Let me tell you...it's too early for this.

THIS = figuring out what to wear the morning of work + keeping it somewhat stylish + making my face somewhat cute + taking pictures, while still trying to wake up.

But I did it. Albeit at 5am.

I work in a very casual office - a techy start-upish spot - where many of the early 20-somethings rock jeans, tees and flip flops (even in the winter time), and we have to send an email out to "dress up a little" (meaning, maybe jeans and polo shirts) when clients come into the office. I kinda fall into the "executive" category, I guess (praying for "executive" pay to go along with it...but that's neither here nor there), as the Marketing lead at the firm. Again, I like to dress the part - I feel like I work better - so jeans and flip flops just doesn't cut it for me. But I definitely don't want to over do it (although sometimes I will overdo it with the full business suits, heels and briefcase, just because...).

Hence, this morning's getup: A simple, preppy look. And I even threw in a cute thrifted necklace to go along with it.
