TGIF! It has been a seriously long week. I mean, you know you're in trouble when Tuesday feels like Friday. Anyway, I kept things pretty casual all this week, mostly because I've been having some trouble with my left ankle (old cheerleading injury) and was giving the heels a rest. I think it's important for people who want to work in this business to know that you can keep things casual without losing your professionalism. In fact, there will be days when a more casual outfit is better suited to what you're doing.

I actually wore this for a day of reporting. My story was outside, at a state park actually, and I did a good bit of walking, so heels weren't really appropriate. Everything I'm wearing, with the exception of my watch, is at least a year old. It's like I've been saying -- you can't go wrong when you invest in classic, good-quality pieces. (I couldn't find anything similar to my shirt to link to.)

This is a pretty basic spring/summer outfit combo for me -- dark-wash jeans and a printed shell paired with a blazer and heels. It's simple and comfortable but still appropriate when representing the station. My shirt is a couple of years old as are my wedges. My jeans are new and rolled under to show a little more of my ankle. This is my favorite black blazer (I have three). It's the easiest to wear casually because of the cuffable sleeves. I love the small striping detail!
