Feeling Blue at work

T minus 3 days till I am back in the work place and I am already thinking about my first Friday.

I just know the first week will be a big readjustment. Inevitably I won't be able to fall asleep on Sunday night. The rest of the first week I will be in the process of readjusting the sleeping habits that I have developed over the past 9 months which did not necessitate me waking up at 5.30am.

With that in mind I am thinking about jeans, BLUE jeans for casual Fridays. I am not entirely certain that jeans will be allowed on Fridays at my new job so for now I am just getting excited about blue. Some great inspiration here on how to work blue into your work wardrobe, and if I am lucky enough to have casual Friday's how I can work some blue jeans into that look as well without looking sloppy or too casual. I am thinking I may need a light blue blazer to pair with some dark blue jeans... 

What to wear to work? Reiss.

One great thing about being in a new city is all the 'new' brands that I wasn't necessarily exposed to in the States.

While Reiss is available in the US, a newer addition at Bloomingdale's might I add, it is not a ubiquitous work wear brand. In the UK, where it is very much an established brand, it is indeed a women's go to for her work wardrobe. Here are some of the new looks from their S/S '14 campaign, and a few things from their outgoing F/W line, which are now on SALE.

Oh and it doesn't hurt that the Duchess of Cambridge (aka Kate Middleton) wears Reiss from time to time. You know, like that time she met Michelle Obama....
