sneaks: c/o converse / glasses: c/o warby parker]

The great thing about working in a creative industry is that the dress code is pretty flexible. So this particular day, I wanted to mix my blazer with a pair of sneaks to dress it down. I love how fun and playful this was with the pop of green and funky necklace layered on top.

I also get to share with you the meow-rific nails I tried out. You can find out about them here. Basically, I put these nail polish stickers on my nails in under 10 minutes with no dry time. For a person as impatient as I am waiting for polish to dry, this was a dream come true. I definitely recommend you go out right now to the drugstore to try these babies out!

    Harlequib - I LOVE the nail art, it’s so cute but it’s not overwhelming if you know what I mean. That’s also pretty awesome that you can wear chuck taylor’s to work, I wish I could.

    Robin - I love your nails! I have been on the fence about trying them myself because I, too, am impatient. I will have to give it a go now! BTW I always love how cheery and fun you always look in your photos. You should teach a class on how to look fun in photos. And sign me up. 😉ReplyCancel

    Miyan - love this look! the pop of color really makes this outfit :)) i tried those sally hansen stickers too! i tried them in glittery gold and they lasted about a week and a half without chipping or peeling; pretty good….because i am probably just as impatient as you are when it comes to drying my nails after painting!

    Sweet Laundry - I just “pinned” one of these photos because I really like this outfit with it’s business on top and party on the bottom. My office dress code is pretty casual so this is definitely something I could wear to work. Love your nails too!ReplyCancel

    Hannah - I. NEED. THAT. BLAZER.

    Amazing!!

    This is definitely one of my most favorite outfits of yours! Love the bright colors. And the nails! I have been searching ever CVS/Target in my area for the leopard print nail stickers but they are always sold out 🙁 Those things are amazing though…my last batch lasted two weeks with ZERO chips!ReplyCancel
