Blazer: Michael Kors. Blue Ruffle Top: George. Pants: Forever XXI. Shoes: Nicole Miller.
I’m wearing jeans to work! Okay – they’re not jeans jeans, but they’re gray jeans, so I figure I’m taking baby steps with this whole casual at work thing :)
I kept the look sleek with a black blazer (I’m in love with the zipper detailing) and a silky ruffle blouse.
Top: Michael Kors. Shorts: Old Navy. Bracelet: Forever XXI. Ring: Charming Charlie. Rosebud Wedges: Charming Charlie.
This Labor Day weekend started out great as we had a work grill out on Friday and got to leave work early. In honor of our grill out, we got to wear extra casual clothes. To find something for the casual but still workplace appropriate look, I scoured my closet and decided on this flowy top and average length shorts.
I typically don’t like shorts because I can never find ones that are the right length. I'm like Goldilocks when it comes to shorts! They’re either up to my ass or down to my knee – seriously designers?!? Anyway… last year I did find these Old Navy shorts and would have bought 1 in every color if they had more, but alas, navy was all they had, so here they are – my one average length pair of shorts! I guess that’s why I often stick to skirts or dresses.
Dress: Bisou Bisou. Belt: NY & Co. Watch: Guess. Bracelet: ? Shoes: Michael Kors.
Last time I wore this dress, I wore it with blue. This time I was still feeling the blue accent vibe, but decided to go much simpler with it. I stuck with neutral accessories (belt & shoes) and just added just a couple peekaboo blue items with the jewelry.
Dress: Forever XXI. Beaded sandals: Steve Madden.
Print Top: Michael Kors. Jeans: NY & Co. Navy criss-cross wedges: Nicole Miller. Bracelet: Forever XXI. Rose hairclip: ?
It was my boyfriend’s birthday last Friday and although we unfortunately had to drag our butts to work during the day, we had a lovely Friday evening out and spent the rest of the weekend relaxing, spending time outdoors, and visiting family.
Typically, when I go out in the evening - I reinvent what I wore during the day to make it evening appropriate. This time however, I only kept my rose hairclip and changed up everything else! I somewhat stayed with the same color palate if that counts for anything…
Cardigan: White House Black Market. Ruffle top: INC. Skirt: Target. Tights: Apt 9. Oxford booties: Michael Kors.
There’s kind of a lot going on in this look – ruffles, bold pattern, pleated and belted skirt, pattern fishnet tights, and detailed shoes… – but I like it! I think the overall blended color scheme made it not seem overdone for me.
