Ruffles, Chiffon & Leopard, My Faves

Hi readers!! I am very tired after probably one the craziest weekends ever. SO MUCH FUN!!

I believe this may be my new favorite blouse. I've worn it a few times (like here) & I never get tired of it.  It was rather chilly the night I chose this outfit, so tights & leopard booties were the perfect accessories. Actually, these are probably the worst shoes ever- no grippers, I spent lots of time on the floor due to their slipperiness. But at least they're cute, right?!

Boho-Chic

I decided to try something new. What do you think about this bohemian look?! Change is good & I'm really pleased with the outcome of this outfit. Sorry for the quick post, but I've been traveling this weekend & have lots to do before tomorrow, ugh. Hope you all had wonderful weekends!!

Maxi In The Office

Seriously all I ever talk about or do these days is work, work, work- BLAH! I took advantage of Nordy's Half Yearly Sale and bought a maxi dress, which inspired this outfit. I do have more than this maxi dress, but it may be my fave (until my new one gets here). I've worn this dress before (here) but the temps were  little warmer. This time I paired the dress with a scarf, blazer and flats for more of a Fall look. I'm just really obsessed with layering I guess. Would you wear a maxi dress/skirt to work?!

Captured By My Phones

This past week has been none other than hectic. I haven't had time to do anything. I had to say goodbye to my beloved Blackberry this week & upgraded to a iPhone. These are some pictures I found on my phones. Hopefully I ca find time in the upcoming week for outfit pics. Until then, enjoy these!!

Layers & Layers & Layers, Oh My

Fall is finally here!!!! I love that I can layer all my favorite pieces together to create an outfit. Although I have a lot on, it all just sort of works. Throughout this season, you'll be seeing me wear lots of tights, dresses, boots & scarves.

Sorry for the short post, but work has had me very busy & I cannot wait until the weekend!! What are some of your favorite Fall items?!

Making A Statement

This has been the most trauma-tizing week ever!! As if being required to wear flats everyday wasn't horrible enough, the company I work for updated the dress code. Basically, I'll have to wear a black company shirt with dark jeans & get this, "Hawaiian Blue" Vans (featured at the end of this post). This look is unprofessional & I have no desire to work for a company that supports unprofessionalism. Needless to say, before this policy kicks into gear, I'll be settling in at a different company. There's no way in hell I'm wearing Vans. A company who decides to take away my fashion creativity deserves not to lose a great employee. Plus, I never wear tennies other than at the gym & I'm not starting now. Traumatic huh?! Told you. (& yes, I am crazy enough to quit a job over bad fashion.)

But anyway, I chose a simple outfit & palette the other day. I haven't posted this necklace on my blog yet & wanted it to take center stage. Can't really go wrong with black, white & grey. What do you think?!

Tier Today, Gone Tomorrow

I wore this outfit yesterday. I'm smiling because it was FRIDAY! Nothing is more exciting than knowing you have a few days away from the office. I went for something a little casual- skinny pants, flats, cardi. I chose the tiered top to add a little oomph to an otherwise boring ensemble. My favorite photo of this outfit is the last one. I like how it shows the movement of my top & the sequins on the pockets of the cardi. It just goes to show that nothing is ever too simple when it comes to my clothes!

No Smiles, Must Be Monday

I wore this outfit to the office a few weeks ago. I threw it together basically as I was running out of the door. I must say, I'm slightly pleased with the look. When it comes to making outfits work appropriate, I believe a cardigan is one of the best ways to do so. Luckily in my line of business, I don't have to be so corporate/professional & I can get away with wearing anything except jeans. I just wish I didn't have to wear flats. Career change?!

I also tried not to smile in these photos & seem mysterious, but it only makes me look mad, so I'll smile from now on. What are your go-to's for work?!

Borrowed From The Boys: Preppy

My outfit today was inspired by, get this, the boys. Preppy ones to be exact. Since moving, I;ve noticed lots of guys taking the time to add little unquie touches to their outfits (trying to catch up with the ladies, fellas?!) There's something I really like about rolled up khakis & bow ties. I though I'd put my own little spin on this look because after all I am a very girly girl. Instead of wearing loose khakis, I opted for a skinny legging like pair and cuffed them four times. I also couldn't bring myself to sport a bow tie & decided on a statement necklace. Of course, I'd never rock oxfords or loafers, no matter how "in" they are. So pairing this look with leopard flats made it more me. I plan on styling a similar look- I'm thinking jeggings, sandles & a scarf. Stay tuned!!

In case you were wondering, I would not date a guy who dressed like this. I would simply admire his impeccable style from afar or attempt to make him my new bff. Just btw.

Sneaky Sneaky

Outfit post!! I borrowed the office's camera today on my lunch break. Shhh, don't tell. Hopefully, I'll be posting more since I've discovered this camera. My coworker & I literally ran outside for like 5 seconds & took these. We're so sneaky. I think next time, we'll play with the settings because the lighting is definitely off. But we'll figure it out. Enjoy the quick post & anticipate the next.
