Workday Wardrobe || Week 3

MONDAY

This outfit looked a lot better in person than it does in this picture... so that is sad. Black flowy top (H&M) paired with my greyishtan skirt (Downeast Basics) and my new Christmas necklace (Boehm). This has been one of Adam's favorite outfits and I got a lot of compliments at work. Clearly this photo does no justice.

Tuesday

This outfit is brought to you by my mother. Because she picked it all out... besides the scarf. I replaced her scarf with my own, because frankly I didn't know how to wear the one she bought. Tan wide legged pants (Old Navy), orange sweater for some color (Loft), and my favorite animal print scarf (Soel). All finished off with the shoes of the month, nude pumps from Target.

Wednesday

The favorite outfit of the week. This outfit got the most love on instagram (@lovetheskinnys). I think mostly because everyone loves that mint pleated skirt (Soel). Paired with a simple patterned shirt (Forever21) and a hand-me-down braided belt from Mom's closet. Nude pumps (Target).

Thursday

Taking it back to business with a mock little black dress made from a black basic tee (DowneastBasics) and a Halogen high waist pencil skirt (Nordstom). A belt to make it seamless (Target) and a blazer (Forever21) to bring the business. Two toned shoes (TJ Maxx) and a yellow and crystal necklace (Chicos) for flair.

Friday

I wasn't feeling well so this outfit was for comfort. A green maxi (Gap) with a basic black tee (SexyModest). Throw on a cardigan for warmth (Target) and... the first time I have ever worn flats at work... the silver bow flats which are hand me downs from Mom.

So there you have it. This week's outfits in a nutshell. I am debating to share them on Instagram or just in the post. Any preferences from you guys? Also. Any outfits or ideas you are looking for? What do you wear to work?

Love,

Deidre

P.S. Look forward to a guest post and giveaway tomorrow!

Dear Ski Racks,

Do you want to know the worst part about living in Utah in the winter? Besides the snow and all of that... which isn't bad at first, but after about two months it becomes the worst. It is being a driver with a lead foot on the freeway. Just driving along and then suddenly you see the car in front of you and your heart stops. And you have to ask yourself. Ski rack or police lights? Slow down or keep driving? Risk it all or play it safe?

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SKI RACKS!? Oh that is right... I am in Utah with the greatest snow on earth. Dang it. I can't take another scare like that.

Love,

Deidre

Dear Fashion Friday,

Two things about this post that makes me not even want to post it:

1. I slept in a little every day. So look questionable and I don't really love my outfits because they were put together from whatever I could find in my messy closet since I need to do laundry.
2. We were in a hurry every morning so the pictures aren't my favorite, which also contributes to me looking questionable.

Why am I even pretending I know how to dress well?! With that being said.... I still feel the need to post Fashion Friday because it is sort of fun. And sometimes people like how I dress... which makes me question your taste in clothing? Just kidding. It doesn't. I know you guys dress better than me. I see your blog posts!

So there you have it. Don't say I never tried! Also. Does anyone else find it extremely difficult to dress right now? When I wake up it is chilly and so I put on boots and a jacket. And then when I leave work it is like 78 degrees! And boots are far too hot... Lets just make it fall all the time. What fall fashion are you pumped for? Boots and scarves anyone?

Love,

Dear Fashion Friday,

Four outfits and two similar looks. I have been really busy with all the moving and whatnot that I haven't had much time to try and mix and match my wardrobe. Plus. Most of my clothes are in the laundry pile anyway. So I have been sticking with what I know. Which is pencil skirts and scarves.

Outfit 1

Scarf: Gift | Shirt: KMart | Pants: Cotton On | Shoes: Payless {similar} | Belt: Mom's closet

Outfit 2

Scarf: Soel Boutique {similar} | Denim Shirt: H&M | Black Shirt: Downeast Basics | Sequin Layered Shirt: Nordstrom Rack {similar} | Pants: Target {similar} | Shoes: F21

From these pictures I learned that my face with bangs and a top knot isn't super flattering... 

Chubby bunny anyone?

Outfit 1

Shirt: SheInside | Skirt: SexyModest Boutique | Shoes: Dillards {similar} | Necklace: Caroline G.

Outfit 2

Blazer: Deseret Industries | Shirt: ModBod | Skirt: SexyModest Boutique | Shoes: Target {clearance} | Necklace: F21 {similar}

Okay. I just want you to know how BOMB the Sexy Modest skirt is. I love it. And it does with everything. So comfy. So stylish. And it comes in like every color. One of my besties has it in grey. If you need a new pencil skirt GO to Sexy Modest and get this one. If you order online click on the link above, click "On Bottoms", and a few pages back will be "Scrunchy Colored Skirts". You will not regret it.

I am SO SO SO excited for Fall weather which is slowly creeping in. Boots and scarves and tights and sweaters. YES. What fall fashion are you excited for?

Love,

Deidre

Dear Fashion Friday,

I was able to catch two outfits for you this week. And lets be honest... they aren't very good ones. And also my computer is having SERIOUS issues. So editing them to make the photos fun and fancy for you wasn't an option either. So here we go.

Shirt - H&M | Skirt: Downeast Basics {similar} | Shoes: Target {similar} | Necklace: Forever 21 | Bag: Miche | Muffin: Costco

Top: H&M | Pants: Sexy Modest {similar} | Shoes: Target {simliar} | Necklace: Caroline G. 

After starting to follow so many fashion bloggers... I am realizing how bad I am at the fashion part of my lifetstyle. No cute bracelets. No fancy poses. Always the same shoes. Tan pumps or leopard flats. Take your pick. This is a work in progress peeps!

Love,

Deidre
