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.
