Work Snaps

I work from home, so my work attire is limited to gym clothes left on from the morning workout or comfy kick around clothes like Juicy sweats and hoodies.  Unless 1) I have a hot lunch date or 2) I am heading out for an errand where I may encounter *gasp* people.  The other exception is when I have a work meeting or workshop to teach (I am in the corporate training world in real life).  Then, I get to get gussied up and pull out my heels, tights, and whatever else I have stored away in the little used and rarely visited "work" section of my closet.

That section is a bit sad and a tad outdated but I have a few gems in there.  And, I add a piece or two per season, especially if they can be re-styled to work for a dinner out or other occasion.

I had a few recent trips and took some quick pics in my hotel room. (As you can see, I am not staying in 5 stars. And apparently hotels like to put full length mirrors in front of doors so you look like you are on lock down.)

Look #1 - I re purposed a casual BCBG dress that I love.  It is a but too mini for work so I added black textured tights, gray suede pumps, and a tailored black blazer.


The BCBG dress is ON SALE now (wasn't for me -- boo!), very comfy, and has great pockets in the skirt which I love. Click the image above to buy.

Look #2 - Here I paired a shirt sleeve cropped blazer with a simple white cami, (I love the camis from Costco that come in a 2-pack - yep fashion by Kirkland!) dark brown wide leg pants, a chunky chain necklace, and a tan/browm ombre patent peep toe pumps from Tahari.

(This hotel positioned the mirror in a bit nicer position)

Many of these pieces are old old old, but if you want to hop on the cropped blazer trend, you can check out the one below.
