Sweater Skirts & Doggy Tales | Business Casual Attire

Hi Ladies,
Whew! It's been quite a morning. Before I tell you why, let me make two important announcements:

• Petite Career Girl is now officially Curves, Curls and Careers! Yay! (I'll go into the reasons why in another post.) My domain will be changing soon along with my site design. (Yes, one more site design!) 
• I will also be switching my posting schedule to Tues, Thursday and Saturday starting next week. Lots more fun stuff is coming up...can't wait! :)

I had the pleasure of shooting today's pics with Regan from Reagan In My Own World. Usually, we take pictures inside my house, but today we decided to do them outside. This wasn't a great idea...

First, it was 47 degrees outside. Somehow we still had the idea that it was in the 70s, because we both had bare hands and legs. We froze! Then, while taking pictures in the driveway of my condo (my own driveway), a man jogged by and yelled "I know you effing saw me!" at us. (Except he didn't use the word "effing".) Ooookkkk...

Review of Happiness Boutique & A Houndstooth Skirt

Hi Ladies,
How's your week going? I'm having a good one! I'm back on the wagon eating-wise! It took a stern talk from my doctor, but I think I got my motivation back. (It's only been one day, so I can't declare victory yet, but I'd love any happy vibes you could send my way.) I'm also happy to announce that I've got a new blog design coming out in the next few days! You should find it faster, more mobile responsive and free of the newspaper subscription pop-up. (Thanks for bearing with me while I tried that out. It's confirmed: pop-ups are annoying!)

New eShakti Dress

Hi Ladies,
Sorry for the underexposed pictures. I took some really wonderful pictures of this dress and then accidentally deleted all of them. :( Then I had what I'll classify as a "photography malfunction". I don't know if it was the photographer (me), the camera or the lighting, but I couldn't get the lighting right!!! Argh!!! Then my camera kept turning off every time I took a picture. (I had dropped my it a week before and was freaking out.) Anyway, I'm happy to say that after one frantic trip to the photography store and my refusal to leave until they told me what I was doing wrong, I figured out what was the problem. I'm going to go ahead and share it, because even though it's  boring and highly technical, it gives you an idea of how ridiculously prone to screwing-up photography is. (If you ever see a photograph that you love, thank the photographer - she probably sweat blood and tears in order to take the shot.)

Green Bocade Skirt (Business Casual Attire)

 

Hi Ladies,
Today is just a quickie post! BTW...here are two other ways that I wore my green Eloquii Skirt, and here.

Pink, Black and Stripes

 

This past Sunday I got to meet up with Regan from Regan In My Own World! She's another Charlotte blogger with cute style. I can't tell you how much fun it is to do a photo shoot with another person and she's so sweet! It can get really boring taking pictures by yourself with a remote and tripod. Besides, you can get really cute, candid shots when someone else is pulling the trigger. (These aren't the pictures we took, but I'll start sharing them next week.) Can't wait!

Hi Ladies,
This is the third post in my "What to Wear to Work" series. Today I'm a Public Relations gal, and I'm also guest posting on The Tiny Heart about "6 Ways to Add More YOU to your Business Casual Wardrobe", so stop by! I'm hosting a giveaway on her site too. :) 

What to Wear to Work | Gallery Owner

Hi Ladies,

Today is the second post in my "What to Wear to Work" series. (Are you a teacher wondering what to wear? Check out last week's post!) Today I'm pretending to be a Gallery Owner. I see myself wearing this to openings.

Kiyonna Review | Dressy Casual

Hi Ladies,
Thank you so much for your support and well wishes yesterday! I was really feeling like crap and it was comforting to know that so many of you have gone through similar situations. Just so you know, I did reach out to the adoption agency to see what kind of support they can provide, so I'll keep you posted. Thanks again! :) Now, on to something fun:

What to Wear to Work | Teacher Clothes

Hi Ladies,
It's monday night and I'm jammin to Jason Derulo (circa 2011) and drinking Muscadine Grape Wine. It's fantastic! (Yes, I'm Southern...LOL! I'm pretty sure you can only buy this wine in the South...probably only in North Carolina.) Have you tried Muscadine grapes? They are sweet, kinda tart and you have to peel off the skin first, but they are wonderful! I've had about a glass now, so please excuse any spelling mistakes from here on out. :)

Casual Business Attire | Chanel Inspired

 
Hi Ladies,
I'm so excited! I launch all my "new suprises" this week! :) Eek! Starting tomorrow you'll see the first one and the second one will come on Thursday. <Scream> :)  I'm scared and excited all at the same time; I hope you like them! :)

How to wear a midi skirt | Casual business attire

Hi Ladies,

As you probably know, wearing a midi skirt when you are short or curvy can be very tricky. We've probably all tried them on and wondered who designed this!?!?!?! Who would make a skirt that cuts off at the most unattractive length (mid calf) and can instantly make you look short and stumpy? Well, the answer is simple...if you get the right cut, a midi skirt can make you look long and lean!

Anthropologie Like Clothing - (Business Casual Attire)

Ok, this is my last pink and green outfit; I promise! I just love these two colors together and I get to make every AKA scream with glee, but I'm gonna limit myself.

Nautical Outfit - (Business Casual Attire)

Hi Ladies,
I'm really loving this gold belt! When gold chain belts started coming out in stores, I thought they were tacky. I remembered  that I used to wear something like it over Express tunics and leggings in middle school and I wasn't excited to repeat that.

Yellow Cardi & Khaki Pencil Skirt - (Business Casual Attire)

Hi Ladies,
Here's another take on my Chadwick's pink plaid skirt, see the other post here. Even though it has a small line of pink in it I'm finding it to be amazingly versatile!

Black & White Stripe Dress & Green Cardi (Business Casual Attire)

Ok, so I couldn't decide how I wanted to style this dress. I also couldn't decide on the right venue. It was hot as Hades outside, I could barely stay in a solid form. Then the camera wasn't working right.

3 Ways to Wear a Sheath Dress - (Business Casual Attire)

Business Casual Attire - Chanel and Denim

Hi Ladies,

Things are crazy in my life right now, so I haven't had a lot of time to post. I wanted to go ahead and post the final picture of Petite Career Mommy and then I'll be putting together a post about the crazy happenings in my life, but let's just say that I had to move and then my new place flooded. :( I miss talking to you guys so much! I hope to start posting regularly next week! :) Take Care!
