Cheap! Cheap! L.K. Bennett

Unlike the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale which was discussed to death by literally every fashun blogger ever (seriously? Eleven posts on one sale?), L.K. Bennett is quietly having a very nice end of season sale. Items are significantly marked down with an additional 30% off. Not bad. Only caveat: many of the items are lucky sizes only so happy hunting!

One of our favorite purchases? This jersey dress feels like a t-shirt but looks so much more work appropriate It’s also super versatile. We’ve paired it with snake print pumps, bright pumps, red pumps, nude pumps, and navy pumps.

Want to see how we’ve styled it? Well, check out our Instagram (notafashunblogger)! Surprise! We started an Instagram account for this blog. Follow us! We post terrible #ootd pictures, good pictures of cocktails, and random photos of crap that we think relates to the blog and our lives as real working girls!

Workout Wednesday: Let's Discuss that NYT Article

By know we've all read (or read about) that New York Times opinion piece shaming women for wearing anything other than sweatpants to the gym. We're not going to link to it here because we don't want to send additional traffic to the website; however, THIS article from Jezebel sums the article up quite nicely (make sure to check out the comments, they're gold). In short, the author of the opinion piece wears sweatpants to the gym, doesn't see anyone else wearing them and then proceeds to shame women for (1) wanting to look nice in their workout clothing; and (2) wearing anything other than baggy sweats to the gym. The article also cultivates the very thing that the author claims the proliferation of the yoga pants culture seems to cultivate: it shames women for dressing how they want, when they want. The overarching theme of women shaming aside (because we don't have the time to go into that), most of the points that the author makes in the article are jus...

Mad for Plaid: An entire post dedicated to Black Watch Tartan

Confession: Katie 1 has a slight obsession w/ Black Watch Tartan. Why? First, because it’s a combination of her favorite colors. Second, the Duchess of Cambridge. Third, it has a pretty cool history which makes it even more fun to wear. It’s fairly common knowledge that Black Watch tartan is named for the 43rd Royal Regiment, commonly known as the Black Watch. Did you know that Black Watch tartan actually pre-dates the formation of the 43rd Royal Regiment? In fact, one of the theories behind why the 43rd is called the Black Watch is because of the very dark appearance of their uniform tartan (which we now know as Black Watch tartan). So how deep does Katie 1’s obsession go? She could wear a different item of Black Watch tartan every day for more than a week obsessed. Want proof? Here’s a list of all of the Black Watch items in her wardrobe. Blazer Work Dress Casual Dress Side Zip Ankle Pants Front Zip Ankle Pants Trousers Ski...

Back to Basics: The Sheath Dress

We're back with the second post in our series of basic pieces that working women should have in their wardrobes. If you missed our first, go back and check it out . The goal is to show you those items we come back to time and time again and show you a few ways to wear them so you 1) get some mileage out of the pieces and 2) you don't look (or feel) as though you're wearing the same thing every day. The capsule wardrobe. Be honest- how many times have you pinned it? (Katie 1 would like you to know she's has NEVER pinned it. She has no desire whatsoever to create a capsule wardrobe thankyouverymuch.) Whether it's for vacation or every day, we search for those elusive few pieces that we can mix-and-match in a million different ways to create an entire month's worth of outfits with just seven pieces! We here at Not a Corporate Fashun Blog have no mastered the capsule wardrobe. We, just like you, wake up in the morning with a closet packed full of stuff and ...
