in the “One Hundred”, Nina G. lists fishnets, frye harness boots and a fur stole (geez, really? who wears those?!) among the “F”s that every stylish woman must own. i’ve opted for a pair of heeled pointy-toed boots as a staple for the working girl.
how i work it: mostly with pants but i may pair it with a leather pencil skirt.
off duty? rock these with a pair of boyfriend jeans, a button down and a bad-ass leather jacket (jacket will be in an upcoming post).

Nina G. describes these as the “ultimate summer shoe”. maybe. i personally love these because i can wear them all day without getting my heel caught in a sidewalk crack.
how i work it: these rudsak espadrilles are patiently waiting for next summer when they can work it out with my flirty skirts, summer dresses, white wide-legged trousers, skinny jeans and cropped pants. basically, i plan to wear these a lot!
me
how do you feel about the espadrille, too casual for the cube or just your style?
how i work it: a love this dress because i can wear it on weekends with boots in the fall and work it to my 9to5 with a white blazer and my leopard pumps (or ballet flats).

the essentials – C is for Camel Coat
Nina G. says that the (classic) camel coat can look elegant and expensive if you get the colour right. i don’t know about all that but i happen to love my inexpensive Zara one all the same.
