Business Casual

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have caught me wearing this dress during my recent business trip to San Francisco (sidenote: I have yet to be able to recreate that hairdo in NYC’s humid climate… le sigh…).  The dress was a random find, but it’s quickly become one of my go-to statement pieces when I want to look “professional-yet-fun”.

P.S. This post is linked up with The Pleated Poppy’s What I Wore Wednesday!

After my recent trip to H&M, I walked away with these darling slacks and a coordinating top.  I’m feeling oh-so-trendy in this outfit since it combines not one or two, but three of this season’s hottest sellers:

1. Oxblood
2. Peplum
3. Baroque

{Zara Top, Forever 21 Wax Coated Jeans (similar), Elliott Lucca Handbag, Juicy Couture Necklace (similar here and here), Prada Baroque Sunglasses, Vintage Chanel Pin via eBay (more choices here, plus read this GREAT post on how to authenticate), Kate Spade Shoes,  JewelmintBracelet, Hermès Bracelet, Michael Kors Watch,  YSL Arty Dots Ring}

Wear a t-shirt and jeans to work?  Who me?!

Ok, maybe just this once… but don’t tell anybody!
