The obvious is the blazer and girlfriend jeans combo that is on the verge of uniform territory. But wait! I almost always like to mix in something "new" (Bottega Veneta lookalike clutch) with the "old". Lastly, I wouldn't be me if I didn't look slightly disheveled. Today's perfectly imperfect touch is the messily wrapped scarf sorta tucked into the blazer. It was a bit chilly in the morning, so for once practicality won out.<br />

Up first is a menswear-inspired outfit composed of pretty much every tomboy-ish item from my closet. Long (and aptly named) boyfriend blazer? Check. Loafers in a men's silk tie print? Definitely. A suede bag in colors and a plaid pattern that, in my opinion, tied the whole outfit together.<br />

I've been completely immersed in the <a href="https://twitter.com/Nationals" target="_blank">Nats' post-season run</a> the last few weeks. Staying up late to catch games in their entirety <i>plus</i> all the post-game shenanigans has me walking around like a zombie at work and guzzling coffee like it's my only source of nutrient. You know what though? It's all been so worth it. 2019 has the makings of the greatest sporting year of my life, first with my beloved Hoos winning their first ever NCAA basketball championship... and now, the Nats 2 games away from their first ever World Series? Pinch me, I must be dreaming. #FINISHTHEFIGHT<br />

As the seasons change, so do the accessories. I probably went a bit overboard piling on all the cognac colors from my closet, but really, who can resist this warm brown color? It's gorgeous and such a great transition color for fall. Not to mention, it pairs wonderfully with navy and white. So, bring on all the cognac!<br />

Multiple times. Sweating just a tad in the early stages of fall while sipping a pumpkin spice latte is like a rite of passage. Nope, not this year. I waited until I absolutely had to without jeopardizing my health. True to form though, once I'm in, I'm <i>in</i>. There's no such thing as going overboard with all the fall accessories -- scarf, suede (love this bag, btw! drapes so well), and of course bare legs while I'm bundled up like an eskimo on the top half. Welcome to fall and happy layering, everyone!<br />

Until today! <span style="font-size: x-small;">Boyfriend jeans don't count because they're meant to be baggy.</span> In the past, I always got the length hemmed or simply folded any excess fabric over/under to shorten the hem. Most of the time, the fit is fine around the waist and hips. The minute I tried on <a href="https://rstyle.me/+jxI3s3wL5SPQJMM-6JC_DQ" target="_blank">these J.Crew jeans</a>, I finally understood why women rush out to stock up once they've found their holy grail of jeans. Nothing makes you feel more confident than a pair of perfectly-fitting jeans. This was also the first time I tried high-waisted jeans, and... I'm smacking myself for dismissing them in favor of low-waisted jeans for <i>years</i>. But, better late than never, right?<br />

The striped top and cap-toe shoes are bold and bright. Upon closer inspection, what I really love are the pom poms and twilly scarf. The pom poms came with the top, so it's not like I spent painstaking time sewing each one on. But the twilly scarf tied around the purse handle? Definitely an amateur job as I started over like five times... and parts still ended up lumpy. I really love how a patterned scarf easily tones down the formal-ness of the purse. Practice makes perfect, and I will be trying this look on other purses!<br />

Don't say I didn't warn you.<br />
<br />
I have a handful of favorite brands that I constantly browse for new releases and styling ideas. I'd say I'm an equal opportunist shopper. Sure I go through phases where I'll buy from one more than the others, but never for a prolonged period of time. This year was a game changer for me. Ever since the Fall/Winter 2019 shows back in February earlier this year, Tory Burch has been <i>it</i> for me. I completely fell for the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+qIcj3R7eZvrhFxu3pIeq1w" target="_blank">Lee Radziwill soft deconstructed bag</a> on the <a href="https://www.toryburch.com/blog-post/blog-post.html?bpid=487584" target="_blank">runway</a> (see how it slouches so beautifully?) and have been chomping at the bits for its release. Now that different colorways are slowly trickling out, I'm having a hard time picking just one. I am leaning more towards a suede version because the slouchy look should be easier to achieve than a leather version. Then there is the dilemma of plaid pattern or solid colors? Decisions, decisions.<br />
<br />
The last couple months saw me make <a href="http://tobrightenmyday.blogspot.com/search/label/tory%20burch" target="_blank">multiple purchases</a> from their Spring/Summer collection -- shoes (like the ones in today's outfit), watches (yes, plural), and peasant top. I feel like I've been wearing at least one Tory Burch item every single day for the past few weeks, without stoppage any time soon.<br />
<br />
The Lee Radziwill bag may be at the top of my wishlist, but there are several others that I'm holding out for to go on sale in the near future: <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Lj2mEHoZhzQpEideVjg9aA" target="_blank">yellow bucket bag</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+6uRuD7Xm6Pv3C9hO6YCAcQ" target="_blank">colorblock ponte dress</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+me-FcrnnRW4FT4gTT1POLw" target="_blank">wool scarf</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+stXOOQY6WYTySqSJq3NsAw" target="_blank">another pair of Penelope shoes</a>. Oh who am I kidding. Just take all my money now, Tory Burch.<br />

