Sighhhh. Is it Monday already? On the upside, at least, another work week means a prime opportunity to try our latest office style idea: contrasting a not-so-basic black dress (we’re obsessed with the elegantly draped fabric on this one) with gray and tan add-ons. Although you’re free to switch up the exact silhouettes—this ensemble, for instance, would look equally great with a more menswear-inspired coat—we highly recommend sticking to slip-on shoes. After all, no laces to tie = at least two extra minutes of sleep. We’ll take it!
