Workwear Wednesday: The Striped Two-Piece

Today's work-friendly OOTD is officially live... Don't ask me why I'm stating the obvious.  Honestly, I just didn't know how to start this post sooo there we go *shrugs* Honesty's the best policy, right? Ha.  ANYWHO, I freakin' love Wednesdays!  I live for cute office-friendly ensembles.  I styled this Tobi blazer WAY back in the day so if it looks familiar, that's why.

When Byer California sent me this chic striped skirt I immediately thought, "why not wear this as a two-piece striped suit?"  I went with it and grabbed my blazer, and to my delight it worked out nicely.  I wanted to keep the look clean and chic so I paired it with a white crop top from Charlotte Russe.  Why did I go with a crop? Because I didn't want my shirt to get all bunched up! I hate when that happens.  Tucking in tops can be such a hassle - hashtag first world problems.

A closer look at my necklace.  It definitely adds a sophisticated touch!

My Byer CA striped skirt *forms heart with hands* It's available HERE for $38.  Made of a polyester/spandex blend, the textured knit is stretchy and comfortable!  I wear it in a size small, and it fits me like a glove!  The quality's comparable to H&M in my opinion.  With my exclusive discount code - enter SENSIBLESTYLISTA at checkout to get an extra 20% off - this skirt costs about $30. Totally worth it if you're a fan of stripes.  FYI: the length is perfect for work!

FYI, the Tobi blazer is also available HERE if you'd like to wear them together like I did.  The blazers currently on sale for $31 + an extra 30% off with code SUNLIT = $21.70 + free shipping!  The blazer's quality is comparable to H&M as well.  Tobi's one of my favorite stores!  They carry super trendy clothing for affordable prices.  I suggest taking advantage of their sale before it ends on May 21st.  Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions!

The Ultimate EDM Playlist

Oh how I love EDM.  I've been especially obsessed lately because I just finished studying for a ridonkulously hard classical piano literature exam (for my doctoral degree) - I was listenin' NONSTOP to prepare for it.  As a reward for PASSING (!!!!), I subscribed to Sirius XM.  I normally wouldn't buy somethin' like that, but I wanted to treat myself.  They also offered me a sweet deal - $20 for 6 months.  I can manage that!

As a result, I've been blasting BPM and Electric Area in the car.  Definitely pumps me up after a long day at work!  I thought I'd share some of my new favorite tracks with you guys in case you were looking for new tunes to sweat to.  Personally, I love working out to EDM! I get bursts of energy every time the beat drops.

1.  Helicopter (original mix) - Martin Garrix & Firebeatz ($:38)

2.  Karate - R3HAB & KSHMR (4:05)

3.  Big Bang - Borgeous & David Solano (2:49)

4.  Tremor - Dimitri Vegas, Martin Garrix, & Like Mike (3:19)

Find of the Day: The T-shirt Dress ($8)

Super excited to share this fabulous find with you guys today on SS.  My mom actually found this gem at Walmart last week.  She wore it out, and I swear I thought it was from Ann Taylor or Banana Republic.  I was super impressed with the quality and fit.  I actually ended up purchasing two of them for myself: one in grey, one in black.  They had other cute prints and colors though!  Clicky here to see.

So here's the 411 - material: 60% cotton, 40% polyester jersey.  Care: wash inside out, machine wash cold (gentle cycle) with like colors.  Tumble dry low!  I bought this baby in size small because I liked the loose fit.  Measurements are as follow: bust 34.5-35.5, waist 27.5-28.5, hip 37.5-38.5.  FYI: also available in M, L, XL, and XXL.  

In my opinion, this dress is a total must-have.  It can be dressed up AND down, and it's ridiculously comfortable.  I'll make sure to style it several different ways for you guys in the near future!  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  For $8, this item's a steal - clicky here to purchase.  I really can't recommend it enough.  Oh, and FYI, these pieces were purchased with my own money.  This post wasn't sponsored in any way!  I'm also not making any commission whatsoever - just in case you guys are wondering.
