Today's Outfit: Easy Work Ensemble #1

  • Joe Fresh cardigan
  • American Apparel lace tee
  • TNA racerback tank
  • Uniqlo denim leggings
  • Timex watch
  • Kate Spade rainboots


Two things really stood out about my first week of work. First, it rained a lot, which meant I wore my Kate Spade rainboots for most of it. Second, getting up early and undergoing endless hours of training was a lot more exhausting than anticipated. As discussed in Tuesday's post, most days I went for easy, comfortable outfits that I was sure would work. This is one example of a surefire outfit combination that I fall back on when I can't think of anything else to wear: a cardigan over a top, skinny jeans, and boots. I like how the dashes of red in the rainboots' bows and the watch strap add colour along with the yellow cardigan, while the pearl buttons on the cardigan and lacy pattern of the top provide points of visual interest. It proves that "easy and comfortable" doesn't necessarily equal "boring."
