Polka Dots and Pink
27 Aug
Shirt – Old Navy | Skirt – New York & Co | Shoes – Target | Necklace – JF&A Expo
It was rough getting out of bed this morning. I had a great weekend hanging out with a ton of bloggers (too many to list!), running a 5K race, talking about books and blogging, drinking too much wine, and trying a new restaurant with my family.
So I put on my pink skirt and a new top from Old Navy to brighten up my day. I’ve been wanting to wear chambray with this pink skirt for awhile and my new polka dot chambray shirt seemed like the perfect addition. A little playful, a little classic, a little dressy and a little casual. Perfect for what we consider in my office to be the last week of summer.
How did you spend your weekend?

Here are my takes on four different ways you can make your maxi skirt work for the office.
Cat prints can be worn to the office when you keep them simple and sophisticated. Here are six options.
This week is Bike to Work Week in Chicago and since I only live 1.5 miles from my office I do occasionally bike there. 
The great thing about a denim or jean jacket is that you can find one at literally every price point. 
Sometimes you see an outfit on someone and you think, “That works, but I don’t know why.” 
Love this shirt!
Thanks! It was kind of an impulse buy but I’m looking forward to finding more ways to wear it.
I have that shirt and a very similar skirt. Might need to recreate this! Love the look.

I actually thought of you this morning when I put it on! I thought, “This is a very ‘Creamy’ outfit.”
I think wearing bright colors is the perfect way to start out a week! I wore the pink blazer that you gave me to work last Monday… for the same reason
Pink is a nice pick-me-up on a Monday morning when you really don’t want to get dressed up.
Love the skirt! I wore bright yellow today to brighten my day a well.
Yay for bright Mondays!
You look so cute, Erin! It was great officially meeting you this weekend! Let’s do it again soon!

Thanks! I had fun at the race and would love to hang out again!
Wow, you did have a busy weekend, kudos to you for running a 5k! (I keep saying I’m going to, but then I chicken out!) I love this outfit, you’re giving me great ideas for how to style this shirt. (I really like your professional take on it, it looks adorable and a fun kind of classy with the pink pencil skirt.)
Adding a chambray shirt to a pencil skirt really seems to up its professional level, doesn’t it?
As for running, you should check out my running blog! The prior URL is http://www.eri-thon.blogspot.com but I just started posting at http://www.chicagonow.com/eri-thon as well.

Thanks! And thanks for letting me know about your giveaway.
I’m in love with your polka dot chambray shirt! So cute and totally versatile.
So, I’m nosey – are you in some sort of bloggy book club? Your, “talking about books and blogging” comment has me VERY curious.
I was recently invited to a Chicago Healthy Living Blogger bookclub event. I’m actually hosting the next one. I’ll send you the invite
I love this outfit. It’s so cute!
Thanks!
