Did my title fool you? Did you think I had taken up a new profession where bare midriffs at work are appropriate? Like maybe the supervisor at a strip club or the CEO of Claire’s?

Nope, still lawyering. Just coming up with clever ways to wear some of my more casual pieces during the week.

I’m also trying out some more new jewelry this week thanks to Rocksbox. In case you missed the memo, you can try some free jewelry for a month too if you sign up for Rocksbox with the code sarahsreallifexoxo. The code’s only good for a few more days, so don’t miss out! You might regret it almost as much as the supervisor of a strip club regrets most of her life choices.

An Alternate Equation

Remember my outfit equation for super cold days? I came up with an alternate formula. I had to. We’ve had so many days in the teens (or negative teens) and I can only wear my one pair of fleece tights so many times without washing them. And it’s not like doing laundry on a regular basis is an option. Do I look like a damn queen to you?

The alternate equation is ponte pants + tunic + blazer + boots. If necessary, I add a thin tee and tights as a base layer for extra warmth. I like that my skinny ponte pants fit into tall boots, but for work I like to wear a longer top because I’m worried people will think I’m just wearing straight up leggings to the office. The ponte pant/legging line is a delicate one that I haven’t quite figured out. The everyday challenges we non-royals face, I tell ya. Rough.
