I know I’m not the only one to change out of their work clothes immediately after returning home (and dutifully taking my outfit pictures, of course). However, if I have somewhere else to go that night and can’t change straight into pj’s, I usually try to incorporate my office wear into something more casual and comfy for work. I like to think it makes me creative, but really it is a way to limit my laundry load. (This shirt first seen here)

top: thrifted, remade by me

For play -

I have relatively normal length legs (and a short torso), but for some reason looking at these photos, I’m think the pants (or the heels?) make my legs look stumpy. I always thought nude heels and cropped pants are supposed to make you look 10 feet tall. (they kind of did here: http://lattestyle.tumblr.com/post/7506369243/feeling-european)

have i been deceiving myself?

top: Kohls
sweater: J.Crew
pants: thrifted, Gap
shoes: Target
scarf: thrifted 

Technically my work doesn’t have a casual Friday.

Unofficially we have casual Fridays in the summer when school is out and there aren’t many people around the office, but the school year is back in full swing.

So it was a little risky to wear tight skinny jeans. I felt like a little kid sneaking a cookie walking into the office Friday morning.

*blink, blink* Hello? Anyone there? Aren’t you going to give me a funny look? Lecture me in my office about appropriate work attire?

By the end of the day, when no one had said anything I was sort of disappointed I didn’t get caught. Rule-breaking is only fun if people notice. Oh well

This was still the perfect thing to wear to work all day, and the out for burgers and a movie (Drive. Ryan Gosling, be still my heart) Maybe I’ll start taking risks more often.

With my new ‘do, these sexy [italian leather] heels, cropped pants and bright lips, I was feeling like a real Italian last week.

It is weird to post photos of feet? Sorry about that, I will never do it again.

As if that is not enough punishment, here is a photo of my derriere
