Business Casual

Well you'd have to work in the coolest office ever in order for this to legitimately be considered "business casual". It was overcast and a little rainy here in Portland (Gee, that's weird) and I thought it would be a good time to bust out an old favorite of mine from those chilly summer days spent in Alaska - Tights with shorts! I think this look, like many other looks, works best with high waist shorts. I never by low rise anything because high waist just makes everything look so much better, and you have a lot more flexibility in how you style your outfit. One of my favorite things about fashion and style is when you have a well balanced outfit. For example, a pretty dress with tough studded boots. Another great way to get the balanced look is to mix some polished pieces, such as my oxfords and black blazer, with some funkier pieces like my tee and ripped shorts.

What are your favorite fashion opposites that you think work really well together?

Matt is getting much better at taking pictures, and is even taking some direction in telling me how to pose! (Even though I don't use many of his goofy ideas.) I thought I'd humor him today though, and post the open jacket photo. The one of my making the "wtf?" face was taken right after he said something ridiculous. Candid shots. Very candid shots. Kodak moments.
