I just want to be clear that I’m not always prancing around, leaping, jumping, and hula hooping in New York City. To support my weird hobbies and somewhat productive lifestyle, I actually have a full-time job. Surprise! My style at work varies because it’s a moderately laid-back environment. It’s not corporate so I can include different trends and things I love with my day-to-day work wardrobe.
I love buying dresses that can be worn though different seasons. I’m loving all the clean-cut Ellen Tracy dresses I purchased through ideeli.com just for that reason. They can be classy, but can be worn differently depending on your style.
Last Wednesday I had several meetings around town, so I chose this royal (electric) blue Ellen Tracy dress, and paired it with fun (but subtle) Steve Madden, animal print shoes. You wouldn’t believe it if I told you, but those shoes along with two other pairs were purchased for a grand total of $35 during Daffy’s last business day blowout sale. I almost felt like I robbed them, but you guys should know by now that I love a good bargain! I can’t admit it enough - I am a thrifty shopper, and I am very thrifty shopper. The only thing that saddened me from that experience was that the people working there would be unemployed the day after. That left a bittersweet taste in my mouth.
What do you wear to work? Share!

I’m sure many heads were turning! Blue is definitely one of your colors and wow, what a steal on those shoes!
What do I wear to work? Usually styles from the coast of Colombia. Chevignon, Americanino, etc. just to be different here. Fortunately, even being corporate, they allow a relaxed style here in my IT department of geeks lol. Continue blessed my friend
Ahh! Thank you so much. I love that electric blue. Ever since I went to Tyler’s brother’s wedding, and they left me a sari this color, I’ve started to add it more and more to my wardrobe. It’s cool that you can wear whatever you want. I love relaxed work environments!
Beautiful outfit!
Thank you, beautiful! I just love your daughter so much! Haha.
Aww thank you! I seriously love your blog, your posts are so interesting and I love the photos and styling
those shoes are hawt! and Sarita takes great shots!
She read the comment and started saying that she was going to start charge me. Thank you! <3
You are very pretty. Not pretty. That word does not match so well. I would say “attractive and charismatic”. Love you blog. So, I noticed you have studied French litterature. Do you speak french ? (I’m a french woman ^_^)

Thank you very much. I appreciate your kind words. J’ai étudié la littérature française à l’Université. Je parle couramment. J’ai lu les oeuvres de Voltaire, Camus, etc.
Lovely! That color blue is amazing! I’ve started putting blouses under some of my sheath dresses for fall. It’s a fun way to play with color/pattern/texture even with a solid dress and it’s alternative to my standard mo of wearing cardigans over them. Blazers always seem a bit too dressy around campus. I’m stuck in flats all fall (doctors orders) so I’m wearing a lot of knee-high riding boots too. Thank goodness for casual work environments!
I love the whole knee-high riding boots look! And the combination of dress and blouses sounds awesome. I’m sorry to hear you’re not well. I hope you get better soon.
Love the shoes. You look very stylish in your work outfit. Wow!
