Keeping it casual
http://childpsychiatryassociates.com/treatment-team/mary_hilliard-200/ For someone so prone to dropping food on themselves, I should never wear any color that comes close to white. It’s true. Most of my shirts have some stain or another. That’s why my secret is to wear dark and patterned shirts! However when I saw this Joie “Eleanor” blouse, I knew I had to have it. But I also knew that any time I ate in this, I would have to wear 3-4 bibs to protect myself. :)

Hello Polka Dots!
Somehow the Marc by Marc Jacobs line is always able to stay modern, yet vintage at the same time. This blouse has the basics of any old polka dot blouse, but with some extra details in the front. I usually don’t like big bows in the front either, but find that the polka dots on this one make it less serious.

Blushing Pinks
I saw this beautiful tulle skirt on modcloth and had to check it out. It’s so convenient that they finally started offering free shipping and returns too! I remember seeing frilly mini skirts all over Japan last winter and they always seemed so feminine and fun. Glad I could finally find one that suits my style (and isn’t ridiculously short on my 5’9″ frame).

The Laid Back Bodycon Dress
I saw this James Perse ruched dress in stores the other day and didn’t think much of it. I figured, “Eh, I’ll just try it on”. But the minute I put it on, it was like butter. James Perse is known to have super soft tanks and tees and this is no exception. It may not look like it, but it feels like you’re wearing your old college tee to work.

Color in Your Work Wear
“What am I going to wear to work today?”. Being surrounded by casually dressed engineers in California sometimes has it’s downside. I find myself getting “lazy” in my style choices and not always going for the more polished and professional look. Flats usually win over heels. Sometimes I wish the dress code were more like my friends who work in the financial districts of New York, but hey, the grass is always greener, right?

Spring with Lilacs and Greys
With Spring here, I have been taking advantage of finally not having to wear pants to work. This Free People bodycon skirt has strategic lace panels on the front, back, and side and could easily be part of a boudoir collection. Since there is a lot of detail in the skirt, I kept the rest of the outfit simple with just a regular old slub T-shirt and some basic sandals.
