Who here is a fan of Scandal?
I’ll admit – I’m totally addicted and DCT can attest that I act just like this when it’s on.
#GLADIATORS!
Anyways….
Besides all the sex, deceit, power wars, and scandal {pun intended} that run rampant through every episode, I always find myself entranced by Kerry Washington a.k.a. Olivia Pope’s style.
She shows time and again that you can be a strong, fearless, boss lady and look damn good while you’re at it.
Classic sheath dress? Check. Perfectly tailored pants? Check. Deliciously luxe statement coats? Double check.
Needless to say the show is a goldmine for style inspiration.
Last weekend for the Brand Market workshop I decided to take some style cues from Olivia. Who better to inspire my outfit for a day spent with fellow boss ladies?
A soft poncho in a rich camel color layered under my go-to pumpkin pea coat was the starting point for this look.
Add that on top of a cherry red mini skirt and diamond pattern tights for my own personal touch. Then finish it off with western style ankle booties – my must-have booties for the season – and a classic tote.
What do you think?
Would Olivia approve?
Thanks so much for reading!

I love pumpkin pea coat and ankle booties. Need inspiration for new Fall finds. And yes, I believe Olivia would approve!
Thanks Lyle!
