Best Kept Secret


Helmut Lang Blazer.  Rodarte Tee.  BB Dakota Pants (similar style for spring).  Dannijo Bib.  
Gorjana Necklace and Rings.  3.1 Phillip Lim Satchel.  gifted DVF Booties.

Khakis aren't my thing and pencil skirts typically make my legs look even shorter than they already are. Silk pants are my best kept working girl secret (it's like wearing your pajamas to the office)! Before moving to New York I worked at an investment firm and wore these pants 2 to 3 times a week (with various sweaters and blouses of course) and since I worked with predominately men no one seemed to notice or care for that matter. I wasn't headed to a corporate office yesterday but wanted to dress up for an afternoon meeting. I paired my pants with my Helmut Lang blazer (last worn here) and a tee for a creative type meets professional look.

I am just loving your hair lately. The red suits you so well. Love the bib necklace as well :)

I am the exact opposite - being pear shaped, I have to have more slim-cut bottoms to balance out proportions...I'm always envious of those who can pull off slouchy silk pants like this because I love the style! :)

You look adorable!!! I tried on a pair of pants just like this at Zara and wondered if I could wear them in Corporate America. I know I could but I was scared, may have to go grab them!
