I have been wearing mostly pants to work for the last 3 weeks. Well there were those 2 times that a skirt magically show up. I pleaded the fifth and couldn't or wouldn't take full responsibility for the slip!
However most days I've been a good and responsible work-attire follower. Unfortunately I haven't been able to take many photos. I leave the house early and come back a bit late and have to do many duties and chores before finally get settled in for the evening, and by that time I'm too tired to take any pictures. Also I have not liked many of my work outfits and even though my new co workers tell me that "I dress very nice", I haven't been so pleased with my outfits.
So here are few of the ones that I got to take pictures of and that I felt good and comfortable in as well as followed the job rules...
No Boundaries pants from Target from 7 years ago.
Black shirt also from Target.
Nicole Lee purse.
Turquoise and turquoise-like necklaces and bracelets some are from few years back some are a couple of months old.
Bisou Bisou capris.
Madison Michelle shirt. My old and so comfortable Easy Spirits mary janes.

My Summer job is 15 minutes away from my favorite Salvation Army store; imagine what I being doing every Wednesday (all clothings, shoes and bags are half price) and Friday (75% off of clothings, etc.)????
I'm only able to spend a small amount of money but I still finding great bargains and I'm really enjoying the trill of paying $3.50 for a pair of Gap trousers!!!

you know Ofelia, it's a nice change to wear pants. Every single outfit you put together is fantastic not only the clothing but the way you accessorize. And the bags..... I am a bag addict. I love them all. Why can't you wear a skirt?
BTW, I cannot imagine that you could put together something that is not special and great. You would make a great stylist. Also doing displays for stores. I used to watch the stylists do the stores at Barney's in Manhattan. amazing.
forgot to ask what happens at the Salvation Army store on Wed. & Fri. is that when they put out new merchandise?
A great variety of work looks!

You have some totally awesome clothes and I love your bags. But I wonder about how you store them. Mine are falling around all over my closet. Today I'm going to work on getting everything straight. Bags are the worst to keep straight.
Paula, thank you so much!
The work place rules regarding attire is slacks only.
The are moments when I really don't like what I wore but I got to get out of the door and make it to work.
I used to watch Barney's and Macy's window get dressed up when I lived in NYC. I also took a tour during two winters to just go see all the stores displays and them go eat at 12:00 am. It was amazing.
Paula, the Salvation Army store that I go to has half price of all clothings, shoes and bags on Wednesdays and Fridays is 75% off. I don't know about the other Salvation Army because all of them have different sales days.
Michelle, I tried very hard but its been difficult because my close is mainly skirts.
Judy, you are so right mine are falling on my head all the time as well!
I'm also trying to get some colorful bags or containers that I can store them in a better way.
I so enjoy your posts and all your fabulous outfits. The fact that you like to thrift is an extra bonus!
You wear pants so well, I don't think there's anything you couldn't dress in and not make it your own with your gorgeous smile and talent for accessorising.
The Sally Army rocks! x
really great and classy clothes and you really an accessorizing queen!
Nice outfits.
you look very nice and attractive.
It's hard when you are so busy to catch the light and the relaxation to snap good photos. I like all of these looks, but the last one, the oranges, would be my favorite.
You're very elegant with these trousers outfits ! My favorite is the last one with orange prints, and I love all your accessories, specially the jewelries !

Donna, thanks!
I do love to thrift; its a great way to find some amazing brand or style of clothing that other way I couldn't affort.
Vix, I wore pants for many years when I lived in NYC and San Diego but since I been in warm climate I mainly wear jeans.
I love my Salvation Army as well!
Viaviane, thank you dear!
You are right this clothes are more classic than my usual colorful prints.
Charlotte, thank you so much!
Friko, thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my blog.
Terri, you know exactly what I'm going thru!
I'm so tired when I get home from work that in almost 4 weeks these were the only times that I was able to get into the photo mood
Selenite, I also love the orange just because of the color and I also love those trousers.
Carrier, thanks you so much!
Amazing collection of bags.Love your style: casual, comfortable, chic. All you need is to take more pics!. I'd like to see them.
I promise a post of my closet but first I have to put orden in it!
Hugs. Y.
Yoana, I understand about putting our closet in order!
At the moment mine is a bit of a mess and my bags are overflowing the closet so I have to find a way to keep them in place "pronto".
Ofelia, I think it's understandable that after a hard day of work it's a bit difficult to snap photos. I know I wouldn't be able to do so! I love that you post photos of your work attire! I, for one, have always been curious regarding what fashionista's wear to work! :) I'm with the rest of the commenters, you have some nifty bags! I especially like the Lapis purse in the last photo!
Bella, I usually wear lots of more color to my regular job but I must wear slacks to my summer job.
I'm a purse-a-holic, I know it and I don't think I want to be cure from it!
such a great outfits for job! comfy and yet chic! you look gorgeous, dear!
