Swoon Style and Home: What I Wore {post 79} June 2015 Style Challenge

Hey there! It's Friday again! Time for weekend! Time for fun! Time for a recap of my third week of the Style Challenge. This week was tricky for a couple of reasons: (1) I had to move things around because I had court one day and a big meeting another; and (2) I was out of the office on Thursday and Friday with my kids (it's that weird time of year when they're done school but camps don't start, so we cobble together their care). I fully intended to do the challenge, but at the end of the day, my outfits were not blog post worthy - I was home with them on a rainy day on Thursday (read: I wore yoga pants, an old cotton tee and hair in a bun) and took them to Hershey Park on Friday (read: shorts, tank top, and sweat). All this to say, only three outfits this week.

June 15: Put a Bow on It

I had court this day, so I had to wear a suit. There's only so much creativity and leeway you get with a suit. And, of course, in keeping with the weather that we've seen this Spring so far, it was insanely hot this day. I wore my black skirt suit (from 2003 - seriously. From Petite Sophisticate, which doesn't even exist anymore) and a blouse from Loft from 2006. The blouse is a halter top with a bow that ties at the neck. I rarely wear the blouse and I'm not sure why. It's very flowy, but I tucked it in and it was fine. I wore the outfit without the jacket all day except when I was in front of the judge.

June 16: Daydream Vacation

Another crazy hot day. I took my cues from a dress I bought with Jamie a few weeks ago at the j.crew factory - a lovely crisp, light little linen sundress with an A-line cut. This is a dress I would love to wear on a beachy vacation because it's so light and breezy. And it was so hot at work that I didn't care how casual it was. I wore with my gold & brown leather wedges. I think this photo has a filter on it.

June 17: Long Necklace

This was the day of my big meeting at work. Actually, meetings (plural). It was a busy day and I had to step it up a bit in terms of formality. A bunch of my colleagues wear suits to these meetings, but I cannot bring myself to do that especially since I wore one earlier that week. So I wore my go-to: a wrap dress. I bought this dress (again) with Jamie at the outlets. This was the Ann Taylor outlet and was on crazy clearance. I think it was $25. I wore my pink quilted sling-backs and my long necklace from j.crew.
