No matter which way you go, how far you travel, or the length of your escapes… eventually, all roads lead back to work. Which is just as well – because this bird can get quite antsy after a while with little to do. I don’t think of myself as a workaholic, necessarily, although I do consider myself somewhat of a perfectionist, with a bit of an obsessive streak. This can play really well with my organizational abilities, and somewhat discordantly, at times, in my home life when I’m attempting to fit everything into an "excel spreadsheet,” as hubby likes to say.
Needless to say, it is time to get back to my professional wardrobe, as I swap my bikinis for boardroom pumps, and my beach shorts for pencil skirs. Though I can’t say it’s all bad, as summer is by far the most forgiving and relaxed season for the business-minded audience such as myself.
Here, I’m feeling particularly feminine in my pastel-teal dress from Ann Taylor (bought on a work trip last year in Denver). The shirt has been worn before (on the lawns of Tanglewood), and these shoes are new! I’ve been looking for some black-and-white footwear lately, and snatched up these puppies from a little consignment store called “The Preppy Turtle,” on our recent trip to Bedford. They have all of the qualities I like: adorable, office-friendly, and comfortable!
