OOTD 2.21.2012 :: Performance Review

The title of today’s post says it all — it’s performance review day at work. It’s a day I always simultaneously look forward to and dread. Outfitwise it means that I fall on the business side of business casual. I tend to give Banana Republic shit for their inferior quality (they deserve it!) but credit it due here. This dress has been a dependable, well-made workhorse for the last couple of years. It has the ability to transition from day to night as needed. And hopefully there will be celebratory drinks tonight! (Wish me luck. I probably need it.)

To help feel like everything old is new again I added some new accessories with the dress. Necklace, shoes, earrings, bracelet. And just like that I feel like I’m wearing something new, which feeds the beast inside that always wants to wear something for the first time.

Do you look forward to performance reviews at your job? What do you usually wear?
