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)

both -

top: thrifted, remade by me
necklace: Target
belt: H&M

For work -

pants: Gap
heels: ellemenno, thrifted
cardigan: Banana republic 

For play - 

zipper jeans: Gap, thrifted
sandals: Payless 

For some reason, I have this terrible habit of buying poorly fitting pants. Chinos, dress pants, trousers (I generally do ok with jeans). Here is yet another example - these brown gap pants are slightly too short, awkwardly straight leg and are being held together by a safety pin because my butt is too big. So instead of getting rid of them, I wore a longer tank and boyfriend cardigan

pants: Gap
top: Old Navy
sweater: F21
flats: Blowfish from Nordstrom
cowl scarf: handmade

no make-up, hair unstyled, sleepy - but heading to venice!

I am an average height I think (5’5”), but proportionately, I’m all legs. My upper body is very short.

I have the hardest time with tank tops, because what might be a normal neckline on anyone else, is incredibly low on me, regularly causing some bra peekage (ugh)

I love this tank I got for my birthday from my MIL, but the first time I wore it I spent all night tugging and adjusting and being paranoid I was showing too much.

For some shirts, I can adjust the shoulder to bring up the height a bit, so I did it this weekend with this top. It remains to be seen whether it will be enough to hold, but I’m in complete denial about wearing petite tops. I can’t do it!
