    LIFE LATELY – SEPTEMBER

    LIFE LATELY – SEPTEMBER

    It’s here! The second of my monthly Life Lately series where I’ll share what’s been top of mind in the realms of Style, Music, Books, Beauty, Atlanta, Travel and anything else inspiring to me this September. In my recent reader survey (Thank you to those who took it! Lip gloss winner to be announced soon!), people asked for more personal posts about what’s going on in my life. This Life Lately series is a good starting point for that, so read on for this month’s thoughts!

    CASUAL WORKPLACE – LOOK CLASSY & POLISHED WITHOUT FAIL

    CASUAL WORKPLACE – LOOK CLASSY & POLISHED WITHOUT FAIL

    One of my readers recently gave me some very important feedback – that she works in a casual environment and that, while my professional wardrobe posts are somewhat interesting, they don’t apply to her. This was really good to hear because I LOVE talking about how to protect and promote your image in the workplace – I don’t want to stop doing that. But I do want to do it in a way that helps more of my readers than just those who work in the corporate world like me. We’re not all the same, and less and less workplaces are requiring uber-business attire. I hear you – so let’s talk about what to wear to look classy yet casual at work.

    YOU CAN WEAR A MAXI-DRESS AFTER SUMMER

    YOU CAN WEAR A MAXI-DRESS AFTER SUMMER

    Yep. I am promoting a maxi-dress. I can’t even believe it because I’ve been so anti ever since this trend came on the seen years ago (I guess it’s not a trend anymore then?). But I have since come to love the femininity and instant-outfit that long dresses can create for us ladies looking for any and everything simple. All you’ve gotta do is give it that extra little oomph to take it to the next level with the right shoes and accessories. Read on for my tips on pulling it off the RIGHT way this fall. That’s right, it’s not just a summer trend!

    TV’S BEST PROFESSIONAL WARDROBES

    TV’S BEST PROFESSIONAL WARDROBES

    I often look to my favorite TV characters for wardrobe inspiration. Sex and the City was eye candy I just couldn’t get enough of. And while SATC was certainly a trailblazer in terms of making the clothes a character unto themselves, they weren’t exactly realistic options for us plebes. Since then, there have been so may nstrong female TV characters that KILL it in the professional wardrobe department, and I look to them for inspiration when I get dressed for the office. Let’s have a little fun today while I share my go-to TV icons with the most amazing professional wardrobes out there!

    KEEP IT SIMPLE: WEAR A UNIFORM

    KEEP IT SIMPLE: WEAR A UNIFORM

    I cannot believe that I of all people am standing before you, encouraging you to wear a uniform this season. But hey, people change! And I am all about ease these days because I am focused on my tiny sweet little family and building a new life in Atlanta. While I strongly believe in looking your best as much as possible, my priorities are aligned elsewhere at this time and I bet yours are too. As we get older, different things start to matter more than others. So what am I getting at? Well, I’ve been trying something new – wearing the same thing whenever I head out for a day of errands around town or whenever I work from home. Don’t get me wrong, the look I’ve chosen is fabulous, feminine and put together, but it’s also easy to clean, easy to wear and easy to pull off the hanger every. single. time.
