What to Wear to the Office + Life Update

-
Hey guys! Long time, no talk I know. 

First let me just say that although I had a ton of great ideas and plans for Christmas / Winter / New Years themed posts, I just did not get around to them. This time of year can be extremely stressful, and it's important to remember not to wear yourself too thin. Between the holidays, having family stay with us, and starting a new job (more info on that in a sec), I have just been so busy. So, I decided to take a little break from blogging to focus on everything else going on. It's so important to live in the moment and enjoy the holidays with your family so that is what I did!

Okay, so now that that's out of the way, lets get down to business... Or should I say business casual? Here are two office ready looks for fashionistas who have a dress code but don't want to sacrifice looking and feeling cute and stylish. The reason i'm finally doing an office wear post (and the reason i've never done one in the past) is because I have a new job working for an amazing company called Leidos, and it has a 'business casual' dress code. I kind of panicked because I: 1. didn't own any business-y clothing at all, and 2. I don't know how to wear pants that aren't jeans or leggings. Because of all that, I knew I had to do a little research, and that is exactly what I did. Here are two looks I came up with:

Look #1:


Jacket c/o | Lace Tank (Sold Out) | Pants (Sale!) | Bag | Pumps | Watch

I love this look because it is business-y but not boring. The pop of lace on the tank adds a feminine touch, while the jacket keeps everything looking polished and put-together. Not to mention a pump that goes from office appropriate to party ready with the change of an outfit. I also LOVE these (also available/on sale in grey) and these for fun heels as well. Talk about versatile!

Look #2:


Similar Blouse | Blazer | Earrings

This look is definitely a much more classic approach to office wear. You can never go wrong with a pretty blouse and a blazer. This look is also one you can play around with. Try adding a bright colored blouse for a pop of color, a fun statement necklace for a touch of bling, or a pencil skirt if you're really feeling sassy. 

Okay, well that's it for this post! I hope to put together more cute office-ready looks in the future, and I promise to share them all! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope you all have a wonderful New Year as well. Becoming a better blogger and posting much more frequently is at the top of my New Year resolutions list, so i'll be back much sooner than later. Be sure to keep an eye out!

Similar Romper | Heels | Similar Hat | Hoops Hi guys! I hope y'all have been doing well. Today's post is all about this cute little romper I picked up at TJ Maxx. I am obsessed with rompers because they are all the cuteness and dressiness of wearing a dress with the functionality of shorts! Yay! But lately, I have been especially  loving long sleeve rompers. They are the perfect summer-to-fall transitional piece. Add a hat (like I did with this look) and some booties and you have an adorable pre-fall look! Towards the colder months, you can also throw on some tights underneath and a scarf and voila, you have a perfect fall or winter look as well. Basically, you can just  do so much with long sleeve rompers which is why I love them so much! Also, I picked up these gorgeous heels at Target a couple weeks ago, they were on sale for like $14! They also have them in a pink velvet which I just adore. SHOP MY LOOK:

Similar Dress | Denim Jacket | Sandals | Watch Omg y'all, I have been looking for a little striped dress like this for the longest time and I am so glad I finally found one! I absolutely adore dresses like this because they are simple and perfect for dressing wither up or down. You can also wear a dress like this about a million ways so I'd absolutely consider this a wardrobe staple. This would be a great item to add to your 'back to school' shopping lists! On a side note, is this not the cutest little wall you ever did see?! Its made up of fake succulents. I fell in love the moment I saw it. Well, thats it for this post! Until next time, y'all.

Dress (Sold out - similar HERE ) | Booties  (On sale!) | Hat | Similar Necklace Hi y'all! Summer is officially over, which makes me kind of sad because now i'll have to go back to real life and real responsibilities which is not fun. BUT it also makes me so happy because summer being over means fall is just around the corner! I can practically smell pumpkin spice in the air... LOL! If you're anything like me, then you can't wait to bring out all of your fall wardrobe. That is exactly how I was feeling when I threw this little outfit together. The wether was perfect, cloudy and cool (but definitely not cool enough to break out the fall clothes, ya know?) so figured, hey, throw on a cute dress, some booties, and a hat and voila! I had a somewhat fall-like look that will hold me over until I can actually get my fall on.  So, lets get down to business, shall we? I mentioned these booties in my last post, and y'all, I was n...
