look book: the 9 to 5

July 13, 2012

I'm lucky to work in an office that doesn't uphold a strict dress code. Jean cut offs, crop tops, you name it, pretty much anything goes. I guess that's how it should be when you work in fashion. I still like sticking to certain guidelines, but I love being able to show my personality with my outfits. This is a typical outfit I'd wear to work. Instead of the typical black or gray pencil skirt I choose skirts in pretty colors or fun prints. Same goes for the blouses. My eyes have still been bugging me during the week so I've been a 5 days a week glasses girl.
blouse c/o Love Shopping Miami, skirt vintage {similar}, belt Gap, shoes Seychelles, purse c/o Brahmin,  
glasses Ralph Lauren

Sorry for the minimal posting this week. We're moving this weekend and it was as crazy and hectic as I expected. I'm so ready to be settled and unpacked in our new place.

Have a great weekend everyone! Hope you all have more fun than I'll be having :)
