The fanciest food in the world couldn't make me love you more

Hey guys! I'm back …with another post … I must say, I have been getting some great feedback (both emails and comments) from you guys and it puts a smile on my face… =) … I received an email requesting a “work clothes” sort of post ….so I decided this would be the perfect time to show you guys the sort of thing I might wear (sans jeans during the week….this is for dress down Fridays) … I actually wore this while out for a very quick Starbucks run with J… I felt like wearing something simple yet classy …and of course, when I get something new I cant WAIT to wear it …hence the BCBG blazer..this is the one I picked up at Value Village in size xxs for $18 … I LOVE it so much and can see myself wearing this to work quite often… it has that perfect fit and little touch of unique to make it something that transitions its way from the office to “play time” depending on what I wear it with… Notice the stitching =)

So here goes… in terms of work clothes….I tend to wear a lot of black skinny pants/dress pants with either blazers and a simple tee or dress shirt (nothing groundbreaking in terms of office wear) and boots … I like the way skinny pants can work with flats/heels.boots…they work for all seasons (try stuffing flared or wide legged pants into your boots during the winter…not a pretty look in my opinion)

The jewellery is where it gets a little more interesting I guess you can say …for example the bracelet I am wearing in these photos …chunky and bold and appropriate for the office ….The studded cuffs, leather straps, chains etc …stay at home!

If it interests you I can show you guys my “work closet” and the sort of things I might wear .. Just let me know! I think its important to buy pieces that you can see yourself wearing outside of the office as well but again…it depends on the environment you work in as well as how “funky” of a style you might have…some spaces are more lenient than others (and foster more of a creative approach/outlook when it comes to personal appearance and dress)….my style is a little random and very much depends on my mood…although one consistent trend seems to be my love of vintage as well as an awesome bargain …you will rarely see me wearing something that I didn't either A) get on sale or B) buy at Value Village …well except for these jeans :p…

PS Value Village had a 50% off sale today and I cant WAIT to show you guys the crazy Vintage gold studded Holt Renfrew belt that I found…as well as a vintage brown leather purse, studded silk top and vintage sunglasses (round frame ….lets see if I can pull them off)!!
