Off duty

Silk top: Banana Republic;
Shorts: American Eagle;
Belt: Fossil;
Shoes: Zigi Soho.
How I've worn the shorts: here.

One of my coworkers, A., asked me what I wore during my off-time. We all have to wear black at work, so it's a little bit of a thrill to see a coworker in normal clothes when she comes to the store on her off day and feel like you understand her a little bit better. I told A. that I wore dresses all the time, and she laughed. "What, do you go to church all the time or something?" Um, not really. It always amuses me when people think I'm overly dressed up during my off days, because I've gotten so used to it.

I decided to experiment Monday night with the few separates I do have. Maybe it's a little bit of leftover patriotism from July 4th, but I really like the juxtaposition of the feminine royal blue top and the practical khakis.

  7. Great summer look---you look fantastic :)

    My current workplace doesn't get dresses either. One of my co-workers brought a dress she'd bought into work to get opinions, and every single person asked her "but what is it FOR?". I wanted to burst out DRESSES ARE AWESOME EVERRRRRY DAY. NO OCCASION NEEDED. haha
