Blouse, skirt, shoes and bag: thrifted
I had a more interesting (well, in my opinion) outfit planned for today involving a short-sleeved sweater, but it was just not happening now that the weather is heating up again. Instead I went for this light blouse and short skirt. Sometimes I feel like I have way too much office attire and not enough casual clothing, which makes sense since I worked in offices for several years before losing my last full-time job. Then again, I still like dressing up a bit and plan on finding another office job, so why drastically change my wardrobe at this point?
In a comment on my last blog post, Courtney asked if I work all day in heels. Well, when I worked in an office, yes, I did. When I work from home, I don’t wear any shoes, but I wear heels out running errands, thrifting, reading at the library, etc. I mostly wear low heels or wedges, though. I know heels aren’t good for my feet, but they’re just so cute!
I agree on the heels! I actually prefer low heels over flats. Sandals or flip flops are exceptions, but I just cannot stand walking around in a flat shoe anymore...which is why I love loafers with even a one inch heel or even just the simple comfort of a wedge. It also just makes me feel so fabulous. haha
ReplyDeleteDarling blouse...gotta love your thrifted finds, girl!

I really love that basic skirt you're wearing. The pretty blouse looks great with it. I wish I had more places to wear heels. I have to walk to class each day during the school year and it's just not practical to walk in heels. It makes me sad haha
ReplyDeleteI love the print on this blouse.
ReplyDeleteCute! I need to look into finding more cute blouses for myself now that my depressed t-shirt era is coming to a close...
ReplyDeleteThat outfit is so pretty, I love the print of your blouse and your adorable hairstyle!

I love the print on your blouse! Your outfits is office appropriate while still being very fashionable and unique- that is hard to do!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say that I'm a heel person, but I usually only wear flats except for special occasions. I'm already 5'10" without heels, and if I am in heels I feel like a giraffe!
Nice skirt! I like the print of it a lot especially with that shirt =)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean- I work in an office and I find that because I dress 5 days a week in professional clothing that often spills over into what I wear on other days as well. But it's ok, I kinda like running around in heels and pretty dresses!
ReplyDeleteHey! I got a little shout out! Exciting. I feel sort of famous.
ReplyDeleteOne of my very best friends (I met her in grad school, but she got me a job a few years after that) used to wear heels almost everyday to work. We worked in publishing (in an office) and I was constantly impressed with her creative outfits. I think I have a hard time in heels because I have bad feet from dancing. The arches are always killing me. But I like the idea of low heels. And wedges are actually very comfortable.
