Today's Work Wears outfit is really basic. I wear variations of this outfit often. I feel like it's kinda boring, but I realized that maybe being scared of sharing boring outfits makes me seem like I dress super colorful every day or always wear heels, which is just not true.
Plus, basics are secretly my favorite pieces. As much as I love heels and statement necklaces, the stuff I wear the most is a good pair of jeans, comfy shoes and button up tops. Now you know. 🙂
What I'm wearing: Tunic/Nasty Gal, Jeans/UO, Shoes/Steve Madden, Sunnies/ABM for Bonlook, Bracelet/Madewell.
Our CSA box brought us flowers this week.
Here's a little peek at my studio progress.
I'm still working on putting it all together and hoping to share it with you here by the end of the month! It's hilarious how happy these organized-by-color craft supplies make me. Total day brightener.
Till next time. xo. Elsie

love seeing this outfit. makes me feel better about my “lazier” days.
Organized by color anything is amazing! I recently organized my clothes by color and it’s been a game-changer as far as making getting ready easier!
Great photos! I love your positive and all sunshine-y attitude. 🙂
Also, that door’s color is wonderful!
Have a nice day, Rona from threepinkcats
Just catching up with my ABM reading and wanted to chime in on the idea of basics…they are my ‘go to’ wardrobe choice every single work day for most of the year! Chino pants that fall just below the hip, (or chino skirts), tailored button down shirts – (long or short sleeve, depending on the weather), dark socks or tights, corduroy blazers, and my favorite shoes are penny loafers (for ‘fun’ – I have a very conservative job).
With just these basic items in a variety of colors I rarely miss a beat during the morning rush to get dressed for work.
In summer I get a little more dressy with lightweight dresses, skirts, and stockings, but I enjoy being able to change it up for a few months!
And on another ‘catching up’ note: I love the new site design – as always, it’s lookin’ good ladies (and gentleman)! Thanks so much…
Ahh! I love how colorful your photos are all the time. I totally agree that the rainbow of colors can make your day- I already want an area like you have on the last photo! Love this (:
those shoes! i’m developing a new-found love for leopard print :)))

Organized by color, especially if it’s All the colors, is the best! Rainbows always make me happy. 🙂
Also, besides how happy you look in that last picture, I have to say you totally remind of Linda Ronstadt from the 80’s. Which I mean as a compliment, she is *pretty*!
I love everything about this look! Classy and simple!
I’m loving your work attire! Comfy yet stylish!

You are gorgeous, and so are those sunnies and the cute shoes! I love a basic, especially now that I’m getting a bit more set in my style. I used to only live in quirky sundresses and crazy fun pieces I picked up whilst living in Korea, but slowly some cute basics are working their way in, and I love how so fresh and so clean clean it makes me feel!
You look gorgeous, I love basics and you pull them off so well x
Love white shirts ; )
