I’m pretty proud of the clever outfit concoctions that I’ve put together to help me avoid wearing suits to work.  But I have to say that this one takes the cake.

I got this blazer on a whim a while back, but I wasn’t really sure how I’d wear it.  Then divine inspiration struck at 6am as I stumbled out of bed one morning… or perhaps I was so bleary-eyed that I just grabbed two random items in the same color scheme.  Whatever the case, I don’t think I’ve ever received so many compliments on one of my work ensembles as this one.

Who knew clashing patterns could be so office-friendly?

I don’t often wear a single color from head-to-toe, but this time I just couldn’t resist. I think this dress may be one of my best thrift store finds to date!

I scored this top during a very fruitful thrifting adventure last month, and I immediately knew I wanted to pair it with my bright yellow pumps.  I’d originally hoped to score of pair of aqua-colored jeans to complete the look. But alas, the denim gods decided not to smile upon me in my quest for candy-colored bottoms.  Never one to give up on a cute outfit, I unearthed this azul high-waist pencil skirt from the depths of my closet.  Mission accomplished!
