What I Wore to Work – December 2024

As y’all may already know, I share my work outfits over on my Instagram stories (let’s be friends @_thepinkchickadee) and have LOVED getting to share my day-to-day style with y’all. December working outfits definitely have a holiday twist to them! It is ALWAYS so so so fun to pull out allll of the holiday apparel this time of year. While I am a HUGE dressy girly and ADORE wearing dresses like ALLL the time especially in my work outfits, when the temperature is freezing outside, I am WAYYYY less likely to wear a dress or skirt! December 2024 was definitely spent in a lot more lounge like clothing than dressy clothing as the 2024 work year is wrapping up. I did, HOWEVER, attend an in-person work event at the tail end of my working December month and hence I had a great opportunity to style some tights for a working day – LOLLLL – which was a nice break from the typical sweats and leggings!!

December is typically pretty quiet in my working world work-wise, but this year, it was actually a more busier working month! I actually found some of the earlier Fall months like September and October to be a bit quieter. I got an exciting opportunity to lead a smaller team on my current project this December – a rare time for these opportunities but nevertheless we embrace and take it on! At the same time, I am working on generating goals for the upcoming 2025 year professionally in my 9-5 and here on this platform. And, last but not least, it is WILD that this is my last blog post where I will be sharing work outfits for 2024! I initially started sharing work outfits as a way to hold myself accountable to feeling more productive while working from home back in May 2023 and provide others with style inspiration while at it. To end 2024, I have shared over 300 work outfits since then. I am pleased to share that I will continue to share my work outfits with y’all into 2025 and beyond (!!!!), as sharing my work outfits with y’all bring me SO MUCH JOY. Enough of my soap box, but thank YOU for being here and for making work outfits fun to share!!

What I Wore To Work – November 2024

November work-wise, while a slower month than usual (it is typically the case in the work that I do!), definitely had a few professional highs. A successful work event kicked off my November working month and a few successful accolades in my day-to-day working world closed it out. At the same time, I was able to take two trips this month (hence the lesser volume of work outfits in this post!) to New York City for some early November Christmas cheer (here) and to Toronto to see Taylor Swift perform on her Eras Tour (!!!!) and *of course* do some sightseeing (more to come on this trip!). I feel SO fortunate that professionally, I was able to take some time off this month but also accomplish some things on the work front.

Many of y’all over on Instagram (let’s be friends @_thepinkchickadee) were asking about some of the pieces that I styled! I actually thrift A LOT including many of my name brand pieces (!!!) and would LOVE to share more about my thrifting experiences and journey shopping secondhand in the coming months with y’all. Overall, I encourage y’all to shop sustainably to both save a bit of cash and help out the planet, too.

What I Wore to Work – July 2024

July 2024 started off with a bang (stress-wise) and ended SOOOO peacefully. Due to some family matters (which added on the early stress of this past month), the beginning of July felt SOOO chaotic, however, as the month progressed, things improved for the better, which I am SOOOO grateful for. Professionally, I had a fun shoutout from my company and many of my colleagues in honor of some client work that I completed surrounding Disability Pride Month (which is I learned is July!) the month prior, which was fun and rewarding to see. At the same time, I am making professional strides to grow my career in program management within the data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) space. I have registered for relevant program management certification courses, am supporting a team focused on robotic process automation (aka my company’s *very own* bot!!), and am reading up on all-things data analytics and AI in my spare time. Although, an initially chaotic month, I am grateful to end July 2024 with much more clarity and a prosperous path moving forward.

One of my highlights in the midst of it all that July 2024 brought was getting to follow the Summer Olympics in Paris. I have been following Team USA updates via my News app on my iPhone and have enjoyed sharing them with my colleagues bringing us ALL some joy! Simone Biles’ Gold Medal win via the Team USA Women’s Gymnastics team was announced JUST before one of my team calls, so I *of course* brought it up on that team call which many of my teammates loved hearing the news, too. Truly, the Summer Olympics have been fun to follow along with and share the news and celebrate it with my colleagues.

August and into September of 2024 are to be one of my busiest travel seasons YET (!!!!). I will be working bicoastal for half days for 3 days during August and will be visiting 2 (!!!!!) new and extremely anticipated states that I’ve been dying to visit for 15+ years now in this timeframe. That all being said, outfits will be limited during this period, but I am excited to still share what I wear in August as I wrap up Summer 2024 fashion (CRAZY to say out loud!). Needless to say, I’m super excited for my final full Summer month of work (from home) wear!

