Something about kelly green just puts me in the happiest mood. When you work in a fast-paced wealth management firm, you need all the creative {and calming} inspiration you can find, and this summer work outfit is one of my all-time favorite corporate mood boosters. The detail in this semi-abstract ruffle skirt from Shabby Apple adds additional gumption to an otherwise fabulous yet standard high-waisted pencil skirt, and paired with bold pops of green, like this flowy, sleeveless green ruffle top from Byer California (use code “diaryofadebutante” to receive 20% off at checkout) and this kelly green GiGi New York clutch, it’s seasonal perfection.
If your office is wary of bare shoulders, which a lot are, consider adding a green, yellow, or even black cardigan to give it a more conservative look. Cardigan or no cardigan, this ensemble could also easily transition into a nighttime date or cocktail outfit, so keep your schedule open after work for happy hour! Head down to the bottom of this post for full outfit details.
I’m still infatuated with the cut of this skirt. It does absolute wonders for your waist and makes me seriously reconsider what my other skirts are doing for my shape. Sorry, J. Crew. Step your game up.
