The Work Uniform in BLACK or My JUMPER

Ever since I've moved back to Chicago it seems like opportunities have been knocking on my door constantly. Whether it'd be for collaborations with uh-mazing brands (can anyone say Timberland?) or getting a new job (Hello Mr. Host at Sable), I've been extremely fortunate. One thing that I haven't been so fortunate about is having black clothes or the "work uniform."

A friend of mine said that I looked like I was wearing a onsies/jumpsuit. I love it.

Pretty much (like I've said before) is that my closet consist of patterned shirts, tons of denim, and color. The plain black look is completely lacking. I can honestly say that I think I have like 2 outfits that are completely black.  So I went a little on a little thrift adventure with my friend Gina to Village Discount, where I found tons of lovely black shirts. I pretty much have a love/hate relationship with thrift stores.

I look like a wizard and I love it.

Oh PS, I also found a lovely chiffon peter pan collared shirt from American Apparel that was 50%, oh hai. I mean it was girls (shh), but I think I could totally work it.

You're probably thinking why the heck did I just post the picture above? I don't know, I thought I kind of looked smart? Never mind it's probably the opposite. One thing that I did find out is that you can never have too much black in wardrobe, especially when every (the) job requires you to wear black.
