There's nothing like slipping into a pencil skirt to make you feel all business-y, powerful and feminine; Just the feelings I needed to evoke to get through my To Do list today. Since I don't work in a standard office (and because the sun is actually shining!) I also wore my slinky taupe tank and my favorite scarf to keep my wayward fringe out of my eyes.
I'm such a good little gardener! (*sarcasm*)

I'm heading to Montreal this weekend (I know!) and would love any shopping tips that you have. It's my first time there and would appreciate any help for must-see stores/ attractions! Thanks Lovelies!
You look awesome in your pencil skirt and I love the way you wore it with a tank and headband. Happy second day of summer! Hope you have a wonderful trip.
