currently (and probably for quite awhile) i fall under the category of "creative young professional" meaning that i work in an artsy-ish field with a business casual dress code.  i have worked in offices with a wide variety of interpretations of business casual, from flip flops to suit separates to dressing like a real live construction worker.  i tend to fall somewhere in the middle of these options because my duties are well, somewhere in the middle.  whenever i write a description of this little blog i write about how to make dressing "business casual" more fantastic.  by this i mean putting some personality into workfits (work outfits) and not sticking to some preconceived notion of what grownups (or professionals) dress like.  so, this is the beginning of a series i will be doing called creative young professional (yup, super exciting name) in which i break down a workfit into those three components.  


ok, so today's outfit:
creative: the rust and turquoise color combination is a bit unconventional, but i've tried it before and really liked it.
young: this dress is basically a giant wool sweater
professional: the neutral belt and shoes turn the sweater into legitimate work dress (whereas beltless and with bunny slippers it veers in the other direction)
