How to have fun at work




 


Blazer- Limited
blouse- old  option  option
skirt- Old Navy (old)  option  option  option
shoes- Payless  option  option option
necklace- JCP  option  option
coral earrings- Lulu's  option  option

How to have fun at work? Wear colored shoes! Well, maybe it won't make you have fun at work, but when the day gets long and tough, you can look down at your brightly colored feet and have a moment of happiness.
 
I was hesitant to purchase these coral pumps and I'm still very careful about how I wear them, but they go so well with this skirt. And even though this skirt is a little old now, I still love creating outfits with it and wearing it. And it has pockets!
 
Hope your week is going well.

Print dress




Dress- (old)  option  option  option   option
shoes- Target  option  option  option
necklace- Kendra Scott
bracelets- made by me  option  option   option
 
A "go to" easy one piece dress is something I think everyone should have in their closet. I don't wear dresses much but there are some days when I just can't even think in the mornings and a piece like this helps me get out the door quickly. It can be dressed up or down based on shoe choice and accessories. A dress like this can also be changed with the addition of a jacket or blazer and tights and boots for winter.
 
Did you have a good weekend? I did some much needed house cleaning and made some more bracelets. I've got to have that balance of chores and creative time to keep me sane.

Last chance picks

It's getting close to the close of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Prices will go up August 8. If you haven't caught on to all the hype about this sale yet, this is new fall merchandise discounted up front, not like getting clearance later.

Here are some final picks of items to grab before the sale ends. The BlankNYC jacket has been really popular and is available in only a size or two. If you have ever considered getting a Clarisonic Mia, now is the time. This price is cheaper than Black Friday sale prices. I got one for Christmas last year and we paid more, but I like it for skin cleansing and exfoliation. If you want to try new beauty products, special kits like this are usually a deal and a great way to try a whole set at less cost than purchasing separately.

Three more days






Blazer- The Limited
 Blouse- Nordstrom
skirt- Nordstrom
bracelet- Alex and Ani
necklace- Kendra Scott
earrings- old  option
shoes- Life Stride option     option
 
There are three more days left to the Nsale, and I'd be a terrible blogger and totally remiss if I didn't go ahead and show you this outfit while you can still get these pieces on sale. I really am in love with the skirt. I can't wait to wear this again with a mustard cardigan in the fall or later with tights and boots. For now, I'll have to stick with just a simple blazer and loafers for the office. This skirts is a nice quality weight and it has pockets! Did I tell you that it has pockets? Gotta love a skirt or dress with pockets.
 
 
 
Do you have weekend plans? We don't.  We are just going to keep working on the never ending "to do list", some of it housekeeping and some of it personal projects.

Favorite necklace




Blouse- The Limited  option  option  option
Blazer Gap  option  option
pants- Loft  option  option
necklace- Stella and Dot
bracelet- Ann Taylor  option  option
shoes- Payless similar    option
lips- Smashbox primrose
 
This necklace is one of my favorites. It's a Stella and Dot piece that can be worn 5 ways in various lengths and by attaching or detaching the three parts. I've managed to wear this piece with office attire and casual wear. It's versatility makes it one of my favorites.
 
I love the soft colors of this outfit polished off with a black blazer for the office. It can be tricky to dress in a conservative environment when you like to be different like me. I push the envelope here and there in small ways.
