one pair, five ways: partially professional

Since we're still talking black dress pants, I figured I should throw something together that was a little more appropriate for the work place. Yes, something more fitting than a sheer blouse that highlights my navy blue bra.


Many of you will recognize this blazer. Yes I wear it A LOT, and it probably belonged to an elementary school child. And while I am all about purchasing a nice blazer (ahh Helmut Lang, a girl can dream right?), I will not leave a $4 blazer on the rack. I will not.


Same pants, same shoes, but a short blazer with a solid t-shirt works great for most 9-5's. This look is all about comfort, and the cotton pants and t-shirt make my skin super happy. I mean, there is nothing worse than working all day in itchy/tight clothing, right? Blazer: vintage, $4. T-shirt: no tag, $1 (found in great thrift store on Lexington). Jewelry: American Eagle, Kohl's, F21.


If you're currently in the DMV, try Value Village in Hyattsville, MD. Great blazer selection, and you won't spend more than $8.
