A wise lawyer friend of mine, Chantal Sotinwa, once told me that she didn’t need anymore everyday pieces in her wardrobe! Speaking of friends, I’ve been thinking of doing a short video series where I interview friends of mine (15 minutes or less per interview) about their life and style. Tell me in the comments if that’s something you would be interested in seeing. Anyway, Chantal said “If it’s not standout or statement additions I don’t need it,” That statement was profound to me and though she said it years ago I keep it in mind when shopping to this very day.

I love the brand @gozelgreen for the way they add eye-catching detail to their pieces. With a few changes in my style choices, I took the “pinch” skirt from work to slay and this piece is the perfect addition to your wardrobe if you love pieces that can be restyled for work, dates, church and any other occasion where great style is key!
