Today I'm sharing a work outfit I wore to the office last week. The warm weather in Denver lately meant I could skip tights with this look (which feels completely crazy in February).

The jacket I'm wearing is one of my favorites. Although it can be worn just like a typical black blazer, the tweed fabric, grosgrain trim, and shorter sleeves make it look more interesting and feminine. I've found that three-quarters or bracelet sleeves can be more flattering on a petite frame than full-length sleeves, so quite a few of my jackets have shorter sleeves. I also like how a shorter jacket looks proportionally.

Suits are a mainstay in my work wardrobe, but when I'm not in trial, I wear a lot of separates to the office. The look is a little less formal but allows for more variety in my outfits. Mixing and matching lets me get more use out of my work pieces, and putting together just a couple neutral colors keeps the look appropriately professional.

Hope you had a great weekend--happy Monday!

x, Tam

Happy Monday! I finally got to take some outfit photos this weekend after a week of chilly weather, and I got to do a little lettering practice. Since a few of you asked, I thought I'd share with you a little of what I've been working on. Finding the right supplies has been very helpful, but my technique still needs a lot of work. (For those curious, I created this card with a combination of the Brause Rose nib, the Brause Steno nib, and Yasutomo Liquid Sumi Ink on super-cheap cardstock from Michael's.)