The brooch can be mistaken for an airline pin. The knotted cardigan sweater taking the place of a neck scarf. The dark pencil skirt certainly is uniform-like. I suppose all I'm missing is a dark blazer? It's funny how inspiration can be drawn from anywhere... and if I'm smart, I will heed the universe telling me to stop working so damn much and please take a relaxing vacation, preferably by plane to a destination far away.<br />

I took a mini hiatus to spend time with family, but am now back on the wagon with blogging. Hopefully I can keep it up without too many work distractions ;)<br />
<br />
Today's outfit is from... oh gosh, perhaps early August?! I'd describe it as <i>a little business mixed with a whole lotta casual</i>. I see women all.the.time pulling off chic looks with white sneakers (and not just for commuting purposes either). I think choosing the right type of sneakers is essential -- too clunky and they just end up looking like clown shoes; too worn and they ruin the whole look. <a href="https://rstyle.me/+X_FY3ISGSUK6rkk6eiPKXw" target="_blank">The pair I'm wearing</a> skews more towards the clunky side. I have fairly small feet for my height and they do not look dainty in these shoes at all (especially standing still). The crisp white leather is perfection though. And the touch of blue stripes at the heel? Love.<br />

Boy, was I wrong. I literally discovered <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/tea/iced-london-fog-tea-latte?foodZone=9999" target="_blank">Starbucks' London Fog Tea Latte</a> yesterday, so decided the trek to Farbucks today (what everyone at my work calls the "far" Starbucks, ~0.5 miles away) was worth it in this sweltering humidity all for an iced cold, delicious drink that reminds me a bit of milk tea. What I didn't count on was how much of a sweaty mess my "purely decorative" scarf made me (and especially my neck). Once I made it back to my building, I'm sure I looked like a lunatic experiencing AC for the first time in my life.<br />

(See previous outfits <a href="http://tobrightenmyday.blogspot.com/2019/06/wear-to-work-summer-whites.html" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://tobrightenmyday.blogspot.com/2019/07/summer-work-style-in-linen-sheath-dress.html" target="_blank">here</a>). I gotta say, the designers were onto something. The fabric belt is the right width and has enough give that the bottom of the dress flared out nicely. I felt quite ladylike. There's nothing wrong with experimentation, but my track record is certainly one of an amateur. Never doubt the professionals.<br />

I'm a tomboy at heart, and as I've matured over the years, I've found that adding adult touches (aka heels) is an easy way to straddle that middle ground between am-I-supposed-to-take-you-seriously and lighten-up-will-you extremes. It does help that I've found my new favorite pair of heels! A little glam but yet neutral (loving cognac so much lately) while being super comfortable.<br />

In contrast, today's is the complete antithesis. Everything from head to toe was an experiment that... I'm not sure I'll be repeating. I wanted to try my hand at the trendy "fancy" jogger pants (the crepe-y fabric with elastic at the ankles). <a href="https://rstyle.me/+24V_DNwbED4mavckV18UOg" target="_blank">Most of the ones I've seen</a> look best in dark colors (ie: olive, black), so I thought it was a genius idea to take ankle pants that I already own then fold up the hem for a bunched-up look. Did it work? Not if you look closely, but from far away, it may pass muster. While I think the resulting look is fun, I kinda felt like I was trying too hard.<br />

There were just so many opportunities to mix and match to create completely different outfits (small details matter!), that it actually took me awhile to settle on this one. Now did I achieve the look I was aiming for? If you're seeing <i>a fun yet glam business casual outfit</i>, then hell yeah.<br />

