What I Wore to Work Last Week

FRIENDS! REGISTRATION SEASON IS OVER!! Yes, that does deserve all caps. July is a slow month at work, so I'm getting pumped up for that. Meanwhile, I enlisted my co-worker's help to take photos of me last week. Here's what went down.

Monday - The day between events. I was mostly just in my office all day inputting appointment summaries from an event on Friday and preparing for Tuesday. I'm wearing a tank I bought at Macy's approximately fifteen years ago and some linen pants

Tuesday - Registration event. I need to be prepared to walk across campus, complete my presentation, kneel on the ground, and move furniture. I'm wearing a Happy Earth dress from several seasons ago (love this dress) and a bolero from Ann Taylor about ten years ago. It can range from boiling to frigid on building across campus, so I have to be prepared. 

Wednesday - You guys. It was cold and rainy. I hate that. On the plus side, the rain does fabulous things for my hair. I have on a Passion Lillie dress and I spent most of the day wearing a duster from Rowan Grey Clothing.

Thursday - Last registration event of June. Woot woot! Another Happy Earth dress. The white tank is from H&M like a billion years ago. It has held up quite well considering its origin. 

Friday - We had another event on campus for prospective students. *sigh* This was less intensive work, but I still had to be prepared to move tables and cart half our office across campus. It was also quite cool. The shirt is from LL Bean and was a FANTASTIC purchase at the beginning of the summer. The pants are more of the Athleta linen pants. The H&M tank is in play again.


Accessories: I wore Mephisto Helen sandals all week (on the rainy day I had Vionic flip flops in my bag), a silver bracelet from Twisted Silver that I got from Dr. BB as a present before we were married, and my two little purple bracelets from Tobias. I'm still rocking my permanent bracelet that I got in Seattle and my permanent anklet I got with my niece. I have a pair of sapphire earrings and Hey June hoops. LOOK, I like my jewelry. 

Outtakes: Sometimes I think I sound like I am NOT FUN on this blog. But here is proof that I am an utter goof.

Full credit to my co-worker LB who took each and every one of these photos when I would barge into her office with my phone outstretched.

  1. I am here for the fashion show! Dress plus something to put on top in case it gets chilly is the perfect summer wardrobe.

  2. Idk, you seem fun to me!
    Engie, I think we are sharing a brain this week - I just posted a week of outfits too! I love all your work clothes, all of the outfits are fantastic, but if I have to choose a favourite I'd pick Wednesday. I LOVE a duster, and that colour is great on you.
    I love jewelry and accessories. What's the point of getting dressed if you're not going to make it fun? I mean, other than not walking around nude. Clothes are a big source of joy for me and I have had some pieces forever, just like you! I LOVE CLOTHES. More outfit posts from everyone please!!!

  3. I love it! Being a tank top person, I love that tank top from Monday especially. It's definitely fun to see what "normal" people wear to work. I can see that you have fun with it and like your clothes. I on the other hand wear a uniform (well- a uniform shirt and pants of my choice, and my choice is yoga pants) and I have to admit I like not having to ever think about it. You're definitely inspiring me though- I'm starting to think I need a good pair of linen pants for just going out in normal life.

  4. I keep my clothes forever, too. And damn if I didn't get rid of a pair of linen pants several years ago because I rarely wore them. Sigh. Love that duster--so versatile!
