Outfit Details:

I have been on the hunt for a pair of shoes that are office-appropriate but also cool enough for every day wear, which is why I had to buy a pair of Madewell’s Hanne Heels when I saw they were on sale a few weeks back. Although these blocked heels make me appear much taller than I am, they are comfortable enough to wear all day. I also like that the pointed toe of these blocked heels adds a feminine touch to the tomboy style I’ve been rocking lately.

This striped top is also another item I know will be a wardrobe staple for me this upcoming Spring season. This piece may not appear to be very versatile at first glance, but it can easily be styled in a variety of ways. It can be worn with black pants/jeans or a pencil skirt for a more formal vibe. You can also wear it with a flared skirt or shorts if you’re going for a more casual look.

Speaking of Spring, I’m really looking forward for warmer weather and brighter days so that I can switch up my wardrobe every once in a while. Maybe it’s that I haven’t yet learned to dress for Portland weather, but I feel like haven’t been able to get out of either my parka or rain jacket this winter season. I’m hoping that a change in the weather will eventually lead to more sartorial experimentation for me.