What I Wore to Work – April 2024

April 2024 was a short but sweet work month! I started my month off with an INCREDIBLE (!!!!!) 8-day long trip to Ireland and graduating from my Ignite Young Professionals program JUST DAYS after landing back in the states and a trip to Delaware in the mix of it all and then ended it with some exciting things on the horizon and in the works at my 9-5. Personally, I LOVE being on the grind, but always LOVE taking some time to genuinely be with myself and essentially take some time to rest and be more mindful (which I did in Ireland AND am working on doing more so in my daily life!). Needless to say, while a *pretty* chaotic yet exciting work month that started off with a vacation, I have closed out April 2024 professionally feeling LOTSSS of gratitude for what is to come.

As for fashion, I had a BALL styling some fun Spring 2024 outfits! March was a fuse between Winter to False Spring and then Winter ALLLL over again, so it was REALLY nice to have a primarily warm and rather Spring-y April month!!! Ireland was *pretty* cold and windy, too, to kick off April, so it was oh so nice to come back to a warmer Washington, DC! Personally, Spring is my FAVORITE fashion season (alongside Fall!), as new seasons bring new light and excitement and joy within the fashion worlds.

What I Wore in Dallas, Texas

On my Instagram (follow me @_thepinkchickadee), I have been sharing A TON about my adventures in Dallas, Texas (here) celebrating one of my influencer besties Lindsay of @sunshineandstairclimbs on Instagram (GO FOLLOW HER TOO!!!!) with some of my now new fellow friends of Lindsay’s! We had A BLAST getting to celebrate Lindsay altogether AND enjoy and explore the Lonestar state aka state 25/50 for me (!!!!). Today on the blog, I’m going to be sharing ALLLL the details about what *none other than* I wore while exploring a brand-new-to-me state.

My trip to Dallas, Texas was SUCH A BLAST (!!!!!). From dining at a Valentine’s-themed restaurant to a Super Bowl party with a …. Bejeweled PINK football clutch to a glamorous shopping experience at Highland Park Village with *even* Chanel-themed Mimosas, my trip to Dallas truly gave me my Sex and the City moment. Over the years, I have admired Dallas’s fashion scene, as a preppy fashion lover who attended college in North Carolina. SO, getting to visit Dallas was such a dream AND such a blast to plan outfits for.

I regularly share content regarding what I wear each month to work (here, here, and here) and I want to share more about some of my more fun outfits, too! While many of us spend A LOT of our time at our 9-5 jobs, all of us enjoy time outside of it with our loved ones, as well. In the future, I hope to share EVEN MORE fun content surrounding what I wear when I travel AND locally for fun adventures!

What I Wore to Work – February 2024

February 2024 was SUCH A FUN (!!!!) month in regards to travel to an early Spring (and *even* Spring cleaning) to excitement on the professional front. From recovering from COVID fatigue and lingering COVID to traveling to Texas and North Carolina to transitioning my wardrobe to Spring, my February wardrobe has evolved with the changing times of the month. Peak bloom of the Washington, DC cherry blossoms is estimated for March 23-26 as the National Park Service predicts! SO, in typical Katie fashion, I brought out the Spring clothes in February and put the Fall/Winter wardrobe away!

While the holiday season was SUCH A FUN TIME for me in October-December 2023, January and early February 2024 were a bit …. Eh. I got COVID for the first time in January of this year and had a lengthy recovery. Surprisingly speaking, some excitement on the professional front brought me out of my COVID fatigue and sped up recovery. I am ALSO soooo excited that Spring is *finally* coming to the Washington, DC area! I truly miss the warmer climates and love love love Spring/Fall weather the most with its mild outdoor climates. However, as we move into March 2024, my allergies are continuing, but the excitement for Spring persists evermore.

What I Wore to Work – January 2024

January has felt like the LOOOONGEST month, both personally (more on that to come *very* soon!) AND professionally. To kick off my first work week in 2024, I spent it in Delaware at my Dad’s house with him and his Yorkie Ginger near the beach. It was SOOO nice to simply get away from the craze and hustle and bustle of Washington, DC and simply be by the beach. THEN, I came home for my first full 5-day work week and … lo and behold … Papa and I both got COVID for the first time. Needless to say, January 2024 has made me take many more sick days than anticipated this early in the year AND many more days in pajamas and sweatshirts and fuzzy robes and slippers GALORE, too. Throughout the month of January 2024, though, I have enjoyed getting to style some fun work from home outfits (some even being pajamas – LOL!) while recovering from COVID!

