summer time!

I’m back!  2 weeks, 5 finals, and a case of sugar-free Red Bull later and summer is finally here!  I can’t explain how great it is to welcome back more carefree days, happy hours, and even the sweltering heat.  More importantly, I’m excited to get back at doing what I love to do most: working on my blog.

I hate to have left it unattended for so long, but I’m back in full force.  This is technically my last summer to truly enjoy myself before I graduate, cram for the bar, and enter the real world — so you better believe my summer plans will include some memorable (and excessively photographed) adventures.

For now, I’m kicking off the summer with bright prints, bold colors, and a big ol’ smile.  Summer feels good.  Real good.

work week.

It’s easy to fall into a habit of wearing monotone outfits at the office, but I love the challenge of incorporating my personal style into the work week.  Ever since I misplaced my favorite charcoal gray skirt (seriously, I feel like a lost a little part of me with it missing), I’ve had to conjure up some new work appropriate looks.

By now, you know that my personal dress code mandates the use of color and there’s no better way to satisfy that requirement than with a few jewel-toned pieces contrasted against a crisp, white button-up.  The tote is one of my favorite bags because it incorporates even more colors while being sturdy enough to carry all of my school/work/personal necessities (which usually include a pair of flip flops for more serious walking distances).

I definitely encourage you to incorporate your personal style into your work wear, but if you’re starting a new job, get a feel for the office before you don anything flashy.  When I first started my current job, I suited completely up, slacks (bleh) and all.  After a while, I got to know my co-workers and they got to know me — professionally and then stylistically.

purple + pastel.

f21 cardigan + top + shorts; steve madden flats

Back in undergrad, I used to be a jeans girl — denim pants, denim shorts, denim skirts. Life was so easy in jeans. Then again, where’s the fun in that?

I’ve been making a conscious effort to inject a little color into my pants and shorts (pink pants anyone?). It’s a fun challenge discovering new color combos beyond those that involve denim blue. Best of all, a little color is a surefire way to cure the Monday blues.

A little shout out to the man behind the cam!
