Work to Play


Hey guys! Look what I did for you today! A little before and after work photos alllll foforororrr yoouuuuuu.

So I work in an office during the week, but it's part time and I get off at 2 (or earlier). So I usually like to change into something a little more summery. For work not only do you have to dress modestly, you've got to dress "for business" aka no T shirts, but I really dig casual summer style, and I don't always want to pull out a whole new outfit when I get home. So here's how I changed this outfit into a less worky one!


For work I wore a peplum top over a pleated skirt. Together they look like a dress. I also kept the accessories pretty minimal.


And when I got home, I threw on a knotted T shirt! Popped on some sunglasses, and really it was like instant summer. My shoes transitioned pretty well, and obviously I'm never taking these tights off until I die.



I saw these tights on Erica's blog and calmly decided that there wasn't an option; they needed to be in my life. I'm incredibly excited about them, and I've already had one person ask me if they were tights or if I painted my legs. I seriously get this all the time with floral tights that have skin tone colors, it's the weirdest thing.


I made some BFF bracelets for me and Travis (he gets home from Italy the 16th!!!!) and I'm wearing both of them until he gets back.

peplum and skirt: American Eagle
unicorn shirt: designed by me!
shoes: target, DIY
tights: unique vintage
sunglasses: forever 21



This weekend I hung out with my friends Bryson and Laura. We went to the museum, the river, and shopping (or they patiently waited while I tried on clothes). It really was a ton of fun, I've got some pictures I'll share next Sunday on my weekly lifestyle post.