During this past month, I ALSO started to *finally* revamp my Shop.LTK page (here) (!!!!!) AND have been posting MANY of my daily outfits (including work outfits) with exact and similar pieces for YOU to shop. My decision to revamp my Shop.LTK page was thanks to YOU all continuously asking me where/how to shop the very pieces that I wear and share with y’all!

What I Wore to Work – July 2023

July 2023 kicked off with the July 4th holiday festivities and feeling SOOO refreshed after being on vacation in South Carolina for the latter part of June. Work-wise, I jumped right back in with a much clearer head post-vacation ready to take all that may come my way. Work-wise this year, July has been my busiest month to date (SUCH a surprise to many given that July is in the peak of Summer, yet Summer is my busy season at work!). At the same time, July 2023 has also been one of the most exciting months for me professionally. I have been fortunate enough to reach some of my biggest professional and also blogger goals and milestones this month. Needless to say, July 2023 and beyond are going to be VERY exciting for me both professionally and personally on this blog.

Since kicking off sharing my work outfits on this platform back in May (here), it has become nothing but a highlight of my working days for me to share what I wear. Before I shared my work outfits with y’all, ALL I wanted to do was go into the office every single day just so I could put on a cute outfit. However, on the same token, I have learned to LOVE the work from home life and its perks (something my company decided to allow employees to do moving forward) and find sharing my daily outfits with y’all to be my happy haven. The joy I get from sharing my outfit of the day on my Instagram stories (follow me on Instagram @_thepinkchickadee) and seeing others feel the joy from it too is such a gift for me. July 2023 was my second full month sharing my daily outfits and hopefully FAR from one of the last. I am grateful for the love I get both on social media and here on this website for sharing what I wear!

There is only ONE MORE MONTH of Summer 2023 which has flown by wayyyy too fast for many of us. Not going to lie over here, I am beyond ready for Spooky Season and Fall 2023. But, at the same time, I am enjoying styling Summer 2023 outfits for work and play while I can. In the Washington, DC area, school starts by August 30 for most students, which makes me really excited to see Fall kicking off (despite not going back to school any time soon!). Back to School/Fall fashion is SO fun to style, too, but for now, I am going to enjoy ~6-8 weeks of more Summer looks.

#KatiesConfettiStyle September 28-October 2

Hey y’all! It’s officially Week 2 of showing off how I style different pieces for my brand-new weekly style series Katie’s Confetti Style. Today, I am sharing a round up of my looks from this past week. Please note that this week will be a smaller number of outfits, as I have had midterms. However, I did plan some super fun looks that I hope y’all enjoy!!!

Tuesday: A White Dress for Fall!

Whoever said that white dresses were made just for the warmer months clearly never knew how fun wearing a white dress in the Fall is! This white dress from SheIn that I got over the summer is such a fun piece. I did a shoot with it last summer, and it’s such a great staple!!! In order to style it for Fall, I added my chambray button down as a jacket, my Madison Boutique top knot hairband, and Kate Spade leopard print flats. Let’s just say that it is one of my favorite outfits of the season!!!

Thursday: Lilly Pulitzer’s Mila Shift for Fall!

I LOVE my Mila shifts!!! The fact that I can only wear my Mila shifts in the warmer months is clearly a fashion rule that I do not want to follow. So, I made my own fashion statement by styling my Mila shift from The Pink Crab in Zanzibar Ruff Night with my navy Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt (pullover). My Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt most definitely topped off the cake of my Fall Lilly look!!!

Friday: Mad for Plaid!

I don’t know about you, but I feeling ALL of the Friday feels!!! Plaid is most definitely one of my favorite Fall and Winter weather prints, so I had to pull out my plaid cape that I got while in Scotland. Consequently, I paired it with my white Talbots top that I purchased at a thrift store and have had for YEARS as well as my blue Murano glass heart necklace that I got while in Murano, Italy on a day trip from Venice, Italy. To top it off, I added my Jack Rogers blush tan suede boots and my black leggings from Kohl’s. Definitely a Friday look for the win!!!

What I Wore During the Month of August

August most definitely slipped by like a bottle of wine! It’s crazy to think that it is already September and that Fall is approaching us. BUT, I am SO ready for it!!! August will most definitely be my final month of Summer fashions, as I will be transitioning my closet for Fall in the coming months, despite it still being a sauna in North Carolina. As always, I hope that my Summer looks can provide you with some inspiration for some final summer looks this year.
