To The Office



{Wearing: Zara Coat, TNA T-Shirt, Gap Pants, Zara Pumps, Ruche Necklace, Matt & Nat Bag}

Most of the time at work I am not dressed office appropriate. That is because I don't work an office, I work in a restaurant so I am dressed restaurant appropriate. That means I am slip proof, burn proof, and comfortable all while trying to look professional. The few times a year (meetings at the head office or when I teach a management class) I do have to put together some clothing appropriate for the office I am reminded how nothing I own seems right for the job. 

I didn't wear this outfit to the office but It's far closer to office ready than 90% of my wardrobe and considering I start teaching a class tomorrow I really need to start brain storming some outfits. In the past I would just go shopping for professional clothing for those three days of teaching but I refuse to this time. I will find something office appropriate in my closet if it means I have to sew it myself! (for the record, the only thing I can sew on anything is a button... a maxi dress with a button is office appropriate right?)

A Little Romance

It's amazing how an orange belt can make me fall in love with my clothes all over again. I've had all of these pieces in my wardrobe for a loooong time, but wearing them with this belt made me see them in a whole new light. If this isn't romance, I don't know what is.

I'm Way Past Writer's Block

Okay this whole writer's block thing is getting out of control. In this case it isn't even writer's block... it's brain function block. I am literally at a point of exhaustion after this weekend. I worked all weekend and made the horrible decision to keep an active social life at the same time - something I am apparently way too old for. Add to that losing an hour of sleep and not even red bull can keep me going.

With that said, a whiny blogger is a boring blogger so I will do my best to be rested and happy by my next post (read: I won't be posting again until after my vacation in May. Kidding! I'll be good by Wednesday)
