When: Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Where: First day at work + celebration dinner at South Street Seaport

What: Dress (Rabbit|Rabbit via Filene’s Basement), belt (H&M), shoes ($40 Nine West via Shoe Woo), handbag ($10 H&M)

Vacation is officially over and has been for over a week now. So it’s back to more work appropriate attire. 

I started a new job last week (which I love so far, by the way), and  I of course spent the night before obsessing over what I’d wear my first day… only to change my mind the next morning.

My nature is to be a bit reserved when thrown into new situations, so I thought wearing bright yellow would make me look more lively and approachable.  It turns out that I didn’t need the color boost at all… all of my new co-workers are super-friendly and made me feel right at home!

The best part is that my new office is fairly casual, which means I get to have more fun with my weekday wardrobe. No more 3-page dress code from corporate!

Does your workplace have a strict dress code, or is it fairly laid back?  What’s your favorite go-to outfit for work during the summer?

Closet Confection: Gimme a Break

When: Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Where: Work

What: Cardigan ($40 Tommy Hilfiger clearance sale), dress (Forever21), shoes ($20 Michael Kors via eBay), handbag ($88 Botkier via Gilt Groupe)

I’m currently on Day 4 of a much needed two and a half week vacation. Above are some quick pics I snapped as I danced out of the office last Thursday.  I guess you can call this my bon voyage outfit, as you won’t be seeing any office attire from me until after the holiday.

It’s been over a year since my last real vacation, and I was way overdue for a break. So far, it’s been great to just relax and sleep in late.  I’m also gearing up for a nice 5 day trip to San Francisco. I’ve never been before, so I’m really excited. Although, from what I hear about the weather, I’m pretty perplexed as to what I should pack.

No worries though, since I have the whole week to figure it out!

Where: Work + Lunch Date w/ Hubby

What: Dress ($35 Banana Republic clearance sale), necklace (H&M), bracelet (Forever21), shoes ($30 Michael Kors via eBay), handbag ($88 Botkier via Gilt Groupe)

Here are a few quick pics of me sneaking a weasel date with my husband during lunch. We like to do this from time to time since we work so close to one another.  I usually wear more conservative pumps with this dress, but I decided to step it up a notch for my hot date.

Because of its somewhat drab color (pale grey), it’s easy for this dress to look washed out and boring.  So, I tossed on some dark chunky jewelry to provide contrast.  For next time, I’m thinking a big coral necklace and cocktail ring would be perfection.
