Tuesday Fashion: Is that really business casual?

I'm not sure that the things I wear to work on a regular basis are legit appropriate. I always look put together and neat, but somedays I look more like I'm going on a picnic than to my office.

But business casual can mean a lot of different things. Some people think that as long as its not jeans, its cool. Others aren't great with white tees instead of button ups. In our office, business casual ranges from tops and slacks with sandals to business suits...and every wierd thing in between.

Here's what I'm wearing....roughly.



I'm not actually wearing this skirt. Mine looks like it, so we're good to go. Plus mine came off of the clearance rack at Target, so win-win.



Again, we're ballparking this.



My shoes are far less fabulous, but they belong to this family.

and



My locket pulls the whole thing together, I've gotta say. It came from Forever 21 (like all good, cheap acessories do) and you can get it ova here

Except mine has no fru fru pearls or diamonds. But this one is still totes acceptable.

At the end of the day, I feel I am preserving my style and youth, while still looking...um....acceptable for the office.

ok, i might have...

just printed this to take to my hair cut guy tommorow as my style inspiration



After all, she is the only celebrity in my heart...with my hair texture.

Ahoy there, y'all.

I've decided on the dress I want to wear for the fourth of july. I'm extending the invitation for you to visit it on Forever 21's website and to buy it for me here!

**edit: oh hey forever 21, thanks for selling out of my dress. gosh. i'll just have to settle for this one, though it is non-sailor themed: thiiiisssss one

I mean, I could also go for this one



or, say, this one




or even this one... (but it doesn't match my sailor theme)





But chances are, I'll be doning something more like this



I'm serious. I'd look great lounging by the lake.

Or maybe this




but only if I can turn into this real quick first



Girl looks good, I'm saying.

I'll keep working on that.

I know, right!?

Meet my desk chair.

Y'all, I know this is supposed to shape up into a fancy fashion blog with pictures of cute and unattainable clothing, but I'm blogging from work. I'm not thinking about clothes, I'm thinking about how much this chair sucks.

Sure, it looks nice enough. But in reality, it is hell. It hurts your back, makes sitting with your legs underneath you nearly impossible, and it hooks onto every strap or clasp on every shoe I own, trapping one leg underneath me and refusing to let go. I hate you, desk chair. I hate you as I sit and write this.

What if there were an alternative? What if the world had desk chairs that were at least pretty?

I give you, the adorable desk chairs:









How do they do it? Oh honey, I do not know. But I'm saying, SC State Government, y'all think about these next time we restock.

Peep Toe What?

You know what, I own a pair of shoes similar to these. In fact, I am wearing them now. Good things I can say about them include the following: they are low, so not hard to walk in and they are denim, so they generally match/ don't horribly clash with things.
Bad things I can say about them: they have some seriously slippery soles, and they are denim...pro AND con, I know. But denim shoes can be dicey, so I usually wear them only with very un-denim things.

Example:

With this



and this








By the way, mine were cheap and you can get some if you are interested,right cheeer

I'm just saying...

If you use this, your hair will smell like the outside candy part of a tootsie pop. But, you know, not in a pleasant way.

It did, however, make my hair all soft, if not extremely smooth. If you have wavy hair whose mass could stop a mack truck, something from the bi-lo is not going to get rid of the frizzes.
Maybe if you have super straight hair...?
