People (and by people I mean non-bloggers) seem to think I have a lot of knowledge about fashion trends. And to some extent I do, but people give me too much credit. Like recently someone asked me to confirm that it’s currently cool to wear shirts with holes in them. And I was like, is it cool for the over-30 professional crowd? Because if not, I have no idea, nor do want to. I mean, what could possibly be cooler than the over-30 professional crowd? Our LinkedIn profiles are totes on fleek.

The trends I do know about include flared sleeves and embroidery. Since I’m sporting both trends in one top here, I toned down the rest of the outfit. It’s a look that says: “I’m up to date, but I also used to have a MySpace account.”

If you’ve ever wondered what I look like with a tan, this is it. Nope, no need to adjust your screen or update your prescription. After a week on the beach, I go from intensely alabaster to just mostly pale. I mean, I’m positively glowing, don’t you think?

And as a nod to my lovely trip to the Outer Banks, I rocked these Carolina blue pumps back at work. 🙂
