This is an outfit I’ve had in my head for months but I just never found the “right” occasion to wear it. Bell sleeves and bell bottoms? It had to be done. So on the day before my birthday I said “screw it” and I wore it to work. That meant wearing a white tank under the crop top so I wouldn’t flash anyone, but that didn’t really take away from the overall awesomeness that is having bells on every limb of your body.

My only regret from last Friday has nothing to do with my outfit – it’s the amount of queso I ate at dinner. I’m fairly confident that when these photos were taken, my body was 70% cheese.

I’ve been trying to focus this month’s shopping on office-appropriate basics, and I’ve mostly done an awesome job. And when you do an awesome job at something, you want to celebrate. What’s a good way to celebrate? Having a drink with friends. What do you say when you toast your drinking friends? “Cheers!” And that’s what it says on this adorable sweatshirt that I bought this month even though it’s not an office-appropriate basic. BUT! (she says triumphantly) my office declared a casual Friday last week so I hid my sweatshirt under a blazer with my nicest jeans and voila! A trendy sweatshirt becomes something I totally bought on purpose to wear to work. Good job, me. I should celebrate. See what I did there?
