Vintage V-neck tee – $10 – target.com
Happy Saturday! The week-end is upon us, and so is easy, relaxed fashion…like this easy, breezy vintage V-neck tee from Target. Notice how hard it is to find the perfect tee, that’s long enough, has a V-neck deep enough (but not overly revealing), and goes as well with your favorite jeans and heels, or sweats and sneakers? Well, I may just have hit the jackpot here…
This vintage V-neck tee is the epitome of softness, and is made of 100% cotton slub. And it’s $10 to boot at Target!
Enjoy your Saturday!

Happy Hour – clotureclub.com
I enjoy happy hour, it’s a nice time to bond with the team, have a drink, and unwind. And it’s outside of the office, no files, emails or meetings in sight for a bit…Except you may be able to take the happy hour out of the office (not all offices partake in this happy practice), but you just can’t take the office out of the happy hour! As happy-go-lucky as your co-workers and managers may seem, they are still…your co-workers and managers, so as you sip on your blueberry sangria, remind yourself that there is this thing called happy hour etiquette:
1. Happy Hour is fun, and so should you be! There’s a fine line between being a great employee and being a great and boring employee! Work extends beyond your cubicle or office, so extend your network outside of your traditional work environment! So do loosen up a bit and go enjoy! It’ll give you the opportunity to show a different side of yourself, and interact with colleagues on a more relaxed and personal level.
2. Set your pace! Whether you choose to down one margarita or five, or if you opt to stay away from alcohol, remember you can set your own pace. I still like to be cautious and keep it to one, two drinks at a maximum. After all, it’s still work, except you have the option of getting hammered.
3. Keep professional! Did I say it’s still work? So whatever you do, do not ruin your career by getting sh…-faced, punching your boss in the face, and telling your annoying co-worker what you really think of him. Keep professional, watch the gossip, and when/if you start catching yourself laughing excessively at your boss’s accounting jokes, it may be time to quietly proceed to the nearest exit…
Any rules for happy hour?

Initial Bar Necklace – $10 – urbanoutfitters.com
Even before Carrie Bradshaw‘s iconic initial necklace, I was into cute, funky, yet still delicate initial necklaces. Hence today’s Work It feature, this adorable initial bar necklace from Urban Outfitters.
Love, love the delicate chain necklace, and just as delicate and dandy initial-stamped bar pendant. It’s original and perfect for work or play! You can choose between the C, E and S initials for now (and if your name starts with a different letter, use your alter ego’s). It’s on sale for $10 at Urban Outfitters!
Happy Friday!
