Falling for Red

I bet you didn’t think you’d get double red post this week, but here we are! That’s what I call artful foreshadowing (lol) from my post title on Monday. We were talking the immediate future. It’s pretty well timed too, because it certainly feels like the weather is starting to change on us and these outfits are definitely the fall friendly red version. Anyone else feel like their allergies have kicked in good? Just me? I don’t even know what I’m allergic too, but it can’t be anything else BUT allergies.

We’re finally feeling back in a groove. This week was exciting because we got a new workout from our trainer to get started on and when we worked out with him, it was a real killer… feeling sore days later! On the not so good end, Tim’s hometown is dealing with flooding from heavy rains and we’re praying for the waters to recede so the people who’ve been evacuated can return to their homes. I’m sure this is only the beginning as people will have to deal with the water damage. I saw an intense video of cars from the dealership his Aunt works at floating away and crashing into each other.

We’re heading to Columbus Ohio this weekend for Tim’s roommate from college’s wedding! We’re so looking forward to seeing his buddies from college and celebrating Nathan and Carolyn! Let us know if you have any must visit places while we’re there. I’m actually considering wearing this jumpsuit for the rehearsal dinner since Tim has to wear a tie and jacket possibly, but we’ll see if I go more casual.

Caitlin’s weekend will look very similar to her last one. She & Sarah (her roommate and our photographer of these pics) got referred from the senior pictures they did last weekend and are already scheduled with the referral! Weather permitting she’ll be doing some laying out by the pool and some grilling out. I’ll be missing our basketball game Sunday morning so she’s been getting extra cardio in this week because she probably won’t have a sub! The Pack is back (Green Bay Packers), and she’s a big fan – so she’ll definitely be watching their pre-season game.

This jumpsuit was one I eyed for a lonnnggg time and waited until it went on sale. I loved it from the beginning but couldn’t justify it because it didn’t pass the versatility factor. I couldn’t wear it to work, and like I mentioned in our last post – our life is pretty casual. But when it went on sale I was ready to bring it home!

It’s red which is our “it” color right now and it was a tall size! I actually ordered a 12 and while I was glad I got that size, my upper body needed a 10 for sure. Cue our tailors’ entrance. She worked her magic and I was all set and feeling amazing! Unfortunately I think this is sold out now on Asos, but they have other cheap jumpsuit options that would work in your closet.

Caitlin has been fervently watching Express for new work pants that came in long and when these beauties popped up in new arrivals she wasted zero time, despite them not coming in long. She was pleasantly surprised to find that they were a great length on her. But Express, call us! I asked a customer service rep the other day while I was browsing if they have any plans to provide dresses that come in long and she gave me an auto answer. Tall fashion should be included in the Inclusive fashion movement.

But I digress. We are all about updated workwear in our closets. Just because you’re in a corporate setting does NOT mean you have to look boring. To us, it’s all about the cut and quality of pieces that help you look professional. She paired the pants with these favorite block heels of hers that are under $30 and so comfortable!

We are big proponents of their short sleeve blouses at Express as well. They actually have very nice length in the body of them, so any time we see them in new cuts or colors we snatch them up! This was no exception, considering there was lace involved! We both love us some lace tops! A cream blouse will go a long way in your closet as well, bringing the cost per wear down to a reasonable level.

By the way, Express is doing 30% off work essentials right now, so both of Caitlin’s outfit pieces are on sale! Also, if you purchase through the Asos app, it’s 15% off right now! Worth checking out if you’re considering a purchase at either.
