About a million years ago, a French blogger that I follow wore a brown polo-style shirt, and I though it so unexpectedly chic so I made a mental note to get myself a brown polo. It was very much an “I saw Cadie Herron wearing army pants and flip flops” moment.

Most polo-style shirts have logos on them, which is not my jam, but I finally finally found what I was looking for. And then…

It had been so long since I stumbled upon that chocolat-clad Parisienne, I couldn’t remember what the hell I thought was so great about a brown polo. A brown polo, you guys. I’m basically twinning with the UPS driver that delivered the damn shirt to me. BUT, I’m trying to be less wasteful, so I’m going to do my very best to get good use out of this thing. Here is attempt #1. More styling ideas are welcome.

We started transitioning back to the office at the end of June, and a couple weeks later, we reversed course. It’s fine. I got what I wanted out of in-the-office work for the time being, which was: a couple cute business casual looks and a chance to print a shipping label for my own personal use.

This outfit has been in my head for months and it turned out almost as good as it looked in my head. Who else has “real world” outfits they’re saving up? And who is just showing off their #lewks to their uninterested pets?
