Favorite Position: CEO

You know when a movie just has exceptional styling? And you spend hours trying to figure out where everything is from, why it’s styled so well, who styled it, how to get similar pieces?

That was me after watching The Intern. Anne Hathaway’s character is a total Boss (even if she has some character flaws, but I won’t ruin the ending) and is always a perfect mix of classic and casual. Almost every scene showed her in wide leg, high waisted silk trousers. So you know what I did? I spent the next two weeks buying every pair of high waisted silk trousers in my size from local thrift stores. I’m not even kidding I got about 6 pairs. Mind you, I work in a very casual office so these weren’t even necessary but who cares? I’m ready to start embracing the modern CEO look! Now, I just need to start a bomb a** company and make the moolah. In the interim, here’s a fun but classic corporate look to inspire all you fellow worker bee’s to step it up in the office!

Power Dressing

There’s something powerful about a classic blazer; no matter the size, shape, or what you pair it with you feel powerful in one. I found this vintage Escada blazer on Ebay and mannn I feel like a future CEO every time I throw it on. The 90s style blazer is a perfect throwback brought new again as it’s akin to the modern “boyfriend blazer” style. Pairing it with jeans and fun shoes make it perfect for a professional yet trendy casual Friday look.

A little 9to5 style insp. for you! Blue is one of my go-to colors to wear, and navy and teal is very much included in that. Pairing the two together creates a cohesive look that’s still a little fun and glam thanks to some shimmer fibers and cozy textures.

Don’t Fear Baby Cuz You and Me Are Golden

When you can’t breathe, it’s you that I’ll be holdin’
Yes, I’m all in, through thick and thin
This is good loving; you and me are golden

It’s been a busy end to summer…while I’ve had more free time from work I’ve surprisingly felt less like taking outfit photos for the blog and more like embracing experiences with friends. Happy hours after work and my favorite volunteer projects have held a higher importance to me. #SorryNotSorry. I’m planning trips, a few [minor] blog changes, and plans with friends, bloggers and not. I’m finding new loves in life, but am still in love with blogging.

So, dear followers and readers, accept this bold and fun 9 to 5 style post as a peace offering for my minimal posting as of late, as a “thank you for your patience” with me.

Polka dots are such a fun print to style these days, and nothing brightens up a crisp fall day like orange hues!

It’s The Devil That’s Trying to Hold Me Down

I sold my soul to a three-piece
And he told me I was holy
He’s got me down on both knees

Guys. Imagine my excitement when I found a jumpsuit that fit…It’s been a point of contingence with me and shopping for a solid two years now, but I’ve finally done it. And the best part? It’s dressy enough to be able to wear with a blazer to work. WHAT? You mean we can wear jumpsuits to work?  Yes. And it’s so fab.
