Thank goodness I work in a casual workplace! I don't know how I'd survive if I had to wear formal work attire. Suits and jackets make me feel butch and old, and I've decided that I'll have many many years to be old and stuffy so I'l save that stuff for later.
Casual also isn't an excuse to not iron my clothing... bad bad Sophia!
Gap top (6-7 yrs ollld)
Banana Republic skirt (has pockets! yay!)
Nine West pumps
H&M dress
Forever 21 belt (looking at this pic, I realize a skinny belt would've worked better, except that I don't own one that fits the small of my waist >_< )
Cinderella of Boston shoes (my walk to work shoes.. I walk 0.8 miles each way!)
And my usual all black ensemble w/a nonblack top thrown in (oooh soooo creative Sophia..)
H&M striped tee
Forever 21 skirt
yesstyle.com cardigan
Nine West kitten heels
There is a French woman in my office who dresses impeccably. She wears Hermes scarves, and uses Hermes scarf rings (http://bit.ly/9dZliL). I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS SUCH THING AS A SCARF RING! She just looks expensive! But as far as her clothing goes, you know the crazy part? She wears mostly Gap and H&M! Leave it to the French to turn cheap clothing into something fabulous and chic. If that ability was for sale, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
You must be the best dresed girlie at work! Such great outfits.
ReplyDeletesophia i love the first color combo-- the turquoise and the khaki is cute together!very summer appropriate. i have a yellow br dress like the one you're wearing in the 2nd pic. i think it looks fine with the thick belt. reminds me that i should wear it mine.
ReplyDelete^Kimmy~ you're too sweet! I don't know about best dressed, but I will say that I dress better than the girl who wears Uggs to work, or the girl who wears tops with funky logo/Engrish words!
ReplyDeletePing ~ I like the color combo too! Makes me want to shop for more turquoise tops.
I love that yellow dress. It's so chic. I didn't know there was such thing as scarf ring either. I wouldn't spend that kind of $$ on a scarf ring anyway :)
ReplyDeletePLG ~ that makes 2 of us!! I'd rather buy like 10 dinners with that money lol!
ReplyDeleteI also love the first look most, I am in general a big fan of softer looks and you wore it perfectly. Give yourself more fashion credit, I bet the french girl at work must be secretly admiring your look too. :)
ReplyDelete^Elle you're sweet :) I also think it's the accent.. having a French accent just gives one an air of fabulosity and chicness!
ReplyDeleteCute outfits!
ReplyDeleteBe careful not to wear shoes with heels that are too high to work!
ReplyDeleteErm... how do you use a scarf ring? :P And you should get a belt hole puncher! So cheap ($7) and it'll make almost any belt work!
ReplyDeleteomg! U look so skinny with the first skirt! Envious~!!!!! I like all your outfits, casual yet sophisticated!
ReplyDelete^Jen ~ thanks!
ReplyDeleteKate ~ hehe sounds like something my mom would say! She always worries that my heel will get caught in an escalator >_<
PetiteXXS ~ haha goood question! I'm not quite sure how it stays up and attached to the scarf.. I will buy one! My sister bought one recently for her shoes and love it!
Dblchin ~ haha look who's talking!
Wow I wish I could dress like that to go to work too! xD I like the last outfit most! Classic, chic& simple ;)
ReplyDeleteooo nice outfits!!! you look good!
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with basic black! I look like that photo every day : ) And I like the first skirt very much...is it 00P?
ReplyDeletelove the styling! and this is my first time hearing that there is such thing as a hermes scarf ring !
ReplyDeleteaww i love all your work outfits! i'm just dreading the day i have to wear white lab coat everywhere, everyday x_x you look very mature and fashionable at the same time! sneak some pics of your coworker too haha
ReplyDelete^Saline~ did you have to wear a lab coat for your internship?
ReplyDeletearsyparsy~ thanks!
PAG~ Yes, the skirt is 00P, from 2-3 yrs ago though.
Saving Bett ~ thanks! And I don't think they're very common.. at least not in the U.S.!
Angie ~ aw thanks! You can always wear a fun outfit underneath the coat and surprise your coworkers :o
Lovely outfits. And yes, the french have such a great style.xx

oh i know how it feels!! i also work in a casual work place and I am majorly thankful <3
ReplyDeleteYou look fab! I'm envious of you right now! And you walk 0.8 miles to work! No wonder why your so fit! :) <3 Chauie
ReplyDelete^Thanks Ara! And that quesadilla on your blog looks sooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteNicole ~ lucky us ;)
Chauie ~ I enjoy the walk, and thank goodness for it b/c I dropped my gym membership!
Sophia, I think these are some pretty darn cute work outfits! When I worked briefly at my old internship, I just wore plain tops and dark work pants all the time =__=;; & I'm glad you don't choose to just wear suits.. I remember what you told me at our meetup last time- we have all the rest of our life to be old and boring so it's okay to look young now :P something along those lines hehe.
ReplyDeleteI am loving these casual work outfits you put together!!!! I want to pick a favorite but I love all of them!!!!!
