Working From Home Style, Week 5

Wait, hasn't it been 6 weeks since I started doing this work from home outfit series?

Yeah, well, I considered last week a wash, since we didn't get back into town until mid-day Wednesday morning from our anniversary trip to the mountains, so I took the week off. Half of it was spent in tank tops and shorts on our vacation, so it wouldn't have made for a very interesting week anyway!

So I'm considering this week 5, since it's the 5th week I'll be posting about I'm wearing to work (from home, obviously)!

Monday:

Do you ever have days where you really feel like wearing a certain pair of shoes, so you plan your whole outfit around them? That's what happened this day, I felt like wearing these white and purple cork heels, so I threw together a white and purple outfit to match.

Tank top: H&M, Skirt: Old Navy, Jewelry: Target and NY&CO, Pearl Hair Flowers: esty (that I wore on my wedding day)

 

White and Purple Cork Heels: Not Rated 

Tuesday:

Top: Gap, Ruffle Skirt: No idea, I've had it at least 8-9 years, Necklace and Earrings: JCPenny's, Headband: Target

Black Heels: Paprika 

Thursday:

OMG, pants! Yep, this is the first time I've worn pants in forever. What can I say, I love wearing skirts, even year round. But now that it's officially summer, I felt like breaking out these white slacks for a bit of a change.

Top: Bass, White Pants: Victoria's Secret (Christie Fit), Necklace and Earrings: Target

Blue and White Heels: Nine West (and yes, they are the same as the coral and white heels I wore in Week 3. If I find a pair of shoes I really like, sometimes I'll buy them in a couple of colors!) 

Friday:

Yay for Fridays, which instead of "casual Friday," I've decided is my "dress up Friday," since we've been going out to dinner every week to try new restaurants around the area.

I really love the bright colors of this dress (although I forgot to adjust my white balance in these photos, sorry!). However, it is a little, uh, boobalicious. Which I would have totally rocked in college, but now that I'm in my {very} late 20's, not so much. So even in 90+ degree heat, I took a cardigan with me to dinner to cover up if I started to feel uncomfortable. But that's a great thing about this dress, I can wear it with a short sleeve sweater or cardi over it, and still show off the bold fabric that I love so much (variations shown in the second photos below).

Sundress: Victoria's Secret, Necklace and Earrings: Forever 21

Short Sleeve Sweater: Victoria's Secret, Cardigan: Bass (Note that these don't count in my goal to go as long as possible not repeating a clothing item, since these pics are just for demonstration purposes as to other options for wearing this low cut dress)

Patent Heels with Floral Cut-Outs: Michael Antonio

And finally, for your viewing pleasure, my favorite outtake from this week's photos. I think I was fixing my hair....

Do you ever feel the need to find creative ways to cover up too revealing of outfits as you get older?
