Let me just say that having a job again is unequivocally a good thing. But let me also say that it’s an adjustment after my long spell of “funemployment.” Now I have to shower more often and come up with office-appropriate things to wear on multiple consecutive days. I did this for four years before I went back to school, but somehow it seems harder now. So to make my life the tiniest bit easier, I’ve been turning to my Pinterest boards for outfit ideas. On a side (but related) note, it drives me crazy when people cite Pinterest as a source. Nothing originates from Pinterest. It’s just a place to organize stuff you like from other places. If you asked me where I got my shoes and I said “my closet,” that wouldn’t be very helpful, would it? So while I did go to my Pinterest board to find the idea for this outfit, the inspiration really came from Shannon at GBO Fashion.
While Shannon’s version would be perfectly wearable for a weekend, I needed a business casual version. I swapped out the denim for ponte pants and went for a plain black tee sans cute French words. And that concludes the latest installment of “Pin to Real Life.” Now if someone could just tell me what I want to wear on Monday, that would be great.

I love the metallic accents to this outfit of basics (although the basics are just as good as the fun accessories!). Another great look!

I don’t know if this would work for you, but I will wear the same pants all week, so all I have to plan out is the tops/blazers! Then I know they need to be washed/dry cleaned at the end of the week!
This is super cute! I am always looking for good jackets to add into my wardrobe.

Awesome! Thanks Maggie 🙂
You will be back in the swing of business casual outfit planning in no time. This look is great, I love the heels!
