Work Wear + Apologies


Life has been pretty crazy for me lately. I started a new full-time job two weeks ago (that I LOVE) which has taken up a lot of my time. When I'm not working I'm sleeping or with Alvi which leaves little to no time for blogging. (A blessing and a curse) The other thing is, even if there was time I'm computer-less! My laptop has been around for quite some time and has decided he/she no longer wants anything to do with me. It started with keys falling off and not going back on no matter how hard I try, then the CD Rom Drive (is that it's name?) decided to quit working, and now I get just a black screen. Our (my laptop and I) last moment together is slightly funny, though. I was trying to show Alvi a video of old grandma and grandpa's trying to use computers. They were HILARIOUS. I, of course, thought they were a lot funnier than Alvi did, but that's besides the point. Anyways, right as the video was getting good my screen went black and after several attempts of fixing it, it has made no progress. So, I gave up.

Well, that whole ramble was basically to say that I'm sorry for my absence! I'm visiting the bearded-guy in Mankato this weekend so I'm finally getting a chance to use a computer and write these posts! Yay, technology!

It's been fun dressing all business casual for work. I've been finding ways to work my personality into my outfits, whether it's statement jewelry or a fun hairstyle. How do you find ways to stay out of the work-wear blues?

Revamp Your Office Wardrobe


Ever find yourself wearing black day after day? It's easy, slimming, and SO boring. I'm so happy to see that colors are starting to find their way back into people's wardrobes because I sure missed it. At work, it's hard to wear professional attire that show your quirky personality. The best way to do this is by buying basic, classic pieces that can be worn and worn again. All you need to do is accessorize with your own personal touch, such as a bright statement necklace over that chiffon blouse.


blush blazer is a change of pace from the typical black
chiffon blouse can be worn in many ways
navy trousers are classic and step away from the boring black
classic tote is timeless and can be used with most outfits
bright pumps bring life to an otherwise drab outfit
tweed skirt is sexy, yet professional

Green with Envy

Leave it to Jessica Alba to make me swoon over an outfit. Blazers have been making their way into people's closets for the past couple of years. It's a timeless piece that works on all body types. Here, Jessica plays into an upcoming spring trend: pops of color! Miss Alba chose a Lisa Ho blazer in this wonderful green color. She pairs it with candy-colored Tibi blouse and 70's inspired flares. Amazing. She finishes the outfit off with gold-colored platforms and bracelets. 
Would you rock this blazer?
