Week 3
Next week, we are headed to California so this week was pretty busy. I moved up some deadlines and worked pretty long hours so I can take off with ease of mind (and more importantly, no work that needs attention).
Something I’m learning about myself (and wardrobe) as I paint is how much dark colors I wear. Which I think is fine - but I’m considering adding some color into my closet now. If you can’t already tell by the images below, my favorite color is blue - but I also love this burnt orange color and moody pastel colors like mauve. Going to work on getting some of those into my wardrobe soon!
Also - since the weather has dropped, I think I’ll start incorporating coats into my illustrations starting next week!
Monday
Sweater-blazer: J.Crew | Shirt: Abercrombie & Fitch (old) | Jeans: J.Crew | Shoes: J.Crew Factory loafers
When I got dressed Monday morning, it dawned on me that this is basically my fall work uniform. It seems that I stay in the neutral-dark range when it comes to work outfits and I focus on balancing comfort and neatness (for the most part).
Also, this is the same sweater-blazer that I’ve worn at least once a week now. Price per wear, people!
Tuesday
Sweater: Banana Republic | Jeans: J.Crew | Shoes: Ann Taylor
Last Saturday, my mom gave me a haircut and I’ve loved it! However, it’s been a while since I’ve had layers and this shorter length that I’m sort of lost as to what to do with it. I was working towards a big ol deadline on Tuesday that all I could think of to do is put it up in a ponytail.
Wednesday
Rain coat: Marmot | Denim button-up shirt: Madewell | Black Jeans: J.Crew | Bandana: American Eagle (old) | Rain Boots: Hunter
It rained in the morning and afternoon, hence the rain gear. I also love wearing this denim shirt - it’s so comfortable, neat, and still casual. Still hadn’t figured out the hair situation yet…so Wednesday was a low pony day.
Thursday - halloween!
Turtleneck: Madewell (old) | Jeans: J.Crew | Apron: Kate Spade (via TJ Maxx) | Shoes: Ann Taylor | Glasses: somewhere in Indonesia
Linda Belcher in the office!
thursday - post halloween
Sweater/sweatshirt: J.Crew | Leggings: J.Crew Factory
I came home from work a little earlier because our street was going to be closed for trick or treaters. I bought a ton of candy from Costco…but no kiddos showed up :(
So, we went to get dinner instead and had a boozy evening!
FRIDAY
Shirt: Loft | PJ pants: Abercrombie and Fitch
Another day of working from home with a major deadline. I stayed in my PJs most day…and staying this comfortable while intensely looking at numbers on a computer screen is pretty good for a Friday!
