Yesterday’s work outfit was dedicated toward another IG challenge of mixing stripes + polka dots. I would have rather used a striped blazer over the polka dot shirt (but that wouldn’t work for my job), so I went with plaid pants instead. It was loud, but worked! 🙂
I wore this outfit yesterday in order to combine gold & silver for an Instagram challenge. I’m not one to follow “fashion rules” 100% (e.g. no white after labor day, no black and brown leather, etc.), but mixing gold and silver jewelry was a hard one for my brain to wrap around! I chose to use a gold-toned belt (with a silver buckle) and a silver-toned watch. I was willing to accept that mix. 🙂
Can you also see how tired I am in this picture LOL? Sorry about the shadows! It was still dark outside when the picture was taken. 😐

Retro sneakers anyone? 🙂
Today’s outfit really isn’t too exciting. Boring cardigan. Black pants. Semi-interesting lace top. But on my feet… horses!
For those that know me personally, horses are a huge part of my life. I started riding when I was a wee child of 3 years and it’s stuck with me forever and ever. So when I saw these flats on clearance, I had to have them. They are somewhat of a wool texture on the outside, and the dark color makes for a good winter loafer.
And if you love them as much as I do, there is a sweatshirt and blouse to match! If you don’t… well, maybe they will make a dog version. 🙂

I purchased this sweater at 50% off on Black Friday. It’s a tunic, longer in the back, and I love it! It’s somewhat nautical in nature and 3/4 length sleeves aka so comfy! But… makes me dream of warmer weather and not very warm itself. Good news is it will be perfect this spring and it comes in a variety of colors!
I also recently scooped up this bag at almost 40% off! Again, makes me dream of spring-time and warmer weather! But, don’t shoot the messenger if you see me carrying it a lot more before spring. 🙂

One of the biggest challenges I face in my profession is mixing style and comfort. I’m currently on month #6 of clinical rotations for pharmacy school and this month I’m at a retail pharmacy. My preceptor works 13 hour shifts, thus I work with her on those days. For those of you that aren’t super familiar with retail pharmacy — the employees work on their feet all day. But I just can’t – just can’t – buy into the whole “clog” world. Not yet. Maybe when I’m 50 and don’t care anymore?
When stores started advertising “a new way to wear a sweatshirt” this past fall, I was on board! If my feet hurt a little, then I’m all about my top half being comfy. 🙂 The “sweatshirt” I have on today was on super sale and I nabbed it up quickly over the holidays! And wearing it today…… to work!
Doesn’t it make you feel like summer…. a little?

Another casual post today (tomorrow I go back to work 🙁 ) Today is Day #2 in the Instagram style challenge presented by @shannonsa: Today is plaid + stripes.
My very first blog post (!!!!):
If you have followed my Instagram account, last week I completed @shannonsa’s weekly style challenge. This week is her 4th challenge, which is all about plaid. I thought I’d kick off my first blog post with a more casual outfit in lieu of the IG challenge: Plaid (well close enough, gingham) + leopard.
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
