The trouble with working from home is that I never seem to pull outfits together. Jeans and an American Apparel v-neck might as well be my uniform. I didn't think that would fly at Kolo last week, so I had fun packing and planning outfits for my visit. I didn't intend on following a color scheme, but that's sort of what ended up happening – lots of navy blue & army green.

This was my brief encounter with actual weather (we even had snow on Thursday – though I know the east coast has been dumped on since then!) and it was fun to play with layers. I posted these images on Instagram last week and wanted to share them here as well because I love "what I wore" posts.

Here are the daily outfit details, in case you're curious (Clearly, I re-wore a lot of the same stuff) :

M : target dress & tights, madewell boots, gap scarf
T : target dress & tights, j.crew & long-sleeve tee, madewell boots, gap scarf
W : j.crew jeans, ann taylor loft top, gap blazer, bloch flats
T : madewell dress & boots, martin&osa sweater, target tights, gap scarf
F : j.crew jeans, madewell top & boots, gap blazer, lululemon scarf

    What a fun idea 🙂 I hear about how some celebs photograph themselves vs. looking in the mirror and I initially think it’s kind of strange, but for special occassions, I would totally do it. I’ve seen more than one bad photo of myself in an outfit I thought was flattering.
    …I digress.
    You look great in all of these looks, by the way 🙂

    I also have your Monday dress from Target – actually, two of them (the gray and khaki). Love them! I think they could be a three season dress – bigger score! I’ve declared this autumn and winter the seasons of the dress for me. Fun, fun! Can’t wait to see what you cooked up with Kolo. . .

    Loved this post!!! SO cute! So many times “what I wore” posts tend to feature really pretty outfits but ones that I wouldn’t really wear because they are too unique or quirky; I love that your outfits here are super lovely but still very ‘normal’ 🙂

    I am totally obsessed with Wednesday’s outfit! The navy blue with the combo of yellow/grey.. ah I’m in love! I’m normally a leggings/nice long top kind of girl but if I do have to go out, I tend to add boots & a cute blazer or sweater. I can’t wait to see what you & Kolo have come up with.

    I am heading off to a conference next week for 5 days and this is exactly what I needed! I love how you re-used pieces in various ways and in layers. I am all about packing light. Thank you for all of these ideas. I can only hope to pull it off as cute as you!

    I like your style! I work from home too and even if it’s nice ’cause you can save money on clothes shopping it’s dangerous because you get lazy and often find yourself with nothing nice to wear when you go out. But lately I’ve been feeling like renovating my style a bit, so please post more of these “what I wore” because they are good inspiration for me! 🙂
    (such a pity here in Italy I can’t find most of the brands and shop you use)
