Ensemble message: Despite experiencing ridiculous amounts of frozen precipitation this winter, I wanted to make an extra effort to wear skirts and dresses to work this this week. I was comfy on Monday but wanted to step it up a bit without getting too dressy. Wearing a dress with boots once again was the compromise between style and weather!
I found this dress on the Anthropologie sale rack in December and had to have it. The colors are all my favorites... I'm more of an autumn gal I suppose. And the print is perfectly whimsical without looking too young. How about you? Have you changed your style with all the snow and ice this week??

Ensemble message: I wore this outfit a couple weeks ago but never got to post it. I believe it was still fairly warm out (compared to the 20's now in the morning), and I remember really, really loving this outfit! If we get an odd day with highs in the 40's I will probably wear it again.
That day, I had a ton of meetings to go to. The actual clothing items were professional (skirt, blouse, cardi) but the colors were so much fun. My sister gave me this blouse for Christmas a couple years ago, and I found it difficult to wear with my wardrobe at the time. But I saw the potential and held onto it... and thank goodness too, because now I love it! I also wore it here and look forward to re-mixing it again.

Ensemble message: Today I had to drive to Connecticut
Why would I make this decision? Well, I knew that the audience was made up of all managers and above… no one at my level. Also, besides the co-op helping me out, I knew that I would be one of the youngest in the room (plus I look younger than I am). Maybe I’m a little too aware of titles and age, but dressing up just a bit made me feel professional and comfortable. Notice that I went for a more laid back dress vs. a blazer and pencil skirt… while I wanted to look nice, I didn’t want to come off as uptight. Also, since I was facilitating, I choose a knit dress and small heels for easy movement.
When attending off-site meetings or conferences, what do you wear??
