The Secretary Blouse: find it here on kickstarter.

Skirt: altered from a dress. (similar here.) Shoes: Enzo Angiolini. similar here. Bag: Anne Klein. (via TJMaxx. similar here.)

I know secretaries aren’t actually called secretaries anymore, but I didn’t think Administrative Assistant blouse would be nearly as charming.  And a blouse with a big bow on it deserves a charming name.

We are having such a lovely time out on the Oregon coast.  Yesterday we spent the afternoon in an English garden a stone’s throw from the ocean.  We could hear the waves coming in and out while we walked through the manicured hedge paths and admired the tulips.  It was heaven.  After the gardens we took a walk to the edge of the cliff and watched the water slam into the rocks and shoot spouts of salt water way up into the air.   How can something so violent be so calming at the same time?  I’ve never been able to figure that out, but I love it so much.

    I love this look! It is very flattering on you.

    Also, just so you know… secretaries and administrative assistants are actually different! The is a different job description/duties that go with each one. (I work in a college office)
