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!
