It’s been hard to do lookbook outfits of what I wear to work since I now work from home or when I do go into an office I’m away at the client site and I don’t have the time (or my husband) to take my picture! My biggest thing this year though was to incorporate all of my “main” wardrobe into my “work” wardrobe. I used to have separate things of stuff I’d only wear to work and it never made it into my regular wardrobe. I wanted to do a better job of incorporating what I’d normally wear into what I’d wear to the office as well. Work pants were the hardest thing to do because no one really wears dress pants on a normal basis (well, at least I don’t). But I also got to the point of being annoyed with all of my dress pants as they became to be either too wide legged, too flared or just not right. Don’t ask me how but they just all of a sudden looked weird on me. I went on a quest to find slim black pants that would look appropriate both in and out of the office. I tried on a lot of pants and it took a bit but I finally found them!
P.S. My adorable friend Kimmie recently started her very own fashion blog and I’m SO excited as I’ve had so many of my friends mention that they want to start their own blogs but she’s the first one that did it! I am so happy to have her join the blogging community and hope you guys check out her blog too! She’s a new-ish mommy to the most adorable little boy and she’s determined to be a cute fashionable mommy and is doing a great job! Go check her out at Blue Paper Lanterns!

You look fabulous, I got rid of all of my work pants, I purged them all months ago. They all looked weird too. I found a few skinny pairs at Zara and LOFT, but they aren't my favorites.
I would love to find a pair of high-wasted trousers.
I love this outfit, it's so Betsey Johnson esque! I love how you paired fuschia with zebra prints. I am definitely going to look into a pair of those pumps, the removable bow + the height of those babies are calling out to me!
Love, love, love this outfit! Simple yet so stylish and the shoes are amazing!!! I haven't seen very many photos of you with your hair pulled back but I think it looks quite nice. You should wear it like that more often! 🙂
I love your Miu Mius! They are such a pretty shade of pink. I also have the problem of buying things that I'll never wear to work. I'm in a sort of transitional stage where I'm trying to mesh the two together a little more.
Oh I LOVE this outfit on you Tiffany! I only saw that cardi w/green zipper. This pink one is such a fun pop – esp with your heels! And I love the way the stripes mimic the metal doors of your background! I know what you mean about transitioning wardrobes. When I used to work in a more corporate environment it was all much more structured and boot cut or wider legged pants. I ended up selling a lot of work clothes on ebay since I never had to wear them anymore. I kept a couple nice pieces but they're still just hanging there. Those black pants are great though! Work appropriate and cute to wear out!
I love the pop of pink and the vintage-look jewelry! I am a cardigan and boyfriend sweater girl through-and-through, and yours from Anthropologie has captured my heart; I'm smitten! Thanks for sharing! : )
floweringwilderness – yes, dachshunds are the cutest! 🙂 I thought about Savvy making an appearance on my next video 🙂 We'll see if she'll cooperate with the camera. LOL!
simply gorgeous! I too (almost) never incorporate work wardrobe to daily outfit. Love how the shoes matches the jacket without being pink top and toe =)!
OMG YOU HAVE DACHSHUNDS?! I love those dogs. I had one growing up, now my parent's rescued 2 and my sister has one. I really want one but have been putting off getting a dog but when I do it will definitely be a doxie 🙂
