Casual Office Style

Wearing:

One of those days where you just don't want to put in the effort of getting dressed.

Collectively, as women, it's guaranteed to happen to us. Those days where you just stand in your closet and stare around at all the fabrics and linens hanging effortlessly on their designated posts. These moments where you seem to be internally yelling "I don't want this!"

{Every woman has those moments}

Those moments where you just seem to hate every piece of clothing you own. There is nothing good enough in that closet that will personify the kind of woman you wish to be that day. There is nothing but sheer frustration that you closet is seriously lacking (and yet not one more piece of clothing can be packed in there).

One of those days, can quickly become two or three. Until eventually you just seem to go for the basics.

Basic blue skinnie mini, with a basic blush studded blouse. And here we go, basic-casual-office-style. Easy enough for those days that you just want to rip your closet from its hinges. Effortless enough to give you sense of style as though you woke up like this.

Paired with simple pumps and accessories, it can quickly put an end to the never ending frustration.

Classy and graceful enough for a day at the office in Corporate America.

Until next time friends <3

Endless Road to Summer

Wearing:

It honestly already feels like summer.

But then again, in Sunny South Florida, summer usually arrives in April. So I would say we're right on track. How do you dress according to season, when you live in an endless summer? It's as though Miami seems to have forgotten that Spring comes in between Winter and Summer. Nope. We went straight into Summer mode.

The temperatures are nearing the 90's and the weather can be described by one word: HOT.

But Spring lives in the heart, and is manifested in the fashion of those of us who keep it alive. Spring lives in the florals and pastels that we wear for ourselves. That we project to those around them, asking them to embrace the season of flowers and rebirth.

Spring is a time to embrace the renewal of life. A time in which you can reflect on those aspects of yourself you wish to rebuild. remake. and remold. This is the time of "spring cleaning".

Out with the old and in with the new.

But Miami and has deemed to skip this period of rebirth and has catapulted into the blistering heat of summer. Where the only solace you can find is the happiness you feel from the warmth of the sun.

But sometimes we all need a little reminder.

{It's still Spring}

Until next time friends <3

Legs For Days

Wearing:

I've learned, over time, one simple truth when building the self's inner confidence:

The goal is not compare yourself to others, but to compare others to yourself.

The reality (always has been, and always will be) that you are good enough.

Always put yourself first.

Stripes, yellow, and pearls! Oh My!

Wearing:

There is a large sense of lethargy in my world. The simple task of taking a trail of thought, and the energy which one must consume in order to document such thoughts -- bring about an utter and total sense of loathing. Why not simply think it and be done with it?

The beauty of the mind recorder is that it enables the thinker to return to these thoughts and be able to expand on them. To journey further into the mind where these wisps of ideas first originated from. The same thinker who was once too lethargic to give a literary symbols to these thoughts, is inhibiting his ability to expand on them at a later time. This is partly why the art of philosophy seems to be slowly dying out.

My mind wanders to these moments at the most inconvenient times. The fleeting moments before sleep. The slow car rides on each monotonous morning. The small moments of silence nestled in my tiny corner of Corporate America. But how do you begin to make sense of a mind that is in constant and utter disarray. How does one reconcile their thoughts in this kind of life. One in which small moments are only available for brief moments during the hours of sunlight.

But to overcome the lethargic impulses at night is to recover the scattered pieces of the days forays into the mind. It is to overcome the boundary between you and everlasting thoughts. If one was to simply take the time to record these thoughts upon arrival, they would not be left to scatter with the remnants of sleep.

They would enable the thinker to create something that would live forever.

"We all die. The goal is not to live forever, it is to create something that will."
