Wear to Where, Day 7 – Coffee Work Date

I decided it would be a good idea to start a juice detox on the day that I’m writing about fabulous bloggers and what they wear when they get coffee or otherwise get out of the house to work. I don’t know about you, but I’m two hours in and I need like an IV of coffee, STAT. See what I did there with IV and stat in the same sentence? I’m not my full, punny self without caffeine!

Anyway.

These fantastic ladies look so chic yet like they can sit and write for hours. Check out how Style Studs and Lace, In Pursuit of Simple, A Jennuine Life, Call Ajaire rock some coffee shop meet up attire.

Wear to Where, Day 6 – Workout

I don’t know about you, but on Monday morning, I’m thinking about doing penance for my eating sins over the weekend. This weekend was basically a sugar bomb, so I need to get my ass moving. And cute workout clothes ALWAYS help the cause.

Look how Absolute Mommy, Fashionably Employed, Sweet Red Poppy, and Baste + Gather wear their workout gear. Super cute and ready to work it out!

Wear to Where, Day 5 – Company Holiday Party

So my company holiday party is coming up next week and I have no idea what to wear. I’m not even sure where it is to plan for an outfit. I’ll probably wear jeans, like I always do, but I want something a little special and different. I have a bunch of clothes I don’t wear because they seem too dressy for my office, but I have no where else to wear them. So maybe I’ll break out the trousers and heels for our holiday party.

All I know is that Librarian for LIfe + Style, Fashionably Employed, Wild + Wanderful, Gracious Threads are going to be the stars of their office holiday party.

Wear to Where, Day 4 – Rocker Chic Date Night Out

Honestly, I have no idea why I decided to talk about date night outfits. I was thinking about doing a helpful post that showed you how to transition from work wear to date wear, but really, I just slap on another layer of makeup and roll out the door in whatever I wore to work that day (see: my office isn’t super formal). So that idea was out.

And then I got to thinking. No matter what you put on, you want to be confident on a date, whether it’s the first one or the 500th. That’s the best thing you can wear.

That and some heels.

I picked up this jacket because I love the asymmetrical zipper and the leather details along the shoulder and sleeves. It’s a perfect date night piece because it’s a little edgy and it’ll keep you warm. What is it with women’s fancy clothes being basically thread while men can wear jackets and thick denim jeans and be toasty? It isn’t fair!

See how Wear.Wag.Repeat, If Only They Would Nap, The Wholesome Mama, Made by Sara are so rockin’ date night this week, too!

What’s your favorite date night look?

Looking for some date night in ideas? Yesterday’s fantastic Wear to Where tour guides have a bunch of ideas!

Wear to Where, Day 3 – Date Night In

I wear jeans almost all the time. They’re my go-to uniform for just about everything. But lately I’ve been embracing leggings. Just at home, guys, when no one is around to see me. Because honestly, sometimes they’re unflattering. I got a pair from Target that are THIN and shows things even I don’t want to see.

So I haven’t given much thought to date night in attire. If I do a movie or a hang-out-whatever night, I’m just in jeans. Today’s Wear to Where ladies are putting me to shame though.

Check out how Hayes Days, Adventures in Aubreyland, HattieLu Handmade, Wally and Grace, Paisley Roots style date night looks that are perfect for lounging at home and don’t cause I-Can’t-Answer-The-Door-For-The-Pizza-Guy-itis.
