Ruffles & Pleats

 Similar Top // Skirt c/o // Heels // Similar Handbags (1), (2), (3) // Necklace // Statement Ring // Midi Rings

The combination of ruffles & pleats is so feminine; I cannot stop wearing this effortless spring work look! This dark green skirt is such a pretty color and it works so well paired with crisp white & rose gold!

The weather here has been so beautiful lately; perfect for wearing midi skirts to work. While I am primarily a pants girl (you may have noticed my love for skinny work pants here, here & here haha) it is nice to add something different to my work wardrobe. Do you wear midi skirts to work?

I cannot wait for this weekend! I've got a ton of fun things planned including attending a launch party with a fellow fashion blogger (follow along on instagram for details!), a backyard BBQ and a Sunday morning girls brunch.

Bright Clothes & Life Changes

Blouse: H&M 

Midi Skirt: ASOS 

Handbag: Call it Spring (under $30!!!) 

Heels: Old. Similar: here (under $40!) and here

Happy Monday everyone! I am loving the combination of bright mint, bright yellow, and pale blue for spring! This outfit just makes me happy - and with so many sales right now you can get the entire look for like $100!!!

For those of you who follow me regularly, you may have noticed some radio-silence when it comes to my job. Well, that is because things have been in flux for me. I finished my contract as a Crown Prosecutor at the end of January and have been spending a lot of time trying to figure out my next steps. It was incredibly hard for me to not be working as a lawyer (even though it was only a few weeks) as I really do truly love criminal law. Today however, I am pleased to announce that I am officially set up now as a criminal defense lawyer. I'm completely my own boss (working as a sole practitioner) but I am working in tandem with two other lawyers who I am excited to learn from!

This has been a pretty crazy transition for me, but I have learned a lot. I still think I want to get back into the prosecution side of things eventually, but for now, I am excited (and terrified) for this new adventure. I'm looking forward to the flexibility that being your own boss affords, and I am also eager to sharpen my skills as a zealous advocate for my clients. I'm excited to combine my passion for helping people with the academic side of my brain in order to help people who have been charged with crimes. Cheers to life changes and next steps!
