Since I’m lucky enough to work in a creative field, this leather tuxedo blazer and printed pant combination serve as my version of a suit. Barney Stinson would not be even a bit impressed. I do own the one actual suit: I purchased it in college for interviews, and it makes me look like a small child playing dress-up in her mother’s closet.

Two morals to this story:
1) Fashion is one of the most fun art forms to experiment with, but in the end, should always make you look like you, and…
2) …Who says you ever, ever have to grow up?
