For the majority of my career, I’ve worked for nonprofit organizations. I love the work and I love that I feel good about what I do because I know we’re making a difference in the community. I also appreciate that I’ve never really had a hard dress code. Mostly, it’s always been wear whatever you want as long as you didn’t sleep in it (you know, pajamas). My current office is business casual which roughly translates to “anything but regular blue jeans” except on casual Fridays. And I really like this because it forces me to put some thought into my work wear without having to follow guidelines that are too rigid. Some days I feel like dressing up a little more than others and our business casual allows for that.
In my office, it’s not uncommon to see anything from skirt/pant suits to pretty skirts to chinos and a nice blouse. And I’ve worn them all. This is an outfit I work to work last week and it fit quite nicely. It could easily be a drab gray and white number but all of the little details take it up a notch. The tied belt and pleats add visual interest to the trousers while the sparkle of the shoe adds a little pep in my step š
Who says you can’t look cute and fun even when you sit at a desk, entering data?! Now I just have to do something about that hair.

You have no idea how happy I am that your back and posting! I’ve missed your posts! Glad our healthy and feeling better. Plus your outfits keep getting cuter and cuter! Love the sparkle of the pumps with this!
Thanks, Aidan! It feels good to be back. And those sparkle pumps are my most favorite pair of shoes that I own so far š
Super chic! The tie on those pants is amazing. I work for a nonprofit too and like you said, I love how rewarding this line of work is. It’s great you love your job and look fashionable while doing it.
