A Week in the Corporate World

This was the first week at my new job. I work for a publicly traded technology corporation in Boise. I assist the VP of Finance and also work in Market Research. Despite the fancy-pants company, they are surprisingly relaxed about what you wear to work. Jeans are accepted, although I did not wear jean my first week on the job, but I am contemplating them for next Friday.

I started the week with more sophisticated black and white pieces, classic. As the week progressed and I got to see how relaxed other people's looks were I added more color to my attire. You might also notice as the week progressed my hair ended up pulled back from Day 3 on haha This first week really took it out of me and I started getting a cold again, so pretty hair was not exactly at the top of my list ;-)

Here's a recap of my wardrobe for the week and my first real "adult" job:


Day 1: Orientation
Pardon the "selfie," my usual photographer/husband was not around to help with fashion photos this day :-)

I wrapped one of my faux pearl bracelets around my ponytail to add some classto the look

So far so good. I am starting to get the hang of things at work, but I still have a *ton* to learn. I've been decorating my cubicle, adding a few pictures here and there. It's a work in progress. Enjoy the weekend bombshells!!!
