What I Wore

Hi all! I have been thinking about doing more of an everyday wear series since a lot of the time my daily outfits don’t make it to the blog for one reason or another. With my schedule, it’s just much easier to take pictures of what I’m wearing on the weekend! Also, I don’t find my work outfits particularly interesting anymore because I work in such a casual environment. I’ve been trying to go a little bit more outside of the box lately (aka not t-shirts and boyfriend jeans) so thought it would be a great time to start...

Chambray + Floral Pants

Fashion•Outfits

I never thought I would be able to wear sequins to work until I found this cardigan at Nordstrom Rack. It completely changed my mind and I have been wearing it to the office ever since. With a chambray top, floral trousers and coral heels, I felt like a lot of my personality was shining through at work. Also, I apologize for wearing these floral pants over and over again, they are just SO comfortable. Hope you had a great weekend and happy Monday!

Printed Pants

Fashion•Outfits

I do so much online shopping that I forgot how nice it is to try something on in store and fall in love with it. Falling in love happened last weekend with these printed pants from Banana Republic. Last Saturday, my family and I stopped into Banana Republic during their 4th of July, extra 40% off sale and my parents were generous enough to purchase them for me (thank you mom and dad)! Got to love having the parents in town, right?! These pants have the same feel in quality as this skirt (which I’ve had for over five years). They make...

Work Uniform

Outfits

When I don’t plan my outfit out the night before I have a pretty easy way to get ready for work: collared button up + skirt + heels. It literally is my go-to on a whim and never fails to be professional and chic. I was pretty tired Monday when I woke up for work, so the easiest thing for me to do was grab a button up and skirt. I LOVE this bright orange blouse for summer and paired with this blue eFoxCity necklace and my new pumps from New York, I felt ready to conquer the day,...

Double Stripes

Outfits

I once tried to pair stripes together, but I don’t think it was as successful as this. I think a thin, basic black and white striped t-shirt would look great with any thicker striped cardigan, blouse or cover-up of another color. I am thinking that even though I feel guilty about what I spent this month, at least I am already wearing some of my purchases. When I wait too long, it usually means it just doesn’t work in with my wardrobe. Anyway, I always talk about adding interest to my work outfits and for yesterday, the longest work...

Leopard & Red

Outfits

Started off the week right with a little leopard and red. Nothing better than being able to wear this pairing at the office! I hope you all had a wonderful week and hope you enjoy the weekend!

At the Office

Fashion

I am always looking for ways to mix up the typical work attire. Some days I wish I worked from home and could wear whatever I want. Not so I could wear sweats all day, but just so I could wear anything from my closet without wondering “is this professional looking” “is this long enough?” “will my feet and knees kill going up and down the stairs all day?” I want to be professional and practical yet fun at the same time. I know some people don’t like the look of layering under a dress, but I really liked...

Polka Dots at Work

Outfits

Some days I just want to match because honestly, it is just easy, right? Well to make my gray dress and booties a bit more exciting, I added some navy polka dot tights and my mother’s polka dot earrings. Sometimes I forget that earrings can add such a great touch to an outfit and after remembering to wear one of my more unique pairs with this outfit, I’m kicking myself in the butt for the days I forget to put earrings in at all. That my friends is life. It happens! Happy Friday Eve!

Polka Dot Skirt

Outfits

Found this vintage polka dot skirt at Goodwill back home in Iowa this weekend when I went shopping with my mom… couldn’t be happier with the find and wanted to wear it right away back to work yesterday! It is cute, comfy and a great transitional piece for when the weather starts to get colder. This blouse is one of my favorites and you can look for a range of similar ladies blouses online too. Happy Wednesday 🙂
