Packed

I’m counting the days until our trip.  I know that most people are heading to warmer climates, but I’m psyched for our chilly adventure!

Weekend

Weekend by missmalone

Thank God it’s the weekend!  The past few weeks have been a slog and I’m really looking forward to not wearing work clothes, a glass of wine and a good book.  Also, I’m nerding out and going to a puppy festival on Sunday.  Puppies + Costumes = Amazing.

Work Appropriate?

Work Appropriate? by missmalone featuring stretch pants

So there’s no doubt that, with the turtleneck, this outfit is completely work appropriate.  But what about with the black, silk tank?  My organization is fine with bare arms, but does it look too much like a date outfit?  Maybe I should play it safe and bring a cardigan…

Work

Is this an outfit?  Does it work?  When it come to office wear, I lose my fashion compass.  I work at a somewhat conservative organization.   But the idea of wearing the type of clothes that I hate in order to blend in is just depressing.  How do you stay work appropriate while remaining true to your sense of style?

Travel Light

I’ve had a lot of event travel (weddings, benefits, conferences, etc.) lately and I finally feel that I’ve got a handle on packing for this type of thing.  Usually I blow it by packing way too many shoes.  Two is my hard limit now.  I’m a reformed woman.  Two pairs of shoes, a two color palate and just a sprinkling of jewelry.

Puppy

1. /2. /3. /4. /5. /6.

It’s been a strange couple of weeks here, but in lighter news we got a puppy!  I’m trying not to get too carried away with the puppy stuff, but it’s difficult.

 

Baking Day

1. /2. /3. /4. /5. /6. /7. /8. /9.

Some days you wake up and you just know that it’s a baking day.  I don’t know if it’s the temperature or something in the air, but I know that I won’t get through today without a quick batch of madeleines or some scones.

Packing List

My San Francisco and Sonoma trip is part work and part play.  And, as I mentioned yesterday, the weather has potential to be all over the place.  So I’m trying to pack wisely, but also lightly.  Here’s what I’ve got so far.  I love a good packing list!
