10-11-2026 MY WEEK: back to work looks

we're back on the regular program, and jetlagged, i returned back to work, juggling my schedule around, and most importantly, prepping for halloween parties. i went thrifting with sib to get material for decorating my office door, and obviously, we stumbled upon some cute clothes!

check out this style my haul:

thrifted fashion nova newspaper print bodysuit

derek heart black and white marine cardigan

poncho/shawl

old navy phthalo green cardigan

we also thrifted mystery jewelry packs for a project i'm doing for my wedding, so i took the opportunity to upcycle some necklaces:








pumpkin picking season was officially open this weekend and we had a blast taking photos, walking trails and corn mazes, and enjoying fall delights like jalapeno cheddar kettle corn, salted caramel donuts, and pumpkin cappuccinos.  


this week's looks

this week was dictated by the teen magazine ok! i bought during my week trip to croatia. the article "how to survive a week with style" is a back-to-school guide for each day of the week. "here's some style ideas for your fashion notebook so that you can be cool at your desk..."
the looks were very simple and actually perfect for getting back on my feet after a week of being in europe. especially since i just did a season swap and pulled all my fall clothes out. this saved me the hassle of readjusting back to my midwest closet.




















monday i wore a bright red blouse, instead of sweater, a denim maxi skirt, loafers, and instead of the suggested backpack, i chose this leather crossbody. i don't own red earrings so i chose my trusty hoops. 





















tuesday. i biked to work so i needed an extra layer on top of the given tee and blazer, opting for my red leather bomber jacket. i chose my slip-on loafers instead of flats, and instead of yellow backpack, my usual handy "biking" backpack.



wednesday.  i chose my brooch blazer for the extra pop of color, and instead of grey sweatpants, chose charcoal cargo pants. slingback flats, and a black kate spade tote with green hedgehogs.


















thursday  i wore a white old navy ribbed top, indigo/grey pants, converse, and gold tote bag with my aviator jacket. charm bracelet from pandora.














went to yoga thursday night and i wore my asia express approved pants, yoga top, tan cardigan to match my uggs and my beaded and knit tote bag. 


















friday morning sib and i took a brisk walk before work and i opted for all black layers. old navy waffle knit top, baggy sweatpants, and a thick jacket, converse and small hoops. 






 








friday work. i followed ok! formula for friday, wearing baggy jeans, a white tee, red jacket, my walking sneakers, a black leather belt with gold plated hardware, small hoops and my vlajternativa tote.

















saturday's pumpkin patch look. i wore my current fave set from pull and bear, uggs, ralph lauren aviator jacket and calvin klein leather shoulder bag. versace sunnies borrowed from sib and funky jewelry. 


















ok! added an extra idea for the weekend which i used as an opportunity for church then thrifting. my warhol tee was paired with black denim pants, and a yellow raincoat. i did not wear my bucket hat, and i opted for my gazelles, and a leather calvin klein purse.









what am i looking forward to next week?

it's fiancé's birthday next week so the blog will be all about him! i can't wait to celebrate with him.
