Happy Monday! I’m liking the cheerful colors of this belted cotton cardigan from Matthew Williamson. Because the colors aren’t exactly conservative, the rest of the outfit has to be — so I’d wear it with gray trousers or a pencil skirt, simple black pumps, and a white silk shell beneath. I like the look of it with a scarf (as it’s styled in another of the pictures) , but think it also might look nice accessorized with a long silver chain. It’s $595 at Net-a-Porter.

I’m not normally into the military trend, but something about this blazer just looks fabulous. Love the bit of lining sticking out on the cuffs, placket, and hem (is that satin? silk?) and the color and shape seem flattering and sophisticated. (I suspect it’s on sale because the model’s pose does such a poor job of showing the blazer!) Was $425, now $255 at Bloomingdale’s Winter Sale & Clearance (sizes 0-8 still left).

First, Net-a-Porter is having some lovely sales right now. This silk blouse is not among those sales — but it’s interesting because, at least according to Net-a-Porter, this pale blush pink is going to be the hot color next season. I like this blouse in any event — the sleeves are draped artfully, the pleat at the neck/placket is interesting but not fussy, and the simple neckline is nice. I’d wear it with a white camisole, layered beneath a gray suit. It’s $545 at Net-a-Porter. Stella McCartney Draped-front silk blouse

So I have been seeing the peep-toe bootie every.where this season, usually styled with skirts or cropped pants. And I always think the same thing — “Cute! But definitely in that ‘I’m-so-hip-I-don’t-need-to-wear-flattering-clothes way.’” You know, like harem pants and those huuuge 80s-ish glasses that some kids wear. The peep-toe bootie trend also strikes me as completely inappropriate for the conservative office, at least when worn with skirts. (Pictured: Sam Edelman ‘Wakefield’ Wedge Bootie, available at Nordstrom for $199.95.)
But then I started wondering — is my gut reaction shared by others? After all, peep toes have come a long way, baby…
Readers, what are your thoughts? Which newish trends will you be trying at the office this year?

We’re in a pencil skirt kind of mood today, and we’re loving this on-trend skirt from J.Crew — florals continue to be everywhere, and we like the lovely pattern on this (inspired by “a vintage scarf the designers fell in love with”) and the basket-weave cotton. We’d go for a tone-on-tone look and wear it with a navy top and, perhaps, a navy blazer or sweater. It’s $98 at J.Crew. Canterbury bells pencil skirt
