Who says a work outfit has to be all buttoned up and dreary? Certainly not us, and we’re not against something a little warm and cozy either, as the mercury continues to drop . . . so we’re pairing a soft slouchy sweater with a pencil skirt (which doesn’t always have to be black, natch), and mixing it up a little with some plaid mary jane pumps. Easy right? Know what else is easy? The price—with the whole ensemble coming in at under $75.
