There were a few requests last week to show my Eileen Fisher skirt on after this post (what, small photos of my headless torso aren’t enough for you??) so here it is! I wore it to work and to keep it a little more casual I paired a soft chambray shirt on top.

I’ve made a few shopping purchases lately but I have to say that my favorite purchase by FAR this season has been my awesome new Kindle Paperwhite. I’ve had the older Kindle for quite some time now, and it was almost perfect except for the fact that there wasn’t a built in light (I like to read in night in bed without disturbing my husband) and it was a little heavy. The new one is much lighter and smaller with a built in backlight – you can see the comparison below.
I also love my new case that I bought for it, designed by Amazon. The price of a case has always been hard to swallow for me especially since in the Kindle’s case it is basically 1/3rd the price of the device. However a case is essential in my opinion since the screens are easily broken, and they’re very nice. So if you get a Kindle I’d recommend one. And if you are a reader and haven’t tried a Kindle or a similar e-reader I’d seriously test one out! They’re amazing and have changed my reading life, I plow through so many more books now, now that I always have a little collection handy.
Thanks for reading and hope your week is starting off well!
Thanks for your review on the Kindle Paperwhite and case – so helpful! Does the EF skirt retain its shape pretty well (or does it get more and more stretched out and lose its shape, or pucker up along the seams)?
I LOVE my Kindle so you are welcome! The EF skirt seems to retain its shape for now and the reviews are great (http://www.eileenfisher.com/EileenFisher/PRD_SBTK-S1739M/Foldover+Short+Skirt+in+Washable+Stretch+Crepe.jsp) but what I did was buy it from Nordstrom which I always trust to take back items if they start to stretch out, pucker, more than normal wear and tear.
Thanks Katherine – I’m a huge Nordstrom fan as well!
The skirt looks great on!
Happy Monday Hun xoxo

My husband and his reading light drive me nuts at night, he’s sticking with books as he’s an old fogey!
you look very nice! love the bag!! xoxo
I love the shirt. I like that you kept it simple!
Love how you combined all these pieces!
I know what you mean. I love my Kindle. I was borrowing (read: keeping indefinitely) my sister’s and decided to purchase my own. I’m a little jealous that you have the paperwhite model even though I bought my Kindle when I knew Amazon was about the release the newer models, including the paperwhite model. I picked up for under 50 bucks, so I guess I can’t complain too much.
I gotta admit that my Kindle’s gone naked these last few months, since I haven’t found a good option for a case. I’ll definitely have to check out your recommendation.
Under $50 is an amazing deal, and I love my old Kindle too – I carry mine in my bag sloshing around with everything which is why I need my case. So glad to meet another Kindle lover!
really love kindle!nice look too:)

I have been eyeing a nice soft denim shirt for a while too. I considered it during early fall but now it is getting so cold up here it’ porbably not going to be a smart purchase for me anymore
The skirts looks perfect on you!
For the time being I’m going to stick to paper books and my iPhone. Maybe I will switch to Kindle in a few years.
LUXESSED
I’ve been thinking of getting a Kindle for the longest time. I have the app on my iPhone but gosh, the words are tiny and it drains the battery very quickly.
You look great as always K! I have the Barnes and Noble Nook but I got it when it first came out so I should probably upgrade to the new Kindle. I’ve been thinking about getting it but I read so many of my books on my iPad now that I haven’t even picked up my Nook for awhile. I think the thing that wins is that the e-readers are so much lighter than the iPad. Sometimes my wrist hurts from holding it so long! Thanks for the review and love the case!
I`m hoping to have a job in an environment where I can dress similar to your style, I always love your outfits!
Oh thanks Anna you are too kind! Come to Silicon Valley and you can, I’m overdressed here, even!
I love how simple yet chic this outfit is. I should look into getting a Kindle Paperwhite for my husband. In our case, he’s the night reader

My husband has the same Kindle and cover! Of course my Kindle obsessed husband has had every model of the Kindle (seriously). Our siblings and friends don’t mind getting Kindle castoffs though.
Great skirt! I still like my Gap skirt but love the pencil skirts in different fabrics and colors now…we’ll see what Santa brings

Love the skirt and the chambray combo!
I love reading and Kindle is handy but i miss the smell of the books and the page turning!
I love this look…casual yet elegant and classy.
You look stunning, dear!
CHIC SICILY
Lovely outfit and great idea re: new Kindle…maybe it’s time for me to retire my Gen 2!
You must let me know when you are coming over, I’d love to meet you!
Yes that would be wonderful! I’ll definitely let you know
Love your chambray top. I can never get enough chambray! Your look is so effortless yet chic! – xo
I’he had my Kindle Fire for almost a year, and I LOVE it. As a matter of fact, I’m typing this comment on it now. After Christmas, I want the Fire in HD. I’ll probably give this one to my oldest one to download books for school.
