Dressing For The Office

in Fashion, Outfit Post on 02/15/16

Simple Winter Outfit: Cozy Sweater, Floppy Hat, Blanket Scarf

Happy Monday! Are you enjoying a long weekend right now? I am, and I’m loving it, especially since the last couple of weeks have been pretty crazy.

You may remember that I recently shared the news that the new job I started in January didn’t end up working out as I’d hoped. Yes, it was a bit disappointing, but it ended up being for the best, because since then, I’ve actually started a different job. Now, I’m working at a marketing and web design agency in the social media department and it already feels like a much better fit! Starting a new job can be daunting, but having to relocate for it can add to that worry. Did you know that companies usually give 2-4 weeks to relocate for a job? So you don’t have to worry about getting it all done at once, that may alleviate some worry there!

It’s been quite a while since I’ve had to dress for meetings and presentations in an office environment, so needless to say, my wardrobe is a bit lacking. My style tends to be quite casual, so I’m on the hunt for a few new pieces to add to my wardrobe to make getting dressed for work a little bit easier.

    Oh I’m so glad that you’ve found something more suitable! Also, your style might be casual, but it’s always so polished that I can totally see it working in a slightly more laid back work setting. This colour combo is amazing!

      I guess I need to figure out the balance between “casual” and “office” while managing to keep my personal spin…but it takes a bit of time!

    Congrats on the new job! Shame that your old job wasn’t a good fit but glad to hear your new one is!
    I feel like I have the opposite problem you have when it comes to corporate wardrobe – too many office suits and not enough casual clothes :/
    Love the color scheme here and the subtle pop of leopard! This is such a great outfit for warmer winter days!

      Thanks! And I guess it’s all what you’re comfortable shopping for. I’m not entirely comfortable shopping for office clothes, so it’s harder for me to pick those out.

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
