Who's got two thumbs and doesn't care that it's 70 degrees outside and wore her long winter coat complete with fur collar today anyways? THIS GIRL! True story. 

Come on Santa, all I want for Christmas is a little snow. Heck, at this point I'd be okay with any weather below 50 degrees. Come on! Global warming, you suck.

W2WW :: Wear to Work Wednesday

This outfit could work in so many different environments, including a casual office, which is what makes it so perfect. Run to the office, run some errands, stop for drinks - all without worrying if your outfit is appropriate. For a more formal look, simply take off the vest. 

Many people say leggings shouldn't be worn as pants, but unless you're this woman I say GO FOR IT! Yours truly does it at least twice a week. 

Sweater / Donna Karen (similar) / $780

Leggings / Urban Outfitters / $34

Pumps / Zara / $90

Laptop case / bottica.com / $150

Vest / J.Crew / $77 (on sale!)

Pumps / Elizabeth & James / $325
Bag / Chanel / Idon'tevenwanttoknow

Well, this is an expensive outfit (with the exception of the skirt and sunglasses), but I'm totally into this color combo. Unexpected, yet still appropriate for fall! The pumps add a hint of sexy, and I'm secretly (or perhaps not-so-secretly) looking for a more affordable version. 

Happy hump day,

W2WW is (finally) back!!! I've missed putting these boards together for you. This week is W2WW :: Casual Edition. Since my new job is much more casual than my last (think jeans instead of suits and ties), I'm having a lot more fun experimenting with outfits. And you should too! Life is short.

Happy Hump Day ;)

I decided to do W2WW a little different this week.. what do you think?

xoxo

W2WW :: Wear to Work Wednesday

It's Wednesday! Here's your weekly wear-to-work inspo.

Blazer - ???
Pants - Ann Taylor LOFT - $65 (now an extra 40% off!)
Bag - Michael Kors - $174
Necklace - Etro - $355
Bracelet - Windsor Store - $7
Nail Polish - Dior - $23
Lip Color - Clinique Black Honey - $15 (I am obsessed with this! I keep losing it and every time I go back and buy a new one. It's that good.)

Make the pattern of the pants the focal point of the outfit with a neutral top and nail color. Make sure you don't overdo the jewelry, especially with the large necklace it's important to keep the rest of your accessories to a minimum. And, of course, add a pop of color with your bag. Who's surprised?

Happy hump day.

Top / Modcloth / $35
Boots / Loeffler Randall / $695 (in my dreams...)
iPad case / Marc by Marc Jacobs / $98
Denim / Joe's Jeans / $190 (similar from Old Navy here)
Earrings / Nordstrom / $60
Necklace / J.Crew / $165

Many companies these days are ditching the business formal dress code for business casual. Embrace it! Happy employees = productive employees.

My new job allows us to wear jeans to work, but I'm a little slow to work denim into my work attire. Something about feeling more professional in formal dress, but hey, to each his own!

What kind of work outfits do you want to see featured on W2WW? I'd love your input!

W2WW :: Wear to Work Wednesday

Black + white + raspberry = a yummy wear-to-work outfit.

It's pretty much impossible to go wrong with black and white, especially when it comes to office wear. If you've been following my W2WW series at all, you know how much I love to add pops of color to an outfit using accessories, like this McQueen scarf. If you have something more formal to attend, like an important business meeting, you can just take it off for a more polished look. Easy!

Happy hump day ;)

W2WW :: Wear to Work Wednesday

Well my loves, after a brief intermission, W2WW is baaaack :) 

It's not quite time to pull cold weather clothes out of storage, but you can go ahead and start thinking about cooler temperatures! A muted, neutral palette is perfect for transitioning from summer to fall - and the yellow Zara shoes add the perfect amount of color.

Workwear :: Flats

I try to wear heels to work most of the week, but typically by Thursday (who am I kidding, more like Tuesday) I'm just tired and I end up in flats. These are some great options to give your tired feet a break at the office!

1. $25 / Forever 21

2. $250 / Tory Burch

3. $25 / ASOS

4. $70 / Topshop
5. $25 / Lulus
6. $41 (similar) / ASOS

W2WW :: Wear to Work Wednesday

A bright red dress is always a show-stopper and commands attention! People will know that you're the boss when you walk into the conference room in this DVF number. Sexy but classic and powerful!

Work has been especially stressful the past few weeks.. I'm trying to remind myself daily how hard I've worked to get here and how hard I need to continue to work! It can be all too easy to get too comfortable and fall into a rut of daily tasks, but it's so important to ALWAYS IMPROVE!

Happy Hump Day everyone! Only two more days until Friday!

W2WW :: Wear to Work Wednesday

Does anyone else notice a recurring theme with my posts? That may or may not have something to do with spring/summer, warm weather, and wanting to be outside (as opposed to in the office)? 

I celebrated my one-year anniversary at my job last week. As exciting as that was, I couldn't help but realize that in that entire year I have not taken a single vacation. 

The beach is calling my name.... 

xoxo

W2WW :: Wear to Work Wednesday

Happy springtime, ladies!

This outfit features *mostly* affordable items. The skirt is H&M, the blouse is J.Crew, the pumps are ALDO and the bag is..... Celine. Hey, you gotta dream big kid. 

Hope your days are as lovely as mine.

xoxo

W2WW :: Wear to Work Wednesday

A modern day Sex in the City look - Balenciaga bag, Jimmy Choo shoes, Tom Ford sunglasses. As a woman in the working world, you have to be fierce. Success takes hard work and long hours.

Truer words have never been spoken! 

W2WW :: Wear to Work Wednesday

Floral prints are a great way to add a little bit of springtime fun to a corporate outfit, and I am in love with this print from Zara! At only $60, it's affordable enough for those of us on a budget. The white blazer tones down the busy print while keeping it cool enough for warm spring weather. Can't forget the caffeine - this working girl always needs her coffee in the morning!
