Modern Classics

Similar Button Downs: (1), (2), (3) // Pants // Heels c/o // Similar Handbag // Earrings c/o // Statement Rings

Sometimes you just need to shake up your wardrobe. I've been trying out different ways of wearing existing pieces lately, and really love the idea of wearing a classic button down dress shirt backwards. The embellishment on this shirt just makes it even better for this!

You all know that I am OBSESSIVE when it comes to my work footwear. (Remember my post on the best heels for work?) Well these Sole Society pumps have quickly become a favorite. I wore them for a 3 hour shopping trip with a friend a few weeks back and they never hurt! We probably walked a couple miles and my feet still felt fine. *amazing*. I love that the strap detailing gives more intrigue than a 'boring' work pump, but still looks entirely classic and professional. Shoe win.

I hope you all had a good weekend! I had such an amazing dance class on Saturday & squeezed in a fair amount of relaxation and time with the people most important to me, so my weekend was pretty darn great.

See you all back here on Wednesday! And if you need a Monday morning pick me up, go check out the picture I just posted on instagram. *heart melts* Have a great day!

Feeling British

Similar Blazers: (1), (2), (3) // Sweater // Similar Skirt // Heels // Earrings c/o

I have a serious love for elbow patches.This amazing blazer combined with the plaid pencil skirt made me feel oh-so-British, and I could not have been happier! Maybe it's all the Downton Abbey I've been watching lately? All I know is I am craving everything that reminds me of the British countryside. In the cooler weather I often wear my work pencil skirts with a sweater & a blazer for added warmth. You still look polished and professional, but are quite cozy!

I hope you all have had a good work week! It was a weird one for me - with courts closed on Wednesday for Remembrance Day and a lot of client meetings as opposed to actual court work. I did get to spend a LOT of time this week on the blog and other blog-related undertakings though, and I can't wait for the next 2 months of LegalLee Blonde! I have some really cool companies to introduce you to and some really fun posts. This Monday's post is particularly exciting so I hope to see you back here then!

In the meantime, have a great weekend everyone!

Office Chic

  

Similar Tops: (1), (2), (3) // Pants // Earrings c/o //
Handbag // Heels

 A popular trend in women's office wear this season has been the introduction of 'office track pants'. This outfit is my take on how to best style them for work. I don't think they work as well with a structured blazer due to their relaxed fit, but I think they can be an appropriate choice for the office (and a comfortable one!) when paired with a fitted top.

 
I also must mention these gorgeous earrings from Happiness Boutique. I adore their statement necklaces and earrings! I was very pleased with the quality when I received these (so far they haven't tarnished at all and they don't give my ears that itchy feeling!) I would definitely recommend this online boutique!

To all my Canadian readers - happy thanksgiving!! I hope you have a day full of relaxation, family and food! I am attending a big potluck thanksgiving dinner at a friend's place tonight and cannot wait for it! I feel very thankful to have a diverse and pretty darn awesome group of friends.
