Making the Casual, Comfortable Chinos-look the exception.

Salmon pink blazer and brown leather bag, H&M. Light beige chinos and white tank top, Monki. White shoes, Fred Perry. Glasses, Chanel.

Haha, if I had realized this was going to be the outfit I'd put up on the blog's one month anniversary, I might have worn something a little more festive! But yesterday was all work, just like today is. Apparently you don't get the day off just because your blog turns 1 (month). How peculiar (hmm).

Before I started the blog, and had no reason to put any thought into my outfits during the weekdays, this is exactly what I used to look like almost every single day. Comfy pants - check, comfy shoes - check, plain top - check, over sized blazer - check. Plus glasses and pony tail. All done and ready for work!

I really don't feel like it's cheating in any way that I put a lot more time and effort into the way I dress since I began posting here - just like it's not cheating to dress up when you're going to a party just because you usually wear jeans and a t-shirt at home. I'm just grateful to have an excuse to wear all the great items I had almost forgotten about. Clothes shouldn't just be hanging in your wardrobe, they should accompany you on all of your adventures - and now mine do!

But that doesn't mean I don't still like the casual, comfortable chinos-and-blazer look. I'd just rather let it be the exception than the rule.
