Monday Monday
I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend full of time with family and friends, relaxation, and delicious food. I know I enjoyed all of the aforementioned - especially the last item on that list (I'm looking at you, mashed potatoes).
Somehow long weekends always come to an end, and Monday and the return to work are inevitable. The thought of putting too much effort into my appearance or wearing anything remotely constricting after 5 days of strictly leggings, soft, over-sized shirts, and topknots is painful, if not unbearable. Pants with a zipper? No, thank you. Thoroughly dried and styled hair? Why? HOW? I actually think I may have forgotten how to use a blow dryer.
OK, so all of that may be a slight exaggeration; I don't want anyone thinking I'm a slob. Today's post is all about the art of transitioning those soft, comfortable pieces which were so enjoyable over the long weekend into the work week; I want to show up to work looking put together but not sacrificing my comfort in doing so. The key to taking my comfies from Thanksgiving weekend to Monday morning at the office? You guessed it: accessorizing!
The foundation of this outfit is plain and simple: leggings* and a soft, knit turtleneck**. Next comes the fun part: creating a theme and executing it with accessories! I wanted to go for a casual yet glam look, and to pull it off, I chose black suede heels, my favorite camel scarf, gold accessories***, and made it pop with a red lip. This is a blank canvas of an outfit, so feel free to go with whatever accessories you want to make it your own - sometimes the simpler, the better.
