Lately things have been a little more lenient in the office in regards to our attire. I do know to take off any jewelry and make any other adjustements before leaving, but I've felt a little more freedom recently.Hence this outfit that breaks all sorts of rules. The skirt is leopard print (we're not supposed to have prints of any kind, least of all animal print), the blouse is sleeveless (hey, at least it's a solid color, right?), it's a little more low-cut than I usually wear, and lastly the sandals (we're not supposed to wear open-toe shoes of any kind).
However...I do keep closed-toe flats and sling-backs under my desk in case of an impromptu visit, errand, or meeting, and I brought a blazer with me. And I didn't wear jewelry. I don't want to break every rule all at once...
By the way, my mom told me that Wednesday morning, my daughter went right into school with no problems. HOORAY for the watch!!! Seriously, I think that idea deserves some kind of reward. Anything that makes my baby girl happy and less afraid deserves something.
Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!
I'm excited. It's a long weekend.
Yes.
Today's outfit:
Skirt: Stein Mart
Blouse: Target
Blazer: Stein Mart
Belt: Can't remember
Sandals: Beall's
This reminds me I NEED a leopard skirt...you look adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a rebel ;) who looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis skirt looks amazing on you! I'm always trying to figure out what kind of work you do to have such a crazy dress code?
ReplyDeleteWow, this skirt looks fierce on you and you can do so much with it!! I look forward to seeing it with a professional fitted jacket!!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic, you rebel! You amaze me and Kayla everyday with each outfit!
ReplyDeleteHeather
MEOW! You're rocking that print so hard, ma'am. Love the rebel look. It suits you. And good the school year is getting off to a good start for your little one.
ReplyDeletegreat outfit, slap a jacket or cardi on and really, what can your boss say???
ReplyDeleteI have to get me one of those skirts
Anonymous - I actually did bring a blazer with me because I was thinking that same thing! :) And I truly believe everyone needs a leopard print skirt. Especially one with pockets. Perfection! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome skirt. I definitely want one. I will put that on the list after we start spending money again on shopping (only three more weeks!!!).I already told Jennifer I have a litany of things that I have been scoping out. Like those navy and red shoes!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you look great, but I am glad that you have things at work with you to cover up how out of dress code you actually are. :) Hopefully, though, you won't need it.
Great outfit. My week is going good. I just have a house full of boxes that I need to unpack.

You look great in this outfit. I wish you could just send pics to the man in charge and show him how silly his rules are. I think the neckline is really flattering on you. It opens up focus on your pretty face.
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing in that outfit you rule breaker!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, love how you are breaking most(but not all!) of the rules! You look amazing in this outfit, I love the leopard paired with the bright pink!

Rebel! Any reason for the leniency?
ReplyDeletelove leopard print and your combination! you look gorgeous!!!! xooooooooooo Stella
ReplyDeleteI definitely need some leopard print for autumn. I am glad the dress code is little more relaxed at work, allows you to be yourself!
ReplyDeleteI love the skirt! Way to rebel! I'm glad the watch helped your daughter out.
ReplyDeleteWoo! Breaking all the rules. Love that skirt. You're one hot mama! I'm so glad the watch thing helps. Wishing your little one best of luck when she starts big girl school.
ReplyDeleteYour leopard print skirt looks great with your purple top! Happy to hear your dress code has relaxed a bit.
ReplyDeleteI think you look stunning but yet very professional! I imagine that a blazer would totally give this outfit the toning down you would need should a meeting or something come up. That skirt looks fabulous on you too :)
ReplyDeletei love how this top looks with leopard - really pretty combo <3

Great mix and match! This outfit is so chic and perfect from day to night!
ReplyDeleteoh animal print. and i just learned based on my research this week that animal prints are a current trend. nice. or maybe you are one of the reasons it is a current trend.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to steer clear of the typical MEOW comment, but MEEEEOWWW! You're sexy and sweet.
ReplyDeletei've never shopped at Stein Mart but I may hve to find out where one is near me. i'm loving the animal print skirt!!! i almost bought a pleated one this weekend at the fashion district in downtown!!!

I want the skirt, and I love the color of your blouse with the top, fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is cute! But wait, you can't wear ANY jewelry???
ReplyDeleteMy, my, my! You were being a rebel...you...you...rebel without the paws! (Get it?)
ReplyDeleteI've never thought about pairing an animal print with purple....but I like it a lot!
Hey there, little rule breaker. You look great and I adore leopard print so... yeah. How come the dress restrictions are suddenly more lax?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color combo! I love me some animal print.
ReplyDeleteRule breaking diva! Looks like perfection. You make me think that I need some animal print...
ReplyDeleteSarah - I'm not sure why my boss has been more lenient on the dress code. Maybe someone said something to her about relaxing a little, or maybe she's just had other things on her mind. At any rate, we're all a little nervous that she's going to flip out one day because it's been so long, but hopefully not. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear that your dress code is loosening up, I feel like it's getting stricter where I work. Maybe it's the season change...
