the perfect work outfit.

i'm packing for my summer in D.C. and have discovered some essentials that i love and don't know what i would do without. i am an extremely OCD & anal person, so while i'm packing, i am taking photos of my favorite work outfits. this summer i am going to do a series on what i wear to work.. and take pictures of my outfits every day. should be fun!


here are some pieces i love and and can't wait to wear this summer.

slim crop pants {gap}
will definitely become one of my favorites. i bought these in charcoal & white.

shimmer cocoon shrug {gap}
pair this with a white long sleeve shirt and a funky necklace, put with those cropped pants and BINGO ~ outfit.

sunshine sleeveless tuck detail dress {top shop}
fabulous zipper detail in the back, and seamless classic statement in the front.
pair with beautiful flats and an open shrug cardigan for a work-look.

sage cornelli embroidered sheer top {top shop}
i love all things textured and understated, so this works perfect for me.
i will be pairing this with my cropped charcoal pants from gap and nude patent leather flats from steve madden.

tuxedo shirt {j.crew}
this can be paired with literally anything. i love love love.

planning for the perfect work outfit.

i went on a bit of a shopping spree today :/ but don't worry dad, mom said it was okay and i really didn't spend much money at all. i used my skills to hone in on the deals and steals and found the websites that were offering free shipping and discounts.


what was i shopping for you ask? work clothes. i can't wait to start my internship, as you all know, so why not look for work clothes now? below are a few of my finds that i'm so excited to come in the mail in 5-7 business days.

more than interiors...

this whole semester i have been doing SO good at restraining my shopping addiction - for all things - clothing, accessories & home goods. i don't need it. but today i went to that one site i should be forbidden to go to: jcrew. i have a whole list of items i want & need, and i am trying to rationalize with myself on whether i want them, or whether i need them. most i need. because after all, a good interior designer must dress herself before she can dress a home.
