Early Call Times

Outfit Details:

top: gift from bestie 

sweater: Loft

pants: Cottonon via Thredup

shoes: Talbots

ring: Olytata 

bog: Nine West

On works days when I have super early call times, for example up at 3 am and work at 5am...eeks, I know I never want to wear anything fussy, unless it is required. So I go for some easy staples and hope that the temperature agrees with my choices.

I chose this embellished black top to go with my patterned white jeans, which I cuffed at the ankle. And just in case it got chilly I threw on the little cardigan for warmth and to soften the black. Of course I wore my trusty nude Talbots sandals because they are comfortable for walking and standing! The fun accessory I chose is my lapis lazuli ring from Olytata in Tucson.

This outfit was practical, comfortable and professional for the early call time I had and eliminated any stress in trying to over plan an ensemble, especially at such an unsightly hour of the day.

Polished for Work

shirt: Banana Republic; pants: The Limited in the Drew Fit; shoes: Enzo Angiolini

 This is the basic outfit that I generally wear when I am working for Dior and traveling to their different counters in the NOVA, DC and Maryland area. Sometimes I get tired of wearing black all the time; but then I stop myself and say black is one of the most sophisticated colors to wear so stop ya whining.  

I don't know what it is about wearing black but it instantly polishes an outfit. Even if the pieces are rather plain or simple looking, if they are black then you instantly look put together and sophisticated. 

Now this doesn't necessarily apply to everything. Such as: if your pants are too short -- no matter what color the pants are they are still high waters and look ridiculous (in my opinion anyways). If your shirt has a neckline down to your belly button and the chance of having a nip slip is very high-- just because that top is black doesn't make it classy. 

But you get what I am saying. Black is one of those perfect neutral colors that really does go with everything, is an easy color to wear and has a magical slimming effect. 

Enjoy & Be Beautiful!
