Workwear: Outfit Recaps from Week 1

Last Tuesday was my first day at the "big kid" job. One of the great things about working at a fashion company (besides the rockin employee discount) is that there is a lot of freedom to express my personal style. It is not a company that is insistent upon their employees wearing the brand 24/7, so I can still wear what I want and work in a few pieces of theirs here and there without having to be in the brand head-to-toe. Here is what I wore for my first week:

 

Tuesday: H&M blazer, F21 top, J.Crew Minnie pants, Gap scarf, Vintage cuff, Kate Spade outlet tote, Steve Madden black flats

Wednesday: Equipment blouse via TJ Maxx, F21 skirt, NY& Co. outlet necklace, Banana Republic outlet sandals

 

Thursday: Gap blazer, Anthropologie top (sale), Zara red pants, Mondani bag via Steinmart, DV for Target wedges

Friday: Old Navy vest, J.Crew tank, Gap jeans, Vintage cuff, Steve Madden heels

Unfortunately, I don't currently have anyone to take my outfit photos and I kinda suck at self-timer photos, so instagram will have to do for now. The worst part is that you can't see my shoes in any of the pictures; outfits like the one from Friday are much cuter when you can see the heels that complete the look. Also as a bonus, I'll show you my outfits from the weekend. Saturday was my last day at my part-time job at the bridal shop, and Sunday I ran errands. Don't forget to be following me on instagram (khaverland528) to see these outfits live!

 

 Saturday: H&M blazer, F21 tee and necklace, Gap black skinny pants, Steve Madden black flats

Sunday: F21 tank and headband, J.Crew outlet cut-offs and tote, Target bronze sandals

What was your favorite outfit from last week?

In the past month...

...I enjoyed Cinco de Mayo with some of my favorite people

 

...I celebrated my 22nd birthday

 

(birthday hats, a present from my little bro, birthday balloon, my favorite little man) 

...I became an alumni of my honor fraternity

 

...I got a job offer!  

One week from today, I will be starting my BIG GIRL job as a production assistant at the home office of a major clothing company. This means I've also begun hunting for a grown-up apartment, so I'm sure you'll be seeing lots of home decor inspiration from me on the blog and on my pinterest. It is still feels a little surreal that I'm graduating college Sunday and then starting a real job so quickly, but I am beyond grateful to be one of the few college graduates out there who has a job lined up. I feel extremely lucky!
