It’s been a crazy weekend filled with lots of rain. I was supposed to shoot on Saturday with my photographer (my dad is my main photographer, but I also shoot with Akamie), but it ended up pouring so I didn’t even leave my house! Then yesterday, my dad and I were able to get in three outfits in before it started raining again. That’s Miami summer for you!

I wore this outfit (except with the white-colored blouse instead of nude) to attend a meeting on Thursday and got a lot of comments on the pants, so I decided to do a post! I recently picked up these pants and, for only $38, they are so great! I’m wearing a size small and they’re perfect (for reference, I’m a size 27 in jeans). I needed a nice pair of black pants that I could pair with different tops for blog meetings, work and everyday. I’m even considering getting a second pair just so I have a backup pair in case anything happens to these! These are great for casual workwear, too.

Since I love nude and black combined, I wore this nude blouse that I have in about… 6 colors now. It really is the best! It can be dressed up or down and is great for the workplace with a cardigan or blazer thrown over it. And it’s under $30!

Oh, and have you noticed my new shoes?! These are my latest obsession! I have flat feet so if a sandal has a little heel, it really helps out with any back or foot pain. I love the gold detailing and how comfortable these are. I’m going to have them on repeat and, knowing me, I’ll be getting them in black too! These are also a great pair of shoes for the workplace because they’re classic, appropriate and comfortable if you have to stand up for a while. They also look adorable with boyfriend jeans or shorts!

How do you like to dress up for work? Do you work in a more business-casual environment or a more dressed-up workplace? I would love to hear!

Thanks so much for reading and have a great Monday! PS. Thanks so much to everyone who has asked me questions for the Q&A I will be posting this week on the blog. I posted on Instagram and Facebook, but if you have any questions at all that you’d like me to answer, blog-related or not, email me or write them in the comments below! Also… I’m really excited to be doing a couple of lifestyle posts this week. XO
