Guest Post: [Laura’s] Real Life

I’m starting off your week with another guest post! Everyone should thank Laura for whipping up this chic look to share with you, because I am rocking the unshowered-law-student-during-finals look right now. Be sure to check out her blog (link below).

Hi, I’m Laura and I blog at “Laura Wears…”.  Like Sarah, I regularly post photos of my daily outfits, and on occasion I also post gratuitous photos of my dogs {although I do try to mostly keep my over-sharing confined to my personal Facebook}.

Today’s look is on the simpler end of the spectrum.  I wore this particular outfit to work.  There was initially a blazer involved, however it was so nice in the afternoon {hello Spring, thank you for FINALLY making an appearance} I completely forgot to wear the blazer while I was taking these photographs.

Top:  J.Crew  {winter 2012/13}

Pants:  D&G {these plaid  pants have quickly turned into a personal favorite [see them styled differently here and here] and the office joke… I routinely get asked {in good fun!} for my golf tip of the day.  At first this baffled me from a why-don’t-they-know-plaid-pants-aren’t-just-for-the-golf-course way.  But I have since given in, and now I have a variety of witty comebacks…unless you catch me at a bitter moment, then my comeback is less witty and more angry…}

Bracelets:  Thrifted bangles & Club Monaco wrap bracelet

Sunglasses:  Armani Exchange

Purse:  Le Chateau {I bought this ~10 years ago for an undergrad formal – it has held up well!}

Heels:  Sam Edelman ‘Portney’  {my go-to work shoe!  I wish I would have bought these in beige too.  One of the things my wardrobe is currently missing is a great beige pump}

Guest Post: [Misty’s] Real Life

Hi! I am Misty and I blog over at Balancing A Hectic World. I am so excited to be guest posting today! Like Sarah, I blog about real world fashion. I am a busy mother and wife with a full time job so my wardrobe has to be practical, yet stylish and of course affordable. I love mixing neutrals with vibrant colors. When you are really busy and in a hurry an easy way to add visual interest to an outfit is with a “pop of color.” Peyton (my super adorable baby boy) had his 18 month checkup the other day. I didn’t want to wear the pencil skirt and heels I had worn to work, so I ran home to change before picking him up at Mom’s house. I didn’t have a lot of time to get ready, but I still wanted to look put together and stylish. Vibrant Pink Pants + Neutral Black Henley + Black Flats = Easy outfit that looks put together and is practical for southing and carrying a screaming child which Peyton most certainly was doing(doctor’s offices always scares him!). I guess it beats the last visit which resulted in me be covered in pee, but hey – A mom does what a mom has to do and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you stop by my blog and join me as we conquer the world in the most stylish way possible 🙂

Destination – Taking my son to the doctor
