February 2012

I’m obsessed with fashion.  Like, there are literally 15 fashion magazines stacked up next to my bed as I write this, kind of obsessed.

But I’m very sartorially practical, and the sad {and happy} truth of it all is that I don’t work at a trendy NYC agency, but in my cozy home office instead.  Which means on a day-to-day basis the only humans who see me are in my carpool {hi kids!}, or have been married to me for quite some time {hi honey!}, so I don’t get sussed up a lot.  My everyday look is pretty much a variation on the theme: jeans and a tee.

I’ve posted extensively about my love affair with denim on my What I wore Wednesday series and today as part 1 of a two part series, I’m going to show you how I like to wear jeans for an everyday look.

This is a pretty casual look, but if you’re looking to tone it down a notch {but whyyyyyyyy?} you could swap the nude heels for a pair of converse or ballet flats.  And if you’re jewelry averse {I’m a bit of jewelry whore, I wear this much on a daily basis}, you could always take off all the bangles and big fat statement rings.

I happen to think they make the outfit.

And I don’t even have enough time in the day to tell you how much I love the bright orange/tangerine/coral I’m sporting on my digits.

Here’s a similar look I pieced together:

bohemian top, nude pumps, Levi’s®, messenger bag,

What do you wear every day?  Are you allowed to wear jeans and a tee to your office or is it more of a buttoned up dress code?  I’m really curious how many of you are allowed to wear something as casual as jeans and a t-shirt to work.  Spill!
