Black and Brown: Trench, Printed Dress, Marc Jacobs Fran | Red Knit, Jeans, Converse, Alexander Wang Rocco

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:

BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


I usually pick my clothes out the night before so I have a little bit of time to plan what I'm wearing. But on Tuesday night I stayed online quite late helping out at Church Online. It was busy and fun, but I was so tired when it was done. Just grabbed some nice easy pieces - can't go wrong with a printed dress - and the same bag I had the day before. Meant there was more time for sleep, even if you're not supposed to pair black and brown together!

The video at Church Online this week is a really moving one, answering the question "what can I do to help?" for the survivors of disasters, and the tornado in Oklahoma. Please check it out online if you have the time.


Last worn: brown jacket, French Connection printed dress, patent flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

There have been a lot of celebrations at work recently after the success of our project, today was another with a casual dress day for a team event in the afternoon. We were warned there would be a lot of paint around, so I wore my washable converse shoes, jeans and a knit. I thought it balanced the line well between casual clothes you wouldn't mind getting paint splashed on and casual clothes for a free dress day in the office!

  3. Love that dress and jacket combination Mica. Fabulous earthy tones. Your second outfit is so much fun. I love that red and your sneakers. Very nice. Your work, although demanding sounds like fun too.

  7. I never thought to try an outfit dominated by brown as opposed to black. Hmmm...maybe I'll see if I can pull that off. Thanks for the inspo! Oh and the Rocco bag? LOVE.
