Congrats! and What I Wore

Congrats, Holly! I'll be contacting you shortly to get your info so I can send you your new bag. I hope you love it as much as I love mine! And thanks to everyone who entered or helped spread the word about my first giveaway ... I wish I could send something to everyone!

Now on to more sartorial matters ...

Jacket: Forever 21 // Top: Target // Belt: Charlotte Russe (??) // Pants: Target // Shoes: Steve Madden // Peridot Earrings and Necklace: Gifts from my dad // Faux Peridot Bracelet: Gift from Marcus' aunt // Faux Pearl Cluster Ring: F21

You'll have to pardon my slightly disheveled appearance, as these photos were taken after a 10 hour work day AND post-work drinks with my newly-retired dad (cue Napoleon Dynamite saying "Lucky!" in my head ...). But messy hair and well-worn makeup aside, this might be my new favorite office look. It's grown up and office-appropriate, but still a little funky. Just how I like it!

I decided recently that I really need to step up my fashion game at the office. I've started to rely too heavily on the casual side of business casual, which I just don't find acceptable for a woman of 27 trying to advance her career. Not that this outfit is going to get me a promotion, but it's at least a step up from my tired old khakis and leopard print flats (don't take it personally, flats, I still love you!). So if all goes according to plan, you may start to get more peeks into my work wardrobe. Hopefully.
