Work Wear: Mixing Prints & Pink

I’m sure you’ve read/heard me say this before…the main thing I miss about working in a traditional office is dressing up in the mornings and expressing my love for blazers. Now, my blazer collection is somewhat collecting dust, but with Spring approaching, I get to bring out all the bright ones to mix and match the season’s wardrobe. This pink one from Zara gets a lot of use.

I actually wore this look to a meeting a couple weeks ago when I was feeling kinda fun and sassy. Mixing stripes and leopard to say I take risks, and the bold blazer says I mean business. Perfect combo right? This Topshop stripe top is actually a bodysuit! I’m glad they are coming back around.

On the topic of work life, while I love being at home and working on the blog full-time, there are a few other things I do miss about corporate life….some of you might relate to this….

1. IT Support: I took have an IT person on speed dial for granted. Now, who do I call when my computer is freezing beyond explanation or my mouse is broken?! Nobody. I gotta figure that *ish out on my own. Frown face!

2. Coffee runs: I looked forward to my {almost} daily afternoon Starbucks runs. Maybe I’ll go down in between meetings and make some calls, or perhaps its a day to catch up with a coworker. Whether on my own or with a colleague, it was nice to have coffee dates to break up the day.

3. Having Co-Workers: Again, its nice to have like-minded people to talk to everyday, engage in meetings and thoughtful discussions, or gab about my weekends.
