The Workday That Runs Straight Into a Reservation

The Workday That Runs Straight Into a Reservation

Some days start at a desk and end at a table with a menu. This set is made for that stretch: a soft knit on top, wide leg trousers below and a low block heel to finish. It suits a small closet and a small budget, since each piece also works on its own.

  1. The sweater for the first chilly walk to the bus stop

    The sweater is a blend of 45% nylon, 30% acrylic, 20% viscose and 5% wool, so it reads as a light knit rather than a heavy wool one. Ribbed cuffs and hem frame a loose fit. Wash it cold in a laundry bag and dry it flat. It is the soft layer that starts the set.

  2. The block heel pumps for date night after a long day

    The pumps have a pointed toe, an ankle strap and a chunky block heel of about 2.5 inches. Inside is a 3MM latex padded insole, and the TPR rubber outsole is made to grip. The upper is suede or polyurethane. Nude or black keeps it quiet, but color is a matter of taste.

  3. The wide leg pants for Monday morning and Friday night

    These trousers are 100% polyester, a lightweight suit fabric, cut high waisted with a wide leg. They close with a zip and button, and have an elastic back and a side pocket. Machine wash in a laundry bag, hang to dry, and iron low if needed. They tie the knit and the heels together.
