Happy Memorial Day!  We are still raining and flooding in areas down here (not near me thankfully!), so our three day weekend has been mostly spent inside catching up on TV and house chores, online sale shopping, and cuddling with my puppy.   If you are stuck inside like me, there are still some awesome sales going on at Nordstrom, Baublebar, and Elanie Turner this weekend just to name a few.  All three are also in this post so you can score discounts on some of the items.  My favorite weekend purchase so far are these earrings from Baublebar!  They remind me of fireworks and I will be stalking my package tracking until they arrive!

I may be spending the day in my pajamas, but I’m sharing a little office style on the blog today!  I LOVE this midi skirt!!!  I found it during the triple points event at Nordstrom earlier this month. It is super light and airy, perfect for our hot and humid weather.  My sister was able to catch how beautifully it moves in the breeze.   I immediately knew I wanted to pair this skirt with a blue top.  Pleione is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands at Nordstrom.   I own about four tops from them, and they are all extremely comfortable.  This split neck blouse is perfect to pair with skirts, but it also pairs really well with jeans and shorts too.  Office and weekend looks meant I had to have this top!  It also comes in a few other colors too.

I am also wearing my latest jewelry from my Rocksbox subscription.  I had this necklace on my wishlist, and was very happy to see it arrive in my box.  I had seen a similar necklace on a friend, and could not stop thinking about how fabulous the necklace was and how may ways I could wear it.  The necklace is a bunch of small bars, so the movement of the necklace is pretty cool.  I also received this Vanessa Mooney bracelet which is perfect for my small wrists. I am pleased to see that they are taking all my feedback into consideration when sending each box.  I had mentioned how big the bangles were with my second box, and here on my fourth they are still taking it into consideration.  I have listed the full item names above, so if you are a Rocksbox subscriber you can search for them and add to your wishlist if want to play with these too.  I am almost done with my big review of my first few months with the Rocksbox service, so look for that to be on the blog TOMORROW!!  Thanks for stopping by!!!

I wore a lot of color on the blog this week, so I figured today I would go back to my old favorite – all black!  I love the lace detailing on this top and how the entire shoulder is exposed under the black lace.  Dark colors like black are not seen too much in spring.  The lace and exposed skin is a great way to wear a dark color in spring without it being too heavy.  This top is from last year, but I linked two similar tops from Ella Moss.  I love pairing gold jewelry with an all-black look.  It has a sophisticated feel to it, and the gold both stands out from and compliments the black.  Because of the lace detailing around the neckline, I chose to wear my Mika necklace.  I did not want a necklace that would lie on top of the lace, because sometimes those can snag the lace.  The Mika necklace was the perfect length to sit just above the neckline of the shirt.  Since I kept my necklace simple, I definitely wanted a slightly bold earring.  I love these Gorjana earrings I received in my latest Rocksbox.  They have kind of a dual use to them. They double as a statement piece as styled here by showcasing them against a dark palate, but they are also delicate enough to allow the top to have a little bit of the statement too.  Happy Friday Ya’ll!!  I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and thanks so much for stopping by my blog this week!

I have a confession; I really dislike having to tuck my shirt in!  Sometimes just because it’s annoying and sometimes out of pure laziness.  While this often causes me to lean towards buying tops that do not need to be tucked in, sometimes you come across a gorgeous top like this bow top one or even just your regular button down cotton work shirts.  I am constantly trying to think of ways to wear these work tops untucked without looking unprofessional.  It is my deconstructed office style.  I think skinny work pants go a long way to helping this look not come off as frumpy.  When I am wearing my regular work pants with a slight flare to the bottom and an untucked shirt, the look has no shape.  If I wear this top with my other work pants or a skirt, I feel it needs to be tucked in to help define the waist.  Otherwise the overall look just feels not complete.  With my skinny pants though, it just feels like a more laid back office look.  I think the tapered skinny leg really helps to show off a little bit of your body shape, so you do not need the defined waist.  It is a great pant that helps you be a little lazy without looking it.

Size note on my Loft skinny pants, they definitely stretch with wear!  I think my next pair I am going to buy a little tighter than they should be so they do not look so baggy by the end of the day!

I cannot believe I waited so long to buy a chambray shirt!  I am constantly coming up with new ways to wear it.  When I recieved my latest Rocksbox, I immediately knew the edgy look of this necklace would balance perfectly with the casual look of the chambray shirt.  I originally thought about pairing the two with a pair of black skinny jeans and some sky high pumps, but thought it would be fun to find a way to wear this outfit to work.  When I looked to the skirts section of my closet, my black textured skirt quickly caught my eye as the perfect fit to complete my edgy but casual office outfit.  I have paired this chambray with my colorful work skirts, but for some reason partnering it with this black skirt felt like I was living on the edge and breaking the professional attire rules.  Ha!  This skirt’s textured detailing and black color always gives more of a professional suit feel to me.  I felt like the combination of the laid back chambray shirt and black suit skirt was living up to the vibe of the  necklace.   It has spikes for a little edge, but also black and diamond-like stones for a little sophistication.  These three pieces together were definitely a perfect match!
