Aside from getting ready for my trip back to the East Coast next weekend (and my sister’s impending bridal shower!), I still managed to find a bit of time this weekend to prep some fun things coming up here on the blog, pick up pretty flowers that instantly brighten our kitchen table, have a lunch date with friends, and go on a classic date night (that ended with a kiss atop Santa Monica Pier’s Ferris Wheel – which may in fact be the best time $5 can buy..). Tonight we’re having a couple of friends over for dinner and Grammy watching before gearing up for another week – and figuring out what on Earth my California closet has to help me survive a polar vortex? Hope you all had a great weekend!
p.s. While I didn’t win the trip to WWD Magic, my heart swells with the thought of all of you that took the time to vote. Thank you.
I’ve talked a bit before about dressing for work in a creative office but I realized I hadn’t really shown you what I was up to, sartorially speaking, during the hours of 9-5 lately. Much like my desire to wear a catholic school girl uniform despite going to public school, I find myself secretly wishing I had a reason to wear crisp pencil skirts and fitted blazers even though my workplace in no way requires it. My trick is to find a way to wear the classics, but give them a playful spin. So I trade the button down and blazer look for a sleeveless (faux) leather shell and sleeveless trench vest. And instead of a tweed pencil skirt – this flouncy hemmed version. Classic pumps always work, but these are made a bit more fun in cobalt blue. Here’s to shaking up the work week.. and really, just surviving it until Friday rolls around again.
