Where Everybody Knows Your Name

j crew sweatshirt, blue beanie, navy blazer, wide leg jeans, casual friday outfit

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?

If at First You Don’t Succeed

Earlier in the week, I went to a speaker who gave a presentation on an area of law I’m interested in, and since there would be lots of attorneys there, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to “dress up” a little and not look so much like a student. But since almost all of my business casual clothes are packed up for the school year, I didn’t have a lot of options at the ready. I did have this skirt, but the temperature called for tights and the rain called for a sturdier shoe. I ended up with the outfit on the left, but then I realized the ruffled tweed, bright purple, winter white, contrasting tights, and studded knee-high boots look was probably not the best way to blend in with a bunch of lawyers.

So instead I ended up with the more casual but still sophisticated outfit on the right. You know how I overthink things sometimes? Yep.
