I wore this outfit on the first day of the 3 week hearing that will be consuming my July, hoping that I had judged the business informal dress code correctly. Luckily, I had. It’s actually been interesting to see the style choices of the other women at the hearing (it’s a huge one, so the room is packed). So far, there’s been a lot less “safe” black than I was expecting.
For my part, I decided against wearing a matching black blazer with this outfit because it seemed a bit too severe, I like how the greige blazer softens the look, while still keeping things polished. I know I’ve said this before, but this Theory blazer (thrifted for $8!) was such a good buy. Of course, I couldn’t resist a little bit of whimsy — yellow butterflies, what could be more cheerful? That cheer will come in handy over the next 3 weeks …
Okay, so now I want daily updates on what your fellow ladies are wearing! That’s part of the fun of being downtown again; seeing all the great outfits out there and getting inspiration for my own.
