Zara - Pleated Dress with Slits - $69.90

While I was traveling, I bought this at the Zara in London opposite Harrods. This Zara is particularly huge and they had so many options. Of course I was in Zara heaven. I recently wore this in the hot weather I'm currently experiencing and it was worth the buy! 

Sweater Weather Wardrobe

Not too long ago, we celebrated one my sister's birthday in the happiest place on earth. When I returned home, I was slapped by the cold. How could neighbors differ in temperature so much!! My God!! Winter is here, and it is here to stay until next year... sigh (I sigh and smile a lot :) ) ... Anyways, with a change in temperature comes a change in wardrobe! So I'm going to try to be a little creative with the clothes I have! Here are some ideas if you are interested...

If you live in the North, feel free to adjust the below for the intensity of the weather you are currently facing (I'm sorry). If you live in the South, I think these will be perfect for you!

10 Perfect Work Bags

Before I started working in the "corporate world", I made my sister buy a Zara office bag for me and I am soo happy I did that! Although it was pricey I've used it more than what I invested (using the a dollar a day technique :) ) I've used the bag for over a year now and It still has its "Office Woman" appeal! Here are 10 bags that I would/and have invested in especially if you have a bulky office Laptop like I do -

H&M Handbag in Burgundy
NLF
Add some color to your black and brown bag collection! This will look amazing in ANYTHING!

Everlane The Twill Zip Tote
LF
This tote is simple and doesn't attract too much attention. It is also very good quality for the price

Zara Leather Shopper Bag

LF

Zara is one of my favorite stores to shop for bags, majority of my bags are from Zara and they never disappoint!

H&M Gray Handbag
NLF
Another fun color! It's very calm and cool,  and would go with any outfit, from very colorful to a normal black suit

Everlane The Twill Snap Backpack in Bright Navy

LF



Shocking!! Backpacks ?! Yes Ladies! There are some of us (including I ) who are seriously giving this a second thought.. It's very nice, and won't kill your shoulders especially if you have a very heavy laptop. I will say use this as well as a little shoulder bag like this to keep all your valuables and phone. It's not like you are presenting in it ?! Or... you could just buy this for your bf, husband or kid! (and borrow it)

If so whcih ones are your favorite above ?! Mine are the one in the middle! Obviously!!
