Ensemble message: I like to read style blogs that focus on professional style, but I also read many that have a more casual vibe.  Off of Broadway is one of those - Amanda has a great sense of style and wears mostly thrifted items.  Which makes sense, since she runs her own thrift store :)  As soon as she posted this outfit, I knew I could remake it from my own closet.  Amanda lives in a warmer climate, so she can get away with wearing the lightweight jacket on mild winter days, but I used my jacket as another inside layer.  This is perhaps a little more casual than a normal Friday at the office, but some weeks call for slouchy layers and flats.  Thanks for the inspiration, Amanda!

For more of my style inspirations, check out my Pinterest account - you'll find Amanda's original photo here as well!

Ensemble message: Why hello there!  I'm back, and on one of the hottest days of the year.  A day where all you want to wear is a t-shirt.  So, that's what I did!  Some may say t-shirts are too casual for the office, but I think with the right bottom and accessories you can definitely wear a t-shirt to work.

I'm laughing at The Hubby here, who just stuck his head out the door and said "sexy time" in his best Borat voice ;)

Would you ever wear a t-shirt on the job??
