Tailored Business Casual

Tuesday's post showed different incarnations of the same outfit - trousers, dress shirts, and sweaters. The rest of week, I stuck with a similar but different style... bootcut dress pants, blouses and sweaters. How original!

The temperature in our office fluctuates between too cold and too warm. There is rarely an in-between. Being warm on Monday, I wore short sleeves on Tuesday.

Being too cold on Tuesday, I wore a warm sweater on Wednesday.

Naturally, I was warm. I think layers are going to be integral at this job!

Slim line

I'll admit, I've been slacking off on the creativity with the clothes because of all the reading I've been doing to prepare for my thesis defense. Instead, I've been using basic clothing experiments to help solve the getting dressed dilemma. Last week (or the last 2 weeks), I did cardigans vs. blazers. This week was skinny jeans vs. wide leg jeans.

I like skinny jeans because they tuck nicely into boots, to stave off the damp ankle scenario that happens from time to time. Even though I dressed these pants for winter, I styled them for spring - yay floral jackets!

My thesis exploded all over my floor... and my life

I've been obsessed with grey skinny jeans for months, and finally scored a pair a few weeks ago. They were the perfect base for my Jets themed outfit when we went to the hockey game.

No, I don't usually wear my socks OVER my jeans... oops!

And colour - who doesn't love a good coloured skinny? I managed to pick these teal pants up for $1 at Winners when I went shopping with my mom (Ok, she also bought me the grey skinnies when we went to Value Village before that. Aren't Moms awesome?) Naturally, purple was the shirt I had to wear with them!

Apparently I didn't take a picture of my usual blue skinny jeans. But I swear I wore them too!
