Business Traveler

I did some rare business travel this week. It doesn’t matter where, since I almost never left the hotel and dressed only for a dry, constant 67 degrees.

Monday


Suit, Moda International. Blouse, Mushka by Sienna Rose. Brooch, self-made. Shoes, Linea Paolo.

There was some confusion on what to wear on the first day. I erred on the formal side. I’ve been mistaken for a hotel employee in this suit in the past, so I tried to break up the conservative look with a colorful blouse, quirky brooch, and khaki slingbacks.


Tuesday


Bolero, Express (swap). Dress, Ann Taylor Loft. Shoes, Two Lips. Necklace, Kenneth Cole Reaction.

Ah….that’s more like it. I feel more like myself in this ensemble. A dress, contrasting colors, pattern mix, and funky shoes are my signature.


Wednesday


Jacket, Charlotte Russe (overdyed). Dress, London Times (hand-me-down and shortened). Necklace, World Market. Shoes, Linea Paolo. Purse, Caprice (thrifted and vintage).

By this point, I’m pretty tired. I’m also tired of the gorilla pod and no remote. (I’m using the camera’s self-timer with so-so results.)

For a casual dinner Wednesday evening, I briefly considered the ensemble below right, but instead just repeated Sunday’s outfit.


Thursday


Sweater, I Heart Ronson. Dress, Ann Taylor Loft. Brooch, my grandmother. Shoes, Two Lips.

I only had a few hours of meetings before flying back home. To travel, I swapped out the brooch for a belt and pulled on my trusty cowboy boots.


So glad to come home to kittens and the Muchacho!
