This is another one of my cowl neck hoodies and it is my favorite for the following three reasons:

Traveling for work is hard. There, I said it and it's the truth. It's very hard on your feet. Packing extra shoes is a pain because they take up so much space but also might not get a lot of wear. Here's a few tricks I've learned over the years.
This is one of my few skirts that is completely woven with no stretch. It's a light weight pinstriped material, good for suiting. I was experimenting with high rises when I made this skirt and while it looks good, it can be a bit constricting for one with a long torso. And of course, I had to put some slash pockets in.
I love buying clothes from thrift stores. Besides the savings in price, it also helps the planet because the greatest amount of pollution from clothing is creating the fabric. I found these pants years ago at a thrift store. I had to hem them because I'm short with short legs. The pants have a cool three button detail which makes them a little more interesting than basic black slacks.
I had some leftover ponte fabric from Walmart (don't hate me) and decided to make a colorblock skirt to use up the remnants. Colorblocking is nice because it adds interest to an outfit but can still function as a neutral depending on the colors and patterns.
I decided to add four pockets to this skirt, two on the back and two on the back. Basically, I cut the side panels in two pieces, adding an extra five inches of overlap for the pockets. I hemmed the top of bottom half of the side panels and then used top stitching to attach the two pieces together at the base of the overlap and at the sides. I figured more pockets is good for travel when you have a lot of stuff to carry around. |
