Every year, my office does a Be Seen in Jeans Week in honour of Canadian Finals Rodeo. Basically, this means we can wear jeans every day for a week. Rather that take the literal road, I decided to have a little fun. Hence, my denim-jacket-goes-to-the-office look. I’ve been waiting for a chance to wear this outfit ever since I put it together for my “one piece, three ways” series this summer. I think it was worth the wait?

My love for this thrifted forest green MaxMara skirt is still going strong, and I love how it looks paired with a lumberjack-y top half. Or should that be cowboy-esque? Ahem. Here’s another million pictures to prove how deep my love is. (Do you have the Bee Gees stuck in your head? Good! Me too, and I’d hate to be alone.)

I really love this skirt. I also love the weather this year, which let me wear this skirt in mid-October – sans fleece tights or a heavy jacket. Any jacket, really. A cozy sweater from Joe Fresh was sufficient. Even the hat was mostly decorative – as was the brooch, of course.

I’m not sure if I’ve mastered the art of knee-high socks, but these Frye boots call for them so I hope this works. That’s what you get when you buy shoes a whole size too big … which is what you do, of course, when you find $50 Frye boots at Winners. Right? Right.

I don’t know what possessed me to try this tights+shoes combo, so let’s chalk it up to exhaustion. My daughter had the sniffles, and I didn’t get a lot of sleep the night before. I threw on a wrap dress because it’s just about the easiest thing. I always forget about this DVF number; maybe because it’s leopard print and, hence, a little “racy” for the office? Who knows.

Of course, I went and threw on a cardigan because … werk. There’s only so much disco the office can handle.
