I really enjoy reading “Day In the Life of” posts, but I’ve never felt the urge to write one of my own. There isn’t enough spin in the world for the level of mundane I experience on a daily basis. However, I recently had a OMGsobusy day that involved two outfit changes and I figured that might be worth blogging. So here we are.

Outfit #1 is what I wore to work in the morning. I had a client event to attend , so this is my effort at looking sooper dooper professional. The heels were a mistake. Walking 5 blocks to and from the event venue, plus 2.5 hours of standing around, proved too much for my trusty Weitzman pumps. They’re comfortable … but not that comfortable. I changed into flats as soon as I got back to the office.

outfit #1

I also untucked my top and changed out of my blazer. I like to eat my lunch in comfort, you know? I also had to make a dash to a personal appointment in the afternoon, and there was no way I was going to commute in heels. So, outfit #2:

sweater, Joe Fresh; shoes, J. Crew Factory

After trekking back to the office – where I made a valiant effort to do some actual work – it was time to get ready for another client event. Since this one was a cocktail reception at a swanky hotel, I had to upgrade to dress. Outfit #3:

(Sorry about the terrible pic, but there was no way to take an unobtrusive photo, and I really didn’t want to explain the whole thing. Bathroom selfie next time, ‘Kay?)

Three hours later, my feet were just about ready to petition for secession from the rest of my body, and I was ready to call it a night. My final outfit of the (14 hour) day involved pyjamas, and might just have been my favourite. No, you’re not getting a picture of it.

  1. Loved this post! Fun to see how your outfit morphed throughout the day. Love that sweater too…looks cute, but may also fit into my “stay at home mom chic” wardrobe (ps: said wardrobe is nowhere even close to approximating chic yet…ugh)
