Winter Prep

preppy office style - J.crew pencil skirtWinter and colder temperatures is no excuse to let your skirts sit idle in your wardrobe. Grab a great pair of boots, over the knee variety ideally, and wear your your skirts heart out! It’s also a great way to wear skirts to work while still not showing much or any skin and staying conservative for the workplace.

On a totally different note, Mr.A and I have been watching Making a Murder and it’s driving me crazy! I’m only on episode 5 and I am desperate to watch the next episode. If you are like the rest of (seemingly) the nation and are also watching Making a Murder, you should check out the podcast Serial. I listened to it last year and it’s the same sort of story. If you like Making a Murder, you’ll like Serial, trust me!

    Such a great classic look! Love your boots. I keep hearing about this t.v. and I had no interest in seeing it, but now I feel like I have to because of all the hype about it. It also happened in my home state, which makes it even more interesting.
