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. And actually, this job was a lot more professional regarding employee vetting and research. It always feels weird being offered a job without the employer even asking you one question about your life? This employer was on top of their game regarding employee screening, they even had contacts with DNA testing (via websites such as https://www.health-street.net/location/chicago-il-dna-testing/) if that was something I was interested in. It instantly felt more of a safe working environment than the previous job I had initially felt disappointed about. 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!
Yana says

Jackie says
Thanks Katie! It’s a great hat, and I love it because it’s small enough for my little head š
Deborah says
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!
Jackie says
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.
Kathleen says
Burgundy looks amazing on you! Love your chic boots too. So stylish – for work OR for play!