It took trial and error to find pants that worked with the tad-too-short-top without proportions looking off. To nobody's surprise except mine, I encountered the same issue when trying on skirts. I really wanted to wear a pencil skirt, but anything knee-length just made the outfit look dowdy. The balance looked much better when I went with a shorter skirt -- and dare I say, more youthful? As for the matchy-matchy scallop hems, that can be overlooked because priority for choosing a navy skirt for the color scheme won out.<br />

I happen to snag this <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Kaqeebki0ZUUysIWiJZvBw" target="_blank">sleeveless tunic</a> on super sale recently, and of course, had to wear it immediately, lest I forget all about it. <span style="font-size: x-small;">The last time I bought an out-of-season item, I only recently unearthed it from the back of my closet<i>. Sigh. </i></span>So, here's an outfit that will take me from summer to fall. Then when the weather cools considerably, the tunic can still be worn layered over a crisp white button-up shirt.<br />

It's a work classic for a reason, given the items can be found in most closets as well as their neutral color palette. So in a trip down memory lane, I decided to re-create the outfit using current pieces I had on hand.<br />
<br />
<i>The more things change, the more they remain the same.</i> I swapped out the black pencil skirt for a textured navy one in the same silhouette. As my tastes have matured, out went the oversized watch and in with all the jewels. What has stayed the same? My trusty gray tote that I still love to this day. Oh, and apparently the way I still side-tuck my sweaters. <br />

Talk about lots of skin baring (for me!) in a sleeveless top <i>and</i> cropped pants. I chose thin fabrics that are loose but yet still fitted. (Side tangent: the pants are unlined and a tad itchy, so even in this heat, I wish there was an extra layer). I stuck to a neutral palette because... well, the cropped pants already kind of stand out at the office. Of course, a cardigan (in white) is tucked away in my bag for when indoor temps become unbearable. <br />

There's been a decent number of experiments (some <a href="http://tobrightenmyday.blogspot.com/2019/05/double-breasted-blazer-girlfriend-jeans.html" target="_blank">good</a>, others <a href="http://tobrightenmyday.blogspot.com/2019/07/the-t-shirt-midi-dress.html" target="_blank">ehh</a>), <a href="http://tobrightenmyday.blogspot.com/2019/06/a-lime-day.html" target="_blank">bold color</a> choices, some <a href="http://tobrightenmyday.blogspot.com/2019/06/silk-tulle.html" target="_blank">arm-baring</a>, just to name a few. For today's look, I'm doing a 180 and going back to my roots. Is there anything more classically summer than crisp whites with stripes? I think not. (I resisted the urge to carry the trendy <a href="http://tobrightenmyday.blogspot.com/2019/06/wicker-florals.html" target="_blank">wicker basket</a>, but couldn't help but accessorize with the quirky <a href="https://rstyle.me/+A4GC-l55qgn0rxYy3Aa7SA" target="_blank">lime coin purse</a>). <br />

The tweed blazer is just a bit too long with the dress (see last photo), and perhaps a bit heavy for summer. It was actually on back-order for awhile, but instead of waiting patiently to wear it during appropriate weather, I just had to take it out for instant gratification. When I tried it at home, the tweed blazer fits and looks amazing buttoned with girlfriend jeans. Outfit to come this fall!<br />

I paired it with white, wide-leg cropped pants and thought I looked <i>so chic</i> because everything was flowy! Upon further inspection, it was just <i>too</i> everything... too white, I looked too rectangular, top was too short, pants were too cropped. The only "too" statement I can make about today's outfit is that it's too casual -- but hey, there's a time and place for that (and it's not always a bad thing). The girlfriend jeans are just loose enough to counterbalance the shorter-than-I-prefer top.<br />

You'd think the dress came belt-less (or perhaps just ugly) given my decision making, but there's actually nothing wrong with the matching belt in the same color and fabric as the dress. I will pair the two one of these days... just having fun flexing my styling muscles for the time being. <br />

I previously gushed over the weighted and drapey material and am so happy to find an equivalent fabric in this midi version! I feel like the longer length shows off the fluidity of the fabric even more without hindering movement. This dress is definitely an easy one to toss on and be instant chic. In fact, I feel like I'm not doing the dress justice in these photos -- way over-accessorized!<br />
