My last "day to play" post got great feedback, so I thought I would do another!

I found this Dagne Dover bag and it took my transitioning game to a whole new level. The bag itself is fully optimized to neatly carry all the things you need for work while still looking fabulous enough to join you at the bar after (a severe step up from my usual nylon workbag).

My favorite part about the bag is the compartment designed to hold my shoes a water bottle. But seriously, what a convenient way to tote my switch out flats without them touching everything else in my bag. Plus, my iPad slips in and out easily while the coated canvas material can stand up to a lot which is a must as I get ready for commuting through the Boston winter.

I paired more of my fall palette favorites -- houndstooth and oxblood -- with a classic beige blazer, black tights, and leopard pumps for a more profresh day look (subbing out Tory flats when needed, obvi.) and ditched the blazer and untucked the blouse for a look suitable for Wednesday vino. Easy peasy!

Another Monday after another [not nearly long enough] weekend. I was inspired by the start of the work week to post a professional outfit -- with some super fun, not quite as professional shoes.

These blue suede beauties make this outfit pop, but I'd swap them out for a lower heel and less platform for a board meeting and throw them on for 5 o'clock happy hour instead. However, I think the color is totally appropriate -- check out these office safe options: Splurge / Save

A pencil skirt and heels is one of my favorite classic looks -- it's super feminine and flattering but also has that "I'm a boss lady" air to it as well. This is an oldie but goodie from H&M, one of my favorite places to scoop up work basics to stay current without spending a fortune. 

Also, this top was only $10 on clearance at TJ Maxx -- it was easily a no brainer. 

Happy Monday! Hope you have a fabulous week!
