About the Day

Just another day at the office. For some reason I had the desire to look extra "businessy" today. I tied a printed scarf on to hold my hair back and to keep the outfit from being too boring.

Where

To get pictures for What I Wore's Style Challenge- Safari Chic!

Why

This "skirt" is actually a pretty awesome pencil dress. Although I wore it as a dress to work, I decided to add my ruffle sleeved top and studded belt to make this outfit a little more interesting. Today I also went shopping in my mom's jewelry box again- hence all the pretty vintage rings.

Ugh. After a litfetime of working with my stick straight hair, I'm finally able to coax it into whatever shape I want. My hair is a perfect little chameleon... except when its humid outside like today :( I curled and teased my hair from these pictures, but within 10 minutes it completely fell (if you don't believe me, see the photo above.)

May 24: Gray Denim Revival

What

Skirt: Old Navy, $5

Top: Target, $15

Belt: Gap Outlet, $6

Heels: Dillard's (Antonio Melani), $30

Sunglasses: Rue 21, $6

Where

Working all day and then getting Chinese takeout and a movie with my mom :)

Why

I bought this skirt early last year in super sale at Old Navy, but haven't ever worn it because I then went through a phase where I decided I hated denim skirts. I actually saw someone with a really awesome outfit on and I realized, Hey, I have that skirt! So here is my grey denim pencil skirt revival. I actually really did like the way the outfit turned out though. It was casual, but at the same time cute and put together enough for work.

On a more personal note, besides dressing nice, what makes you feel better when you're down? My mom and I used to fight all the time, but ever since college we've gotten SO much closer, hence the Chinese food and movie night, which definitely does make those not-so-awesome days much better :)
