Spring Color Explosion

In honor of the blooming flowers and warm weather I opted for my work wear look to be filled with color! I wanted to wear these amazing BCBG shoes and basically paired everything else around it. I loved the idea of teal and hot pink, I feel like a superman ice cream cone. It's easier to rock some bold prints and colors with an overall neutral to tie it all together, so I opted for the black and cream base. Keep checking out the blog for updates on this week of wedding fun!!

Work Wear Wednesday: Peplum Safari

Ah...work wear wenesday. I love to come up with new work looks. It's a delicate balance between style and practicality. Today's look is all about the blouse. This super cute (super old) leopard print peplum blouse is one of my favs! Last year I wrote a post about this piece and I had put it in my 'clothes to sell' pile, but I attempt to wear each item at least once and see if I'll change my mind. Long story short, this one snuck out of the pile and back into my closet. Sneaky little thing! I love pairing this top with neutral pants and shoes and a nice pop of jewels on top! Simply perfect for this beautiful hump day!

Enjoy your week everyone! #halfway

In need of heat

I am currently in the need of heat. That Indiana Spring that I'm always spouting off about is letting me down. These brisk temps and ridiculous wind is not making my heart happy. On a different note, I also need heat from an iron! Look at my skirt, yikes. Oh well, nothing fits anymore and I have to attempt to be professional at work, so what can a girl do. I love this combo and if the skirt didn't look like it came straight out of the bottom of my hamper, I'd be happier with it. Orange and Navy is one of those perfect color combos, some artsy person could explain this in depth, but I just love the way they look together! 

Enjoy your Thursday!

Work Wear Wednesday: Highlighter Yellow

Yay for Wednesdays! I get a recharge on Wednesdays knowing that it's the middle of the week and there's only fun ahead. I'm having a blast coming up with some unique and fun looks for the Work Wear Wednesday and this beautiful weather doesn't hurt. I love this look for a couple different reasons. I love the funky color and pattern of the skirt, the pairing of yellow and the peach in the necklace, and lastly the style of sleeve on this shirt. This almost cap sleeve is trending right now and I just love it! It's very reminiscent of 70's style, which is just fine with me, because I love that era. I'd venture say that seventie's fashion is probably the most dominant era of inspiration for this years trends. What do you think?

Work Wear Wednesday: Neon

Another day another dollar. If you were looking for a work motto for the day, there ya go!
I had a fun time getting ready this morning, because I found these amazing neon pants that have been hiding for almost a year in my Spring wardrobe, they are also one piece from the top 10 remix challenge I'm following, details below! I love the bright fun color and they are super comfortable, which is key when dressing for work. I needed to pair them with something a little more subtle, since I'm not trying to burn my co-worker's retinas. I opted for this adorable new top from the Loft. I love pairing black and white with a pop of color, it really makes for a treat for the eyes!

Top 10 Remix Challenge:
From the fabulous mind behind Sarah's Real Life comes a great fashion challenge, check it out and join the fun!

Here's the gist: "All you have to do is pick ten things from your closet that you think are the epitome of your style, and then work at least one of those ten things into each outfit you wear for the month."

Working girl

I recently indulged in my favorite movie of all time...Working Girl! It's a lovely story of woman in the 80's cutting off her crimped mullet and becoming a success! Well, there's more to it than that, she also get with Harrison Ford. Not bad girl, not bad. Granted, none of this has to do with my look today except that it's a work look and my hair is a little bigger than usual!

Double Take: Work wear

Since work is going so well, I got to meet up with one of my esteemed colleagues for drinks at a hot spot in Broad Ripple, Delicia. I got to pick her brain about her success and get some invaluable tips on not only being successful, but striving in a male dominated work place! She was so inspiring. I recommend anyone out in the workforce to take the time to speak with as many people you look up to as possible. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by resources like my great staff. They are consistently encouraging me and affirming that I'm doing great work and am an asset to the team! 

Ps. this is what I wore to meet up with her. obviously.

Work Wear Wednesday: Belted Scarf

I love this long sleeve dress, it's so comfy and very professional! The strip of leather takes the dress from boring to chic, but from there it still needs something to make it a full look! I'm obsessed with the new trend of belting a scarf! It's a great way to include a scarf, but not have it all sorts of bunched up by your neck. This is especially nice with these rising temps, hello 50's! Overall this work look is comfy, easy to work in, and still on trend. What do you think?!
