Mom Jeans & Celine

Currently Listening to: Grapevine Fires- Death Cab for Cutie; It's hard for me to imagine that I'll ever get tired of listening to this song. Check out the link, hopefully you'll like it as much as I do!

Running along with the whole business professional theme, I have to dress business casual for most of this week and I'm guessing at least a few more times in the weeks that follow.

This is what I wore today,

Sorry for the great photo quality and amazing scenery. I'm using my friend's macbook's photobooth and the setting is my apartment style dorm room. Specs on the outfit are that the pants were my mother's in her glory days: fine tan linen with a slight tapering at the bottoms (yes!). The blouse is a sheer navy with a leaf print on it-- I know it's hard to see, but you'll probably see it again sometime later. To top off the look, I borrowed one of my roommate's brown leather heels.

As I'm a moderately tall person (5'7.5"), the only shortcoming of these trousers are that they're my mother's length, a woman who is 3 inches shorter than me. Personally, it didn't bother me at all, but apparently one of the guys here thought it was necessary to point out that I looked like I was wearing mom jeans. Thanks for that? First of all--they're trousers, not denim. Second, I felt comfortable in what I was wearing, so it really doesn't matter. Moral of the story: never feel discouraged when a guy wearing black from head to toe and a violently purple tie tells you you look outdated. Or anyone for that matter, I know sometimes you can get funny looks at the grocery store (depending on where you live), but I hope none of you get discouraged from taking a risk when a tact-less peer or concerned grandma buying a bag of Famous Amos decides to voice their opinion.

Anyways, my internship (It's a pre-medical internship btw, not biology) from here on out should become a lot less stressful now that we've completed our first taste of medical school level anatomy, so I've decided to start blogging about my style ventures into the business professional world alongside what I wish I was wearing instead.

So today I wish I was wearing this lovely piece by Celine from their 2011 Resort Collection. Sleek and simple and well put together. This entire collection pretty much follows those guidelines with lots of color blocking, brights, and subtle accessories. I strongly recommend you check out the collection here.

Well I really must be going now to study some more, but I will sincerely try to update this more and more and not leave Rockie all to her lonesome!

'Till Next Time,
