fun with patent leather and fishnets (or a lesson in de-preppifying)

I bought this light blue knit top at the Banana Republic outlet in Atlantic City over Easter and I haven’t worn it until now because I wanted a way to de-preppify it.  So… I added some fishets and patent leather (both via the belt and shoes) and voila!  No longer preppy!

About

What would Krissie wear? Well, jeans, a really cute t-shirt and boots for one. But what I wear to work at my uber corporate, conservative New York City office is an entirely different story. But that doesn't mean it has to be boring. Welcome to my corporate wardrobe story: what I wear and how I do it for little money and lots of style.
