Yes, it's been a bit fast-paced as of late!
Hooray, it’s Friday! Yesterday marked the successful completion of a
couple of super-big projects at work.
I welcome the tad-bit-slower clip I’ll enjoy this next few weeks.
There’s a change of pace on the home front, too. This
weekend is the first one in some time that nothing
is scheduled. This evening, I plan
on crafting an “All I Want This Weekend” list—map out those things I want to
enjoy, accomplish—even feel (e.g.
relaxed, creative, blissful, etc.) this weekend. Yum!
Yesterday, I continued onward with my pledge to infuse fun,
daring and whimsy into my workplace wardrobe. This, too, is somewhat of a shift as I, historically, have played it pretty “safe” with my workplace stylings. Below, are a few examples of how I did so:
Wore two watches at once
The secret to this is pairing
a larger and smaller watch (or larger grouping of watches of various
sizes)—versus putting the same sized pieces together.
Donned sparkle shoes
Wednesday, I sported
the dress I wore to my son’s wedding into the office. Yesterday, I wore the
shoes (Nine West) I bought for that momentous occasion to work. In doing so, I flexed both my creative
and courage muscles a bit, and that felt fab! Stretched my wardrobe again, too!
Repurposed a necklace
The necklace featured above is actually a long strand. The look I was going for, yesterday, was that of a statement necklace (the shorter variety everyone is wearing right now). No problem. I wrapped the strand around my neck a few times and fastened it in the back. Instantly, I was in vogue!
Showed a little lace
Wore a blouse as a
jacket
It’s been awfully
stuffy these past few days. Thursday, I opted to switch out my jacket for a
blouse (Forever 21). It was a
comfier option and looked every bit as polished.
Joy and hugs!
