Internship Look


Oasis button down shirt, $60
Pink cardigan, $33
Whistles cropped pants, £95
J Crew ballet flat, $190
Dooney bourke handbag, $268
AK Anne Klein water resistant watch, $65

I have less than three weeks until I start my internship, and I am already thinking of outfits to wear! I am a nerd, I know! The dresscode is business casual. So, the first day, I will go for something low key, and see what sort of reactions are received. I'll be working at an agency, and I do not want to look overdressed or make my clients feel uncomfortable around me.
I want to wear a simple black trouser (you can't go wrong with black) and ballet flats. I thought these peach ones from J.Crew were just adorable. I am also really big into sleeveless blouses lately.. meaning I have bought a handful over the past few weeks. haha Although inappropriate to wear alone, I would pair the blouse with a fun cardigan. I have been eying this particular one at Target recently. However, I can't justify spending over $30 for a cardigan at Target. Hey, I can be frugal sometimes!
Awhile back I bought a satchel from Kate Spade on one of their online same sales, and I will probably use that bag on my first day. The satchel can fit a whole binder in it and more! I purposely searched for a bag that could fit a binder/notebook, my overly large daily planner, and all of my daily needs in it. I spotted the bag above by Dooney & Bourke, and it is a great option as well (now I want it! haha).
 
Finally, I need to invest in a watch. I have been looking around, and I just can't seem to buy one. I don't use a watch.. I have my phone, I work at an office, and I always have a clock near me at school or at home, but I need to see the time for sessions. So, I will have to buy one eventually. 
Luckily, my mom briefly explained that she has a watch that belonged to my great grandmother. It just needs another battery. Hopefully I can get a battery for it and use that one! I am excited :)

I hope everyone is having a nice week! Tuesday's aren't very "happy," but at least it is almost the middle of the week!
I can't wait to watch the White Sox game tonight and drink some Moscato with my dad (although he doesn't drink Moscato haha).

Pink & Orange







Blazer (Similar, Here), Sparkled V-Neck (Express), Coral Belt (J Crew), Jeggings (A&F), 
Colorblock flats (Calvin Klein), Bag (Kate Spade)

This week has been fantastic, although very different from former spring breaks, I am still having a wonderful time with family, friends, and my doggy!
 I decided to take a few shots in my dining room before dinner with my very good friend, Mary! I love my mom (my free, novice photographer) for snapping these for me. Also, for having impeccable decorating taste! It makes for very pretty pictures. 
I just bought these Calvin Klein flats last weekend. I LOVE them, and they are so comfortable. Flats usual rub on my heel or tops of my feet, but these don't at all! They're not bad looking either ;)
I wanted to mix pink and orange together, because well, why not?! I think it ended up looking really fun! I made sure to not wear much color in the rest of the outfit (besides the belt).

For once, I didn't have to wear a coat! I am so excited for spring!
