I apologize for the lack of posts lately! I recently accepted my first post-college job offer as a paralegal and have been trying to adapt to work life. The hardest part has been finding the motivation to go to the gym and cook after a long day at the office. For those of you who are wondering, I received my degree in International Studies at the University of Washington. This job has been a huge learning curve for me since I have absolutely zero prior law experience. However, I am enjoying learning about something new and it never hurts to broaden your range of knowledge.
Anyways, enough with the boring stuff :) My office is in downtown Seattle, right in the midst of the business district. A lot of people seem to dislike wearing work clothes, but I have been having a lot of fun putting together my new wardrobe. One of my new favorite stores now is Ann Taylor. They have a petite section which is just what I need, especially when it comes to dress pants. More to come later on this topic!
What I wanted to share with you today is my work bag. I am absolutely in love with it! I have wanted a large everyday black bag for a while and was having trouble finding one in a shape, size and price range I liked. I found this Michael Kors by chance while shopping at Nordstrom Rack. The color and subtle pattern make it extremely versatile. At half off, it was a no brainer!
It is the perfect size for work. I can fit a pad of paper, my water bottle, lunch, make-up and sometimes even an extra pair of shoes (when I don't feel like wearing heels all day)! On a side note, I am seriously considering a designated snack drawer at work, since I often forget to eat on busy days.
Thanks for reading!
