clothes but serendipitously, the gingham was still hanging around.

love how the bright pink pops against the black to breathe life into my tried & true BWD. A quick fix for layering under any neutral colored work dress. And bonus: it takes less than a minute to throw it on in the morning. DC Girl in Pearls | Fall Layering for Work ft. J.CrewDC Girl in Pearls | Fall Layering for Work ft. J.Crew

    You look very polished Lauren Anne. Are those new nude pumps- no longer Jessica Simpson?

      Actually I’ve had these pumps for almost 4 years! They’re Ralph Lauren ivory snakeskin that I snagged at Loehmann’s. Jessica Simpson nude pumps are still my go-to, wore them today 🙂
