I adore today's guest blogger so ridiculously much. We had the opportunity of working together in Chicago and through many lunch and Argo Tea dates, we found ourselves with a much cherished friendship. I have always looked up to her in so many ways. Her passion for creativity and thinking outside of the box has exercised my own thinking. This girl is incredible, i tell ya!

Hello Much Love Illy Friends!! I
love how Ilene connects and encourages us all to be more creative . . . and
brightly colorful!
(Any girl who can rock neon green
tights as well as Ilene automatically has my respect.)
Thanks for letting me stop by
today!
In my little corner of the world
I’m often fascinated by those incredibly small, everyday moments that are rich
in inspiration, which is why I’m learning to blog
and creatively arrange life over at SuLu. By day, I work in communications
with the crazy and eclectic CreatePossible team and our wonderful clients. All other hours I’m hanging with
my younger sis who recently moved to Chicago, enjoying relationships with some
incredible high school gals, and showing some major TLC to a
1940’s Cape Cod home that my husband I
recently purchased. My life is fueled by soy hot
chocolate from Starbucks, but I also enjoy the s-l-o-w moments life brings. I also love taking flying leaps
into dangerous change.
Like today. Because this is what happens when
a communications nerd tries to be a fashion blogger!
When I started my first job I
remember thinking how b-o-r-i-n-g “practical and professional” clothes seemed. If you’re a fellow 9-to-5 person,
maybe you can relate! My friends and I laughed and learned through this
book as we attempted to move past the
college sweatpants funk into something semi-presentable that wasn’t old and
boring.
Now, I lean towards simple and classic pieces that have a bit of a modern twist.
For this fall, I’m particularly
smitten with the emerald green that’s popping up everywhere,
as well as the wide selection of
blazers!! Yes! Finally . . . no more horribly tailored and colorless jackets.
(I might push it a bit and add
spiky heels.)
For a while, I felt really limited by the day job because I worried about breaking the rules
or what others thought which prevented
me from wearing things that I loved.
But I’m glad others showed me that
there is a happy medium!!
You can always incorporate small
trends (like colors or jewelry) into what you wear.
(And seriously . . . don’t miss
out on the affordable blazers options
at Forever 21 this fall!)
Can’t wait to see what you’re wearing.
(And thanks for letting this nerd
be a fashion blogger today!)
Be Well,
