Case of the Tuesdays

Spring Work Outfit

You know what’s worse than a Monday?  Coming back from a tropical vacation on a Tuesday.  Rough, my friends, would be an understatement.

Spring Striped Work Outfit

I wore this little outfit to work a few weeks ago, so let’s be real … I’m probably not looking this put together today.  But a striped jacket and a brightly colored dress makes for one of my favorite work ensembles.  Paired with my favorite ankle-strap heels, it’s a chic standby for when you’re having a major case of the Mondays … or Tuesdays … or any other weekday for that matter.

  5. Ugh, returning from vacation is the worst! When I got back from the Bahamas last year to Chicago in February I could hardly stand it. At least summer is on the horizon!
