What I Wore Out Of Office – January 2025

New year, new monthly outfit series here on the blog! Over on my Instagram (let’s be friends @_thepinkchickadee) Stories, I share my outfits of the day (OOTDs) pretty much daily. Over the years, so many of y’all have found joy in seeing what I’m wearing and perhaps finding your own joy and style inspiration from them (I hope so!!!). A few weeks ago, I had a friend reach out to me and ask to see where she could shop all of my outfits, whether for work or play. That all being said, I am introducing today a second monthly outfit series: What I Wore Out Of Office!!! *Cues the confetti*

What I Wore Out Of Office will consist of ALL of my outfits that I do not wear during my 9-5 working days. These outfits exclude outfits worn on a working day outside of a work-specific event. Rather, these outfits are focused on out of office looks, whether for dinner and drinks with friends or family, happy hour, exploring my own backyard, church, or *even* travel. I am excited to share some of my outfits for the fun moments in life, not that work can’t be fun at times too. Needless to say, I’m psyched to share it all here with YOU!

My January 2025 was definitely more of a lowkey and cozy month, despite it feeling like the LOOONGEST month of the year (if you know, you know!). Snow hit the Washington, DC area pretty early on in January 2025 and remained on the ground until the end of the month. We had freezing temperatures which caused me to feel a bit under the weather hence there were not as many exciting more fun outfits and outings around town. But, despite the time spent at home, I truly felt I was able to reset and recharge going into 2025!

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.

The Fall Outfit I Love

When I think of Fall fashion colors, I typically envision shades of orange, green, brown, mustard, and Burgundy. I may even add in a dark purple, too. I don’t know about you, but the following colors mentioned are what scream Fall to me. At the same time, I am a sucker for the color pink; I mean, my blog’s name is The Pink Chickadee! It may be hard at times and less intuitive to style pink for Fall, but I am a firm believer that ANY color can be styled for any season if you give it a try! Today, I am going to be sharing an outfit for Fall that involves the color PINK.

My Outfit:

Throughout the Fall season, the color pink is my favorite to style with all year round. I hope my pink outfit helps us all know that we can wear pink all day everyday!

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.
