Happy Monday everyone!

As you read this, I will be sipping processed coffee, pretzels and high sodium crackers on the plane.  I’m on my way to one of my favorite cities, Boston, for business for the entire week.  I absolutely LOVE Boston; their architecture is breathtaking!  It will be a tough trip for me because I will be leaving my kids and hubby for the entire week.

Over the weekend, I have been running like a chicken with its head cut off; prepping an entire week of food for the boys while I’m away, running last minute errands and packing for my trip.  I work from home so I’ve been conditioned to wear anything (including PJs at times) while working because I rarely interact in a professional setting in person.

This trip calls for business casual but in a very very conservative way, which means it puts a pedal on my current wardrobe.  But I refused to spend more money to buy clothes that I would only wear once or twice a year.  Luckily, there are some staple pieces in my closet that I can still re-introduce to the working world.  This cotton shirt and crisp white cotton blazers meet the criteria.  I will be bringing these pieces with me so that I can look stylish while maintaining a professional image.

I will be extremely busy with work but will do my best to do some site seeing (mostly at night) so that I can share with you.  Also, the typical posts are slated to appear as usual during the week for you to enjoy 🙂

  2. I am gushing over this entire outfit!! All the little details are great- the effortless look of the pushed up sleeves, the stacked necklace, and then BAM you hit me with the shoes! Needless to say, you’ve been pinned!
    Have a great week! it’s hard being gone and getting prepped beforehand! Stay rested!!

  3. I like the chose of colours you have in the outfit, even down to your nail polish. I love blazers as you can wear them in the day or evening and white is perfect for colour. I also am slightly fascinated by your necklace as its really unusual and layered. I am from three-fer linky. I am following you on bloglovin. I will leave my link as I would love it if you followed me too. Please no pressure though as I know some bloggers find this annoying.
