I had to do some typing and clerical testing for an job for which I hope to interview. Since the testing was being done by a third party, I knew I could likely get away with showing up in any thing, without it implicating my chances at the position. But I also knew better than that. For those that weighed in on the defense-dress, you'll recognize the outfit. I initially ruled this outfit out because it was too short. It certainly wasn't as bad as I thought. And really, it pulled together the secretary vibe of the whole situation, too!
A day or two later, my sister and I embarked on a cross-city mission of vehicular shuffling (also known as picking my parents' car up from the airport, since neither of us were good enough daughters to chauffeur them at 4 am). It was a grey day, so I decided to go full on colour!
All right, I didn't actually make it out the door in this - it was far too cold to be barelegged. I swapped out the skirt for my grey skinny jeans.
Both outfits relied on black jackets. Say what you will about expressing personality through outerwear, I do love my basic pieces. Particularly, the leather jacket from the first outfit is possibly the most handy jacket I have, since it dresses up and down so easily!
The weather has been crazy here too. I love both your outfits, especially the 2nd one, too bad it was too cold for the skirt!
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with a black leather jacket!
ReplyDeleteHey, I just realized we have the same blog background. :)
I love layering a shirt under a jumper, so I love your first outfit. And all the colors in the 2nd one are so much fun! Too bad you had to switch the skirt for the jeans... at least you still kept the colorful socks, right?
ReplyDeleteI love the first outfit with the leather jacket! So. cute. The colorful outfit is also adorable. I love the addition of the socks! Colorful socks are always the best.
