All in good time


Over the past couple years the amount of work looks I share has steadily diminished. Summer used to be my time, with the extra sunlight getting a few snaps of a look at the end of the day was a cinch.

Now I feel like most week nights hold some obligation, all the while rationalizing that my work looks have just been uninspiring. So when Sean asked me if I wanted to go take photos on a particularly sunny Tuesday last week, my first response was that I didn't really like my outfit.

But I decided I liked this blouse with these pants for a reason, just when tucked in it was blousey and billowy and my waist felt lost, so I turned to my favorite trick, and knotted it up. Then I grabbed a pair of sunglasses I haven't worn in a while, as they've been tucked in a drawer - out of sight, out of mind. Finally I swapped my practical bag for the bamboo one. Not that I haven't taken the bamboo bag to work before!

With a few little tweaks, my boring work outfit became blog-worthy. If only I could think about these things when getting dressed the first time.

    Love how you made a few quick tweeks, and transformed your work look. The color of those pants is fabulous <3

    Love this outfit! I don't think it's a boring work look at all (even without the accessory changes)

    It's hard to feel inspired about getting dressed when you're rushing out the door for work in the morning - I still remember how repetitive my work ensembles were, and I've been working from home for almost three years. But a few tweaks really do go a long way to make an outfit feel different and, to be honest, this is far more stylish than anything I ever wore to work, so you're doing well ;)

    This transitions from a work outfit into a blog outfit pretty darn well - I sort of feel like all things are possible with that super cool purse though.

    Knotting this blouse was such a good call- it looks so cute! Loving those mule sandals, too, lady!

    I love this look! I agree that my weekday looks also feel uninspiring these days though. It's hard to feel blog worthy all the time! But I like seeing what bloggers really wear!

    I'm glad you took the photos! The blouse is so pretty and I love it paired with the olive pants. I never would have thought to put them together, but it works perfectly!

    I love how the top looks knotted. I'm also loving your sandals--I keep seeing similar ones around and I think that may be the next sandal I get. They seem to go with everything. Yay for an impromptu photo shoot date :)

    You look adorable in this outfit. Trying to get looks after a long day is so hard. So glad you did it with this. I love the shoes and bag with this. Totally appropriate for a weekend or lunch out!
