Architecture of an Outfit: Tie Neck Button Down, Bows, Shorts and Leopard Wedges

Aloha, Lovecat,

I know you miss me. I miss you, too. I do!!

{ Architecture of an Outfit / Outfit of the Day: Bows, Leopard Heels and Shorts… Office Sexy Outfits }

Let’s get back to the good stuff: A style post. Esp, since I have nothing to say right now. I’m super tired, and I have a long day tomorrow of yet more training. Three-four more months of training during the busiest time of the year. Eeps.

This outfit is not entirely work-appropriate, unless you work at a start up or an extremely creative environment or industry. And, while my office is pretty casual for business casual, and most of the girls here are pretty on the up and up on fashion, these “dressy shorts” still wouldn’t fly at my new office–not even on Casual Day. Oh well. I loved what I had when I had it when I worked for ETSIS – Escaping The Sun In Style–casual fashion everyday.

One thought on “Architecture of an Outfit: Tie Neck Button Down, Bows, Shorts and Leopard Wedges

  1. I would love to work at a place where shorts were acceptable – besides a surf shop (because I’ve worked there before). But even though you can’t wear it in your office, it’s still a gorgeous outfit and definitely blog worthy!

    Btw, I love how you’ve had the pieces of this outfit for years. I’m a self-proclaimed fashion hoarder so I almost never throw or give things away because I know that it can always be restyled and updated. And your outfit is proof of that!

Let's get talkin'.
