eek, so as already mentioned, today is my first day of my new jobby! starting a new gig always makes me so totally nervous...so much to learn, so many new names to remember, a new routine to figure out. reminds me of the first day of school every year when i spent the entire night before trying on every single article of clothing in my closet for the oh-so-perfect back to school outfit...and yes...i went through the exact same process last night.
i want to wear something that's kinda a "take me [kinda] seriously and i can look casually professional while not looking too cookie cutter" type of thing. i ended up with something just like this (subject to change when it actually comes time to get dressed):
clockwise from top left:
- ann taylor silk georgette open stitch shirt, ann taylor, $49.99 + an extra 25% off
- muse bag, yves saint laurent, $1,395
- spanx swiss dot tights, shopbop, $28
- follies suede wedge in purple, seychelles via overstock.com, $61.99 from $80
- blossom belted skirt, forever21, $17.80
ps. i'm gonna wear the skirt with a black belt instead of the floral but i couldn't find a photo.
when styled impecabbly like on blogger rachelle hruska in this month's lucky, the spring trend of maxi skirts is that much more appealing. i plan to embrace the trend as the temperatures rise steadily in austin over the next few weeks. the biggest hindrance? the price tag of those i've fallen in love with so far. rag & bone has some serious beauties, including this one for a hefty $395. i'm on a mission to find one just as gorge. anyone seen any good ones for less?
