how to make a tulle skirt appropriate for work

If there was a theme for this week, it might be plaid and cobalt blue. Something about fall just seems to be calling for deeper colors and plaid. (Why is plaid such a thing for fall? All the hot cocoa and hay rides?) This outfit pairs those fall trends with a tulle skirt, taking something that’s a little (ok, a lot) on the extravagant side and making it more work appropriate. And if tulle skirts aren’t really your thing, you could swap it out for dress slacks or a great pair of distressed jeans for a more weekend look.

1/ plaid blazer // 2/ tulle skirt // 3/ sheer sleeve tunic // 4/ amy necklace // 5/ book club glasses // 6/ d’orsay flat

PS. The Amy necklace in steel and silver makes an edgier counterpoint to a feminine skirt and pops perfectly against the bright blue top. Click to shop:
