Wearing: Yellow shorts
Had to do a bit of tailoring on these (like replacing the button and tidying up the loose ends on the hem) but I couldn't resist these sweet silk shorts. I wish so badly I could wear them to work but the only shorts I allow in the office are my corporate shorts. In any case, they're a dressy day-time option and perfect for dinner on my imaginary upcoming vacation.

More than a Number
Quick Friday night post...
Some of you know I'm an account executive at Leo Burnett and work on Special K - a hugely inspirational and insightful brand that has a fresh point of view on women today. I wanted to share my latest work project, which shifts the focus from sizes to feelings. We need to remember we're more than a number. I'm size optimistic!

Wearing: White on white
The day, today, I look like a painter and don't mind.
And yes, just as Labor Day approaches and summer is coming to an end (did it ever really start?) I find my dream white boyfriend jeans that are the perfect amount of torn. I struggle a lot with white jeans only because I fear I'll be too preppy, too nautical, too country club. The rips and looser fit make anything a little edgier.
The bag is a must-buy, girls. It holds everything and is a great burgundy/brown-ish alternative to the basic black work bag I wear every day. Plus it's 30 dollars, which is just the cherry on top of my very cheap sundae.

Wearing: Inverse stripes
This outfit is basically the inverse of this exact ensemble but what can I say - I love my shorts and I love my stripes. I own many a striped tees but what I love about this one is the fact that it's black with white stripes, instead of the opposite. I know, mind-blowing. Also, I found a tumblr that's completely inspired by stripes. You're welcome?

Wearing: A jumpsuit
Finally a jumpsuit. After posting about my onezie crush more than a year ago, I finally found one and have yet to spare it from any special occasion. From a baby shower to my boyfriend's birthday dinner, this thing a one-piece wonder.

Shoesday
So I have a little bit of a t-strap infatuation and by that I mean I recently acquired two new pairs (black and bone), totaling my collection to three. Yes, probably excessive but I just love the look and I know they'll always be classic.
Clockwise from top left:

And, I'm back.
Summer has sort of slipped away and aside from typical excuses for my absence (photographer was out of town, lack of time, lack of patience), well - I'm gonna say it - I didn't really feel like blogging. Life was happening and I was living it; not pausing for an outfit post in front of my beloved brick wall.
So after my six-week hiatus, I learned something. This blog needs to work for me. Not the other way around. And interestingly enough, in these six weeks my style has evolved a bit. I cherish simplicity. Basics are my best friends and uncomplicated clothes are fun to me. Less trendy, more classic. Okay, sometimes a little trendy.
I now own a Joie tee and thanks to my friend Anj, I pronounce the brand correctly. It's Jo-wah, soft j. I practically live in these jorts and these Sam Edelmans. Oh, and outerwear. Because apparently Chicago forgot how to do summer.
