Take II: Multi-Seasonal Whites

by C - Thursday, November 15, 2018

The last time I wore this pink sweater + white ankle pants combo, I dressed it up for an office appropriate look. Today's version falls on the other end of the spectrum. This look is completely casual, and most importantly, comfortable -- perfect for casual Fridays or running errands.

Prep in my Step

by C - Monday, January 29, 2018

My coworker saw me and said that my outfit gave her flashbacks, in a good way. "Britches [of Georgetowne] polos?" At my blank look, she explained that the polos were huge in the 80s with the warthog logo. I also popped my collar just like they did back then, lol. They would "pin and tuck" their jeans (because skinny jeans were not in) and finish the look with boat shoes. It was so cute to see her so excited as she reminisced.
