Go-To Get-Up

Tee: Urban Outfitters, $10 // Blazer: Vintage, thrifted, $1.50 // Jeans: Guess via TJMaxx, $28 // Shoes: Abaete for Payless // Scarf: Courtesy of LOFT via the Lucky Alpha Shopper program

When I woke up this morning, my already nasty cold had worsened, so I decided to go to work late. By the time I rolled out of bed, I wanted to get ready as quickly as possible. Without really thinking, I threw on this outfit. When in doubt (or a hurry), my default combination is a t-shirt, blazer, skinnies and a scarf. I suppose it's pretty predictable, but I tried to keep things interesting with the stripes and floral combo. Isn't the scarf pretty? I have a feeling I'll be wearing it a lot this spring. The pumps were my attempt at making the look more office-appropriate since I'm not really supposed to wear jeans. 

Coverage of the fashion show to come tomorrow!

  7. You always do a great job at rocking the scarfs. Any tips? Any time I try to wear a scarf it never looks right unless I'm wearing a winter coat. My whole upper body always looks engulfed in the material.

  12. I love this look, this is my default look for work as well when I over sleep. I pair my skinnies with heels and blazer too hoping people at work will get over the fact I'm wearing jeans.
