Yellow Skirt Two Ways

July 26, 2021 by Nikki No Comments

So, these outfits are way more similar than different, but that’s okay. What I like about them is they show how you can slightly dress the skirt up with a nice ruffly cap sleeve blouse or you can dress it down slightly with a lemon tank top. Either way, they’re both fun and comfortable.

Blouse & Shirt: Loft Outlet | Sandals: Old Navy

I wore this outfit during a virtual board meeting for my part-time gig where I was taking meeting minutes. Even though they could only see my face and shoulders, I still felt cute AF and that’s all that matters!

Tank top: Target | Skirt: Loft Outlet | Sandals: Old Navy

I wore this outfit for a day of working a little for my part-time gig and then running errands after. There really isn’t anything much better for summer than a shirt with adorable little lemons on it matched with a yellow skirt. And now I want some lemonade.

I hope y ‘all are having a good summer and appreciate how much yellow is such a happy color!

White Denim Screams Spring To Me

May 21, 2021 by Nikki No Comments

Truth be told, I didn’t really feel like wearing cute clothes at the beginning of the year. It was cold, I had no where to go and no one to show off my cute clothes to, so most days I just threw on regular ol’ jeans and whatever shirt felt comfortable that day.

But then I started working part time for a really cool start up nonprofit in my town that works to reduce trash and single-use plastics in the community AND the weather started to warm up. One particularly sunny, warm day, I found myself in my closet excited about getting dressed. And these white denim jeans just scream “spring” to me!

Jacket: Gap | Blouse & White Denim: LOFT | Sandals: Old Navy

I mostly work from home but I wore this outfit to my new office to focus on a few tasks that needed to be completed. It was just what the fashion doctor ordered because I’ve been more and more excited about putting together cute outfits so I’m hoping you’ll see me around a lot more!

WFHW: Cozy Business Casual

November 12, 2020 by Nikki No Comments

Here’s the next outfit in my Work-From-Home Wardrobe Series where I display the cute outfits I’m wearing while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

Please excuse the distractions on my shelf in this photo but I got some really good lighting by placing the mirror in this position! I’ve been slacking when it comes to getting dressed up for work, but I’m getting back on the ball with it. The desk in my home office sits right beneath the air vent and with the NC weather so warm the last few days, we’ve had the A/C turned on so I’ve been colder than usual during the day. Hence the cute sweater.

Blouse, sweater, and trousers: Banana Republic (all old) | Flats: Target (old)

This outfit is perfect for the office, home office, or any occasion where you need a simple business casual outfit. I love wearing all neutrals and then adding a little bit of interest with the leopard print flats. Those are just for show, though, because I’m not going anywhere and spend most of my time barefoot, which I also love. Oh, and I got a haircut. It was feeling way too long before, but this length and bob/lob style is my favorite. Overall, I’m feeling pretty good!

WFHW: Joggers

September 28, 2020 by Nikki No Comments

Here’s the next outfit in my Work-From-Home Wardrobe Series where I display the cute outfits I’m wearing while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

Joggers are probably THE BEST work-from-home wardrobe piece out there. They’re incredibly comfortable for sitting but can be dressed up for those Zoom video calls. Case in point: these comfy joggers that pair nicely with this pretty Loft blouse. In fact, I think this is my new favorite outfit. Everything about it just works!

Blouse: LOFT via thredUP | Joggers: Old Navy

Since I didn’t really leave my house the day I wore this outfit, I didn’t put on shoes. But if I had, I would have a lot of options to choose from depending on where I was going and what look I was trying to achieve. A pair of flats (black or a nice statement color) or loafers would be cute for a business casual feel while heels would elevate it into an outfit I could wear out for a drink or two (sigh, I sure miss those days!). If I wanted a more casual look, perhaps to run errands, I would grab my cute new white lace-up sneakers.

Also, I’m wearing my dissent collar earrings inspired by RBG–may her memory be for a blessing–that Nick purchased for me last month.

Instagram Outfit Roundup

December 20, 2019 by Nikki No Comments

Welcome back to another outfit round up! This is the first round up I’ve had of outfits I’ve worn since starting my new job. Our dress code is about the same as any other nonprofit/academic institution which is business casual and jeans are fine. I’ve been trying to dress it up and get back into my professional style & mindset. These are a sampling of the outfits I’ve worn in the last few weeks that are trying to be *slightly* more business and less casual.

Loving these outfits.

Obviously bathroom lighting isn’t ideal for outfit photos and the lighting in the restroom at my new office is the worst. It’s really hard to get the color of my clothes in these photos. My navy blue pants, gray skirts, and brown tights all look darker than they actually are but hopefully you get the gist.
