What to Wear to Work

 

I recently started my third year of medical school and that means we are finally in clinical rotations. I am on my family medicine rotation, which means I get to wear business casual and cute outfits instead of scrubs. I am probably the only medical student excited about getting to dress up and not having to wear scrubs every day. I did some shopping before I started rotations to add some more pieces to my wardrobe and have been sharing my looks every day I am in clinic. 

I put together this little capsule of work wardrobe inspiration with great basics to mix and match and pieces I have been loving for my clinic wardrobe. I love having basic pieces to put together outfits and style different ways. I think they are so versatile and pieces you keep in your closet forever- like a white button up will never go out of style! It is fun to add your own personality to basics too- the other day I wore the navy pants and striped sweater t-shirt and tied a sweater around my shoulders but could have worn the sweater over it or popped a lady jacket over it or wore a button up under it. One great basic has so many possibilities. Save this one to refer back to when you are building your work wardrobe or if you went back to the office and need inspo!

Striped Lady Jacket | Camel Lady Jacket | Striped Dress | White Button up | Striped Button up

Black Dress | Cream Sweater T-shirt | Navy Striped Sweater T-shirt | Navy dress

Blue Button up | Short Black Sheath Dress | Blue Sweater T-shirt 

Black Pants | Black Striped Sweater T-shirt | Striped Shirt | Navy Pants

Cap-toe Pumps | Flats 


A few tips to lessen the outfit anxiety during the week:

-pick out outfits on Sunday and take pictures of them to reference during the week

-pick out an extra 1-2 outfits to have some flexibility but do not have to stress about finding something else in the morning when you are frantically getting ready

-I bought a garment rack to hang weekly outfit options on so I can have them all in on place and can see them

Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic

  Who else has been loving the  Coastal Grandmother aesthetic trend on TikTok? I've been very engrossed in this trend that is actually not at all trendy and a nod to classic style, which I LOVE. Classic summer style is one of my favorite facets of classic style- linen dresses and pants, sun hats, walks on the beach and lots of rosé. This is literally me. And I consider myself a grandmillennial, so coastal grandmother is not too far off. Some may call it coast-grand-millennial ;) ALSO, a couple of weeks ago the Today Show did a segment on the trend, and featured a clip from one of my coastal gran TikToks! These are things you need to create your own coastal grandmother aesthetic, the coastal grandmother starter kit if you will. You probably have most of these things in your closet if you are a fellow classic style lover, like myself. So lets all live our lives as if we lived in a Nancy Meyers movie, and have the best coastal grandmother girl summer. Coast Grandmother Essentials...

What I Packed for Rhode Island

  I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult. As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new ap...

New Summer KJP (+ they're having a sale!!)

So today, I got the happiest email from Kiel James Patrick , featuring some super cute new pieces, and that they have a 4th of July sale!! The sale is 20% off any thing with the code America . I would definitely take advantage of this! Here are my favorite new things from KJP. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!! Striped shirt dress // I had all the feels when I saw this dress. First, it is striped AND a shirt dress! Second, it is actually named "Bristol Parade." That is the oldest 4th of July Parade in the country, and I had the privilege of marching in it during my high school marching band trip to New England in 2010 (omg that was 9 years ago?!?). That day it was about 110 degrees, and we wore all black uniforms....if you are familiar with the parade, it is a LONG LONG LONG route, and I somehow, barely survived. So, I think I need this dress for (just about) surviving that day, ahah! Flag sweater  // What a cute little flag sweater! I normally am not one ...
