..Pencil Skirts on the Weekend
August 27, 2013 • Firmoo J.Crew Outfit Post pencil skirt Steve Madden Stripes
The deets: J.Crew pencil and chambray; sunnies c/o Firmoo; Steve Madden wedges (now on super sale!); vintage necklace; South Moon Under earrings; Piperlime clutch; Michael Kors watch; Lancome "Midnight Rose" lipstick.
I have amassed a pretty extensive collection of pencils skirts in the five years that I have been in the workforce. They are brightly colored, printed, and striped. They are not, however, very useful outside of the M-F workday, so after seeing J.Crew (me favs!) put out an absolutely fabulous e-mail ad about wearing them on the weekend, I decided to give it a shot. It actually didn't feel as work-y as I thought! I ran my errands on my day off in perfectly normal pencil skirt style. What do you guys think? Should we let our work clothes out on weekends or no? I say yes as it helps to justify my future purchases (wink wink).

So, I have to admit that unlike some of you lucky ladies and gents out there, I do not have a glamorous job. I sit in a cube in front of a computer and run reports, send "give us our money" emails to investors, and mostly just make long lists of tedious mindless work that needs to get done just to experience a tiny bit of joy when I get to cross it off in my pink pen. You know what makes my day even ickier? Wearing something that I don't feel pretty in. Which brings me to my main point. It may sound a teeny bit crazy, but I can honestly say that when I am wearing something bright and feminine that I feel like myself in, my whole day really is better. Happy outfits make for happy employees, happy employees make for a happy workplace, a happy workplace makes for higher quality output so basically the equation comes out to the following:
It may not be what I want to be wearing if stuck in an elevator with my boss's boss's boss, but it's a risk worth taking to make my life a bit more enjoyable, so suck it boring conservative color-wheel! Oh yes I went there.
1 cute outfit + 1 Erin + 1 workday = MORE PRODUCTIVITY! (or something like that).
