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 – October 2024

October was truly October-ing for me this October 2024! Indeed, weather-wise this October had some warm and cooler days and has been much more refreshing than the swamp of a Summer that is typical for the Washington, DC area. There’s nothing super new or significant professionally for October 2024, but nevertheless, I am plugging away (as my Papa says!) and am making strides in my career for the future. Through it all though, I have enjoyed the cooler temperatures, time with loved ones, and the excitement towards a lighter workload as the holidays approach (my industry is super quiet during the last two months of the year!).

On my Instagram (let’s be friends @_thepinkchickadee), I have been sharing ALLL about what I like to call Fall fashion-wise … Pink Fall! I have LOVED here and there getting to style fun outfits with my favorite color PINK. One of the things that disappoints me a bit about Fall is the societal expectation to put away the bright colors from Summer and get out the darker colors for Fall. Fall and Winter and even Spring doesn’t mean we do not have to wear our favorite bright colored pieces. SO, Happy PINK FALL!

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!
