There is something so elegant about a turtleneck with a statement necklace. It's effortless work chic. I was channeling an Audrey Hepburn Funny Girl thing when I decided to pair the turtleneck with these pants. I love the look of a classic top with a statement pant. Audrey of course would have worn flats, but what can I say, nothing can tear me away from my pumps; NOTHING. #HeelsGirlForLife. 

I love the color of this necklace - the blush hued crystals really makes the necklace stand out from other styles that are currently available. Leave it to Olive & Piper to always have the latest and greatest looks. I love their jewelry. You can get not only this blush collar necklace but anything from their website for 20% with my coupon code - LegalLee. Happy shopping!! 

In other news, I fly out to Aruba tomorrow and cannot wait!! I am definitely ready for some sun, strawberry daiquiris, and a ton of reading on the beach. I won't be posting this Monday, but be sure to come back to the blog on Wednesday for a post and on Friday for an exciting guest poster. Trust me, you won't want to miss her outfit!

I'll be sharing some updates from my trip on instagram & twitter while I'm away, so be sure to follow along!

I wanted to share with you all my take on a classic work look. For me, classic means trouser fit pants, a white blouse, and a functional work bag. All of which this outfit has!

I love the lace detailing on this top as it adds a touch of style to the classic office outfit. Also, you guys, i FINALLY caved and got this handbag that I have been eyeing for over a year. It is the perfect lawyer bag - it fits legal size paper (such a win) and has a zipper laptop compartment. This handbag is my new love haha. Finally, to keep the classic outfit fresh, I added rose gold accents, via my shoes & my jewelry.

How gorgeous are these Olive & Piper earrings?! I received them a few weeks ago and have been waiting for the perfect outfit to let these shine. The rose gold color is perfect for fall and the sleek shape has a very modern-chic feel that is great to pair with office outfits. I have actually had multiple court clerks ask me as soon as we have gone off-record in Court where my beautiful jewelry is from - and my answer is always Olive & Piper. Their jewelry sparkles like no other and is high quality. 



And the best news? I have a reader discount for you guys!! You get 20% off your purchase at Olive & Piper with the code LegalLee (entered at check out). If you're curious my personal favorite O&P items right now are these & this. Let me know what O&P items you like and what you buy!! I love seeing how readers style items!

This dress was my first Theory purchase, and I cannot sing it's praises highly enough! The quality is evident from the moment you touch the material. This has easily become my favorite new work dress. 

I love the subtle green-black-blue print of the dress as well. I decided to pair it with similar tones, so I went with my green-blue handbag and my navy blue suede slingbacks. Gold accessories polished the look off. I love doing bracelet stacks for the office.

In other news, last night sucked. If you follow me on instagram or twitter you know that Mode Media - one of the biggest blogger agencies in North America - filed for bankruptcy yesterday; leaving thousands of bloggers out thousands of dollars. 


It's a really scary feeling that you can sign a contract, do work and then never actually get paid. I am definitely in shock and still trying to process the whole  thing. If you are a fellow Mode media blogger - my condolences (virtual hugs all around). It's a good time to reflect upon your finances & hopefully we'll all come out of this stronger!

I hope you all have an awesome weekend, whatever you plan on doing. See you back here on Monday!

Navy & Pink

These pink pants were a purchase I made last week with the thought process of: "oh ya summer?! you think you're over?! Not a chance. I'll show you... I'll buy summer clothes to wear; take that!!"

Unsurprisingly, mother nature did not bend to my thought process, and indeed the summer weather here has come to an end. So; that meant styling these hot pink pants in a way that worked for fall. My favorite navy blazer and these suede navy pumps seemed like a great way to do that.

I really love the combination of navy & pink for early fall, so this is probably not the last you'll be seeing of this color combo here on the blog. (... in fact, if you follow me on instagram, you may have seen that I caved and bought this in hot pink). I have a hot pink addiction right now!

How stunning is this cobalt blue blazer?! A great way to shake yourself out of a work style rut is to pick one really bold item and style your outfit around that.


I love how well these statement earrings from Olive & Piper go with this look. The 'mixed media' in the earrings really makes them stand out as an item. The druzy stone, the pearl stone, and the crystal are such an unexpected (and gorgeous!) combo!

Being in corporate wear all week, sometimes it's nice to just throw on an easy dress. This wrinkled denim dress is perfect for a laid back weekend look.

In the spring, a great way to 'ease in' to your summer style is by pairing your dresses with
ankle boots. This keeps your look from being too summery with the added bonus of having warm feet haha. 

I got these ankle boots while in Curacao last month (see my trip review here). Who would have guessed Curacao would have great ankle boots?! I was definitely surprised by how great the shopping was. I've linked up 3 similar boot styles above, but also am including a widget of my favorite ankle boots below so that you can find some great spring boots too! 

Have a great Monday! To make up for my crazy busy week last week, this one is pretty relaxed. I've even got a couple of afternoons off! I'm going to meet up with one of my blogger friends tomorrow afternoon and get blog work done in a local coffee shop. I can't wait. See you all back here on Wednesday. In the meantime, be sure to follow me on instagram, facebook and twitter!
