What I Wore to Work – August 2024

August is truly one of my favorite months of the year! The slower pace of this late Summer month with the looming excitement of Fall yet moments to enjoy the ongoing warmer days make it truly a favorite of mine. As for workwear, I definitely tend to be more comfortable and casual during these so-called “dog days of Summer”. Having taken a trip to Indianapolis and Chicago (here) early on in August, I also enjoyed being more mindful and enjoying some time locally at home, too. As for work-wise, I love the “Summer lull” that this month provides before the busy Fall season comes to fruition. Having gone to Hawaii for the first week of September (which has since happened by the time this post will be live – whoops!!), I am truly ready for what Fall 2024 has in store!

If I’m being honest, Summer 2024 was a bit stressful and chaotic and I am SO excited for what this new season has to bring. Over the years, I’ve talked with fellow colleagues about this, too, that when a tough season comes there’s always an opportunity for a fresh start when the new season arrives. Coming back from a week in Hawaii leaves me ready for Fall apparel while still sharing Summer looks (case in point with this posting – LOL!!) for all to enjoy AND a new season ahead. August can definitely be a strange time for us bloggers as Fall fashion starts to dominate our social media (and blog!) feeds while it’s still extremely hot and humid outside our own front doors. Personally, I choose to embrace the season and weather that I am in before speeding up ahead into the next. So, for August 2024, we will be solely focusing on Summer fashion with a transition to Fall 2024 workwear looks in September and beyond!

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 – May 2024

Out of all of the 2023-2024 work months so far, May 2024 has been the MOST transformative for my career in many ways (more to come on that soon!). Work-wise, I started the month in nothing short of a panic to learning and growing in several ways to experiencing so many pivotal moments in the direction that I want to take my career given the current professional landscape of our world. I have also started company-sponsored leadership coaching which has been SO amazing!! All in all, I am VERY proud of where I am now and where I am going!

One of the biggest takeaways I have experienced throughout May 2024 is the simple joys of getting dressed to be more productive. There IS something major to be said for getting dressed, doing my skincare + makeup routine, and making my bed that makes the day SO MUCH better. *Even* when I feel like not getting ready for the day and hanging low in my pajamas, the act of doing so makes a MAJOR impact positively on my days!

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 to Work – March 2024

From a symposium to multiple happy hours to class to an outreach trip in Raleigh, North Carolina, March 2024 was nothing short of a busy work month! I have been running around A TON in a shorter than usual work month, however, March 2024 has been one of THE MOST rewarding months for me professionally. Although I did encounter a bit of burnout, I am oh so glad about the impact that I was able to make throughout the month (and for a few days off towards the end of the month, too!).

Alongside a busy work month of March, I ALSO enjoyed my first full month of breaking out Spring 2024 fashion. Spring fashion ALWAYS feels like such a breath of fresh air after months of Winter. I get SO SO SO excited (just like most of y’all do!) for the pastels and bright colors of Spring! And, *of course* cheers to many more Spring/Summer fashion months to come both personally and professionally (!!!).

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 – October 2023

From feeling like Summer to feeling like Winter to everything in between, weather-wise, October 2023 truly was the perfect definition of a typical Washington, DC Fall (if you know, you know!). And, in my professional life, A LOT of excitement has occurred (!!!!) from getting an unexpected promotion to working on some very exciting tasks to going back to the classroom to starting my first-ever professional certification and *even* speaking at a conference in Washington, DC in between it all, October 2023 has been one of THE MOST exciting professional months for me. Personally, October 2023 has sucked when it came to allergies and feeling perhaps under the weather more than usual. I definitely chose leggings and skorts *even with a cute and maybe snazzy top* over a dress and likely will continue to do so this Fall/Winter season! Anyhow, with the transition from warmer temperatures to cooler ones, I am very excited to be able to style some Fall/Winter pieces from within my own closet.

I think one of the biggest themes within my fashion choices this October 2023 is how much I LOVE choosing comfort over anything else. And, yes, there IS a benefit to comfort when working from home. BUT, I can also dress stylish and make comfortable feel confident and fun, too. Comfort is MORE than just a pair of sweatpants and a fuzzy robe (HOWEVER, that is a great way to snuggle up in these chilly temperatures, too!). I have definitely found myself enjoying hibernating, too, as it gets cooler which I think leads to why I’m often opting for leggings. We shall see how I progress over the rest of the Fall/Winter season, though! And, as it appears in the most recent Washington, DC news, it will be a snowy snowy snowy Winter (!!!!), which may make for some ultra-stylish and fun photos.

My Blogging Highlights of 2021 + Favorite Outfit from Each Month!

Oh what fun this past year of 2021 was! 2021 was my first full year as a blogger. I witnessed many changes in my life – graduation from college, a move to the nation’s capital, postgraduate employment in the corporate world while primarily working remotely, and becoming a Dog Mom to Rosie. Through it all, my platform here at The Pink Chickadee has kept me going strong. Today on the blog, I am going to be sharing some of my blogger highlights PLUS my favorite outfit from each month of the year.
