Comfy Casual

When wandering into my closet during my latest bout of unemployment, I would always joke with Mike and say, "What if I end up at a job that's super casual? What will I do with all these work dresses?!" And guess what? I got a great job....but it's at a super casual office. And I mean casual, like shorts and flip flops casual.

Well, balls.

Most people would probably really like the opportunity to be super casual at work. But not this guy. I just really really hate wearing pants and shorts. Like a lot. Maybe it's because I'm too fat for pants. MAYBE. But that's a whole different blog post...

I'm trying to embrace my new work environment and figure out how to still feel cute and like myself when not wearing heels and a dressier dress or skirt. Also, I wore pants THREE times this week. (And I was miserable my entire commute, thank you) (hashtag stop poking my fat roll, pants) So here is some outfit inspiration for how to keep cute and stylish in my new casual life.

  1. Girl. I am totally with you. I work in the arts, so it's totally okay for me to wear jeans (plus a nice top, but still) unless I have a meeting with a donor - BUT I LOVE MY WORK DRESSES! I think I'm meant for corporate America with my preferred dress code... haha

    1. Me too! I haven't brought myself to actually wear shorts yet and I change out of my sandals after my walk (I have a 15 minute walk after my bus ride). I just can't wear shorts to work, can't!!
