Do: Dress Up For Work

One should always always put her best foot forward in the workplace. Just because it's okay to wear jeans and flip flops to your office doesn't mean you actually should. Take pride in yourself and in your work and put some effort into your look. No one will take a hoodie wearing, flip flop sporting woman seriously, and you're less likely to move up the work ladder. Uch, hoodies. *shudder*

There's no better time to update your work wardrobe than now. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fall for one reason: fall work clothes. Seriously, this is my favoritest season for work attire. The herringbones, the tweeds. The wines, grays, and pumpkins. The jackets, the pumps, the perfect cardigan weather. It all makes me so happy. *swoon*

I've culled the interwebs for some fun fall work pieces for you. Check them out below. If I worked, I'd be all over a few of these. Oh how I love fall.

Got My Eye on Eyelet

There's something about the summer that makes me want to wear a white eyelet dress. That is, when it's not making me want to dress like a sailor.

There's something about eyelet that calls to me - the daintiness, the femininity, the airiness. When the heat comes calling, I want some eyelet.

Once upon a time I had a lovely white eyelet dress that I wore all darn summer long. I wore it here, I wore it there, I wore it everywhere. And then, sadness of sadnesses, it snagged on something and ripped wide open. It was devestating. So I find myself this summer with no eyelet in my life. Okay, not no eyelet, but no white eyelet dress, and it breaks my heart. And while I was searching for a replacement, I thought I'd give you all the eyelet options that caught my eye.
