working girl

As relaxed as a work environment can be in the advertising industry, I still like to step it up from time to time. Dark jeans and flowy silk blouses typically make up my work-week wardrobe, but pieces like this make me want to go the extra mile. I scored this beautiful olive dress at Macy's right before I came to New York and love how easily it transitions from a work look into a happy hour look.

For every day, I'm usually toting an enormous bag to work to fit all of my essentials, but just swapping it for a clutch takes the look from day to night.

This first weekend back in New York has been a complete whirlwind. Between events to attend, meeting new people and general settling in, I haven't really had much of a chance to breathe. As if I wasn't already lacking some oxygen, I arrive to my first day of work on Madison Avenue today and see this breathtaking view from my office. Yes, that is the Empire State Building. No, I can't believe it either.

Greetings from the Big Apple! More soon :)
