Workplace PJs + Weekend Reading

This week my posts have been very work-wear focused, and I thought I'd wrap it up with the equivalent of workplace pajamas. Everything here is soft, loose, and machine washable. Except the jewelry (natch). This top is also from the socially conscious brand Everlane, and my tank is made in USA and feels as soft as a puppy's tummy. I am ready for this long week to be over and to get some rest! Good thing I'm already dressed for it = ) 

Sweater | Everlane Cotton Sweater  - Read my review here + (Another cozy option)
Top | Lanston
Pants | Gap
Shoes | J. Crew Cece Flat (certain colors on sale) 
Earring (bar) | Kathleen Whitaker 

Speaking of jewelry, I forced myself to put on earrings, a ring, and a necklace today. I'm basically heavily adorned by my standards. I recently got the Kathleen Whitaker Long Staple Stud in silver, and I love how long the bar is. I think it looks cool with most of my other earrings and it allows me to fully utilize the ear piercings that I have. 

Pop of color with the shoes.

And now, some reading for your weekend perusal:
1. With such fun photos: "Meet the Woman who Smashes Makeup For a Living" (Racked)

2. Over at GoFugYourself, a roundup of some of Michelle Obama's best dresses: GoFugYourself (she really is the most fashionable FLOTUS)

3. At Glossy, an interview with 6 millenials to find out how they shop. What do you think - is this how you shop? 

4. Lastly, is this Rent-a-Swag come to life: The Rise of the Stich-Fix for Kids, Children's Clothing Model (Glossy)

Have a great weekend!

Bow Wow

The title of this post amuses me, because I am referring to a bow, like rhymes with go (and which is on my shirt), but by putting it next to wow, you instantly think I mean bow like rhymes with now and it is hard to switch your brain back to the other pronunciation.

My evil genius knows no bounds haha.

Just a simple work outfit today, featuring a slightly whimsical tie-front blouse. These flats are also my new favorite work shoes - the Cece ballet flat from J. Crew. I find their pricing to be so erratic, when I bought these a few months ago they were majorly discounted, but now are full price on the website. If they go on sale again I will totally buy more - they are really cute and comfortable. I found they run TTS. 

Top and Cardigan | Random brands from Nordstrom Rack
Pants | Gap Skinny Ankle Pants
Shoes | J. Crew Cece Ballet Flats in Suede

I feel like this print would also fit in nicely on a child's plastic toy.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fancy Pants

Sometimes, you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone. For me, although I've gotten comfortable with printed dresses, printed pants are another story entirely. Typically, I am all about jeans, or work pants in black or navy (I know - wild). I saw these at a consignment store, took a chance, and ended up digging the pattern.

Pants | 3.1 Phillip Lim
Sweater | Gap
Shoes | Calvin Klein
Carpet | Ugly, unfortunately
