Suited

 
 There's something about a suit that just makes me feel in charge. Alright, I know this type of "suit" is not for everyone, but I'm diggin' it. Who wants a boring everyday black or navy suit or blazer and skirt combo that everyone else is wearing to the office, a conference, or job interview? Boring. "Why blend in when you were born to stand out?", right?
 

This Jennifer Lopez short suit is from Kohl's and I ended up getting both pieces for under $35. Can't beat that.

My first instinct was to pair some simple black pumps with this outfit, but I wanted to added just a little more edge so I went with these studded t-strap heels from Sole Society.

 Because the suit is so "loud", I wanted to keep the jewelry to a minimum, so I went with gold ball earrings, a bar necklace, watch, a single ring, and pave link bracelet.

 

This outfit also works perfectly as a "desk to drinks" ensemble. Wear the blazer during the work day, then take it off at five o'clock when it's time to celebrate making it through the day without killing a coworker! Just kidding..

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I went to a barbeque and blues fest downtown on Saturday night with my parents and Jeremy to feast on some pulled pork and ribs. On Sunday, Jeremy and I worked on a table that will be acting as a desk in our office [I'm sure you'll see some of that later] then went to a cook out to celebrate a friend's birthday. Overall, it was a perfect weekend just before starting school today. Fingers crossed that this semester flies by! xx
