Flats

For day 2 of the professional attire hunt my goal has been flats. Wearing heals around a hospital just doesn't seem very practical, or comfortable, so I've been looking for some flats would be professional enough to wear in this setting. And thanks to Payless, I've had some success!

These Classic Flats that remind me Chanel

These Bow Flats

These Sweet & Simple Flats
Lastly, the shoes I really want are Danskos. They are professional, comfortable and they make me taller without having to wear heels. Now I just need to decide between the basic leather and the patent leather, and force myself to spend the money ha ha.

P.S. I'm leaving tomorrow after class to go home (!!!) for Easter. I probably won't be posting but I'll have lots to share when I get back. Happy Easter!

Time and Planning

 
The closer and closer I get to my supervised practice placement the more I realize I still need to make some major strides with my professional attire.

Thus far I am pretty proud of my 3 pencil skirts (that actually fit well!) and my beautiful pearl studs that my Momma got me, but that's about it. I'm still looking for blazers and pants that fit well, about a million button-up shirts, comfy flats, Danskos and a watch.

Today I'm going to focus on the watch, mostly because it seemed the least intimidating. Wrong. We don't have much leniency with style or even much color and I'm starting to see that is a little difficult when a person (me) likes things as ruffled and girly as they come.

These are the watches I would by if I weren't in my chosen profession...

That thought is a little depressing, so I have decided to think of them more as "weekend watches." Meaning, these are the watches I would wear on the weekend, and then I don't have to give up on them completely.

The Pink Kate Spade Watch

Betsey Johnson Printed Rose Watch

The Pearly Watch

Betsey Johnson Ribbon Strap Watch
AND...

The Perfect Badgley Mischka Bow Watch

I am in LOVE with this watch! However, it totally isn't professional enough for what I need. So I've decided to take a cue from the tortoise shell and head in that direction. For some reason, tortoise shell always reminds me of the glasses my Mom had in the early 90's (sorry Mom!) but I do like how versatile it is.

So here are some watches I could actually wear...

Michael Kors Tortoise Shell Watch

Anne Klein Tortoise Shell Watch 

However, I don't have a Michael Kors budget and I'm okay with that. And I did find some pretty darn cute watches from Target! What more could you want?

I also found the watch I already have (and love) in tortoise shell!

 Target Tortoise Shell Cuff Watch

For now, I'll be sticking with the watch I have while I'm on the hunt for the winning new one. And here it is:

Target White Cuff Watch (aka my watch)

It also reminds me of this Kate Spade Watch and I think that is pretty stinkin' neat!

Lastly, to go with all this time talk, I've been organizing my projects and school work to get ready for the end of the semester. Yay!
Here is the little project I've been working on and I finished it last night.
