The simplicity of this catalog photo caught my eye. She looks elegant and polished in a lightweight turtleneck, black trousers and simple black pumps. I had similar items in my closet, including a turtleneck that's approx. 8 years old. It's been sitting in a drawer for several years but I held onto it because 1. it still fit, 2. was in great shape, 3. was a simple, timeless style I knew I'd want to wear again someday. This kind of easy outfit is perfect for those days at work when you don't feel like getting creative and just want to throw something on!
