Working Girl


Dress: Calvin Klein, Shirt: Banana Republic, Shoes: Christian Louboutin, Bag: Fendi, Belt: Anne Klein





Hey Lovelies!

Remember my posts from the last couple of Fridays? You know– the one’s where I went on and on about skipping work and enjoying some much needed “me time.” Well those days have come back to bite me firmly in the behind. All that “me time” last week has led to me having no time for myself this week. I’ve been a prisoner to my office and my work clothes. So, I hope you don’t mind, but this week on the blog is pretty much all work and no play. This is the outfit that I wore to work yesterday.
Since my office feels like a meat locker on most days, I’m always concerned with staying warm. Though cardigans are my go-to for dealing with the frigid temps, I also like layering my work dresses over silky long-sleeved tops. I usually do this when there’s some element on the dress that I really couldn’t bear covering up (in this case it’s the pleated bodice).  With this option, I get to show off my dress without freezing to death.
On another note, I’m sure you guys have noticed my extra long locks recently. I’m wearing extensions as a protective style and thought I’d go extra long. However, I’m starting to regret that decision. It’s just way too hot for all this hair. So, it might be going bye-bye in the near future. It was fun while it lasted though.

Love,
Moi

P.S. My uber sweet hubby snapped these photos during one of our Ipod jam sessions on our way to a very very late lunch.

  1. You have inspired me to try more blouses under shorter sleeve dresses. Looking good here, classic and sophisticated.

  14. I'm going on an interview and wondered what your take on wearing hosiery is for interviewing?

    My personal belief is I HATE pantyhose/stockings but go back and forth about whether it's still necessary on an interview. I usually opt for pants just to avoid the debate but thought I would ask you!

    Thanks in advance!
