thursday (honesty)


mossimo sweater & merona belt {both thrifted target stock}   ·   j crew skirt {ebay}  
express button-down {thrifted}   ·   merona marylynn mary janes 

in all honesty, this is what i have been thinking about a lot at work this week...
  • accents / sometimes i find that i start to talk with a southern accent if i am trying to clearly & slowly explain something to one of my clients so that they can better hear (ie: understand) what i am saying.  in all honesty, i tried to ensure this wouldn't happen the 20+ years i lived in the south and now it creeps out when i am living in the north.

  • chocolate shakes / there were two days in one week when i ordered chocolate shakes from the bistro in my building from the same culinary worker, a guy several years younger than me.  i've put myself on a self-imposed break from shakes so he doesn't think i am too gluttonous but in all honesty, sometimes i creep upstairs just to see if he isn't working so i can order a shake from another one of the workers.

  • pop music / sometimes i close my office door in the afternoons so i can have a dance break to top 40 music.  how great is justin beiber's "as long as you love me"?  nicki minaj's "super bass" is another one that i jump out of my chair for.  in all honestly, i think only one person i work with knows that i like to do this {and i think he thinks i was joking...} so i am pretty sure i'm in the clear.  i take my mid-afternoon dance breaks pretty seriously.
it's clear that my brain can only hold so much social work.  what's on your mind this week?

monday.


express oxford {thrifted}   isaac mizrahi for target skirt {thrifted}
merona mari pumps {thrifted target stock}

as i put this outfit on this morning i realized that i certainly don't shy away from wearing very similar versins of the same outfit.  i figure it's unlikely that people who i encounter on a daily basis have that much awareness of what i wear to know that i wore this same skirt and a very similar belt two weeks ago.  i'm not sure if any of my readers would pick up on that either, especially if you follow as many blogs as i do!  it kind of makes me go, "huh..." when i read that bloggers don't like to post similar or repeat outfits.  i'm not sure why we would ever need to put that pressure on ourselves.  for me, this blog is a representation of the outfits that i feel great in and a realistic portrayal of my professional wardrobe, so it's natural that staple pieces like this navy skirt are going to get worn 1-2 times a month.  you'll probably see it again in a few weeks!
 
do you leave outfits unblogged if you feel you are wearing an item too soon after having just worn it?  did anyone remember that i wore this same skirt and a tan colored belt last week, and if so - do you care?  :)  now i'm kind of curious!
