Guys, here's another edition of Work Wears. You know, that feature where I show you what I wear to work. This past week has been mostly full of shockingly comfy clothes. It's been cold, so that's a factor. And then most days I find myself working on the floor. Did you know most of the DIYs you see on the blog were made while sitting or photographing on the floor? It's true. So short skirts are a tragic choice on those days. 🙂
YOU DON'T KNOW ME INTERNET.
Whoa, sorry. Got a little upset there. Guess I'm a little defensive today. (Not really, I'm just joshing around with you guys).
Details: Jeans/Free People, Shoes/H&M, Collared Top/F21, White Top/H&M
YOU CAN TAKE MY SOUL, WINTER! BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE MY OPEN TOE SHOES!
There it is again! Man, I'm hyped up today. Probably too much coffee.
Details: Shirt/Thrifted, Skirt/Madewell, Shoes c/o ShopRuche, Glasses/ ABM for BonLook, Necklace/ DIY coming soon!
Details/ Sweater/H&M, Leggings and Boots c/o ModCloth
And in case you're wondering how many colored doors we have around the studio house, the answer is four. Ha! Thanks for letting me share and TGIF guys—hope you have an amazing weekend. xo. Emma

My hair is always messy…because I can’t seem to make it do anything else. There are levels of “mess” I think. We both look great. haha. I like all these looks. I recently bought what I believe is my first white shirt and I LOVE it. I need more. It’s so fresh and clean.
a) love the looks but b) emma, please NEVER stop writing.
youre seriously the best!!! <3
Loved your doors!
LOVE THE CAPS TODAY. Thanks for the giggle 🙂
Gorgeous hair and amazing outfits!!!
Hehehe love the personality in this post. You rock Emma!
Haha give me some of your energy! Can’t get enough of it, especially when it’s winter 😛 Leggings have been my go-to, because I’m too lazy to wear pants hehh. LOVE your skirt and the heels you paired with them 🙂 -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s

Lovely hair and outfit! x
Oh! Messy hair is my love! Very good blogpost! I like your style 🙂

I love all of your outfits – it’s so nice that you’ve started combining multiple outfits into one post now. I really love it. I think my favorite is that beautiful skirt (good for you for not letting winter steal away your open toed shoe joy!) but I’m also a huge fan of those floral leggings.
Have a happy weekend!

Haha Emma, you’re so funny! I enjoyed this post a lot!
As a fellow “pear” peer, I’m loving those jeans! What does the Internet know, anyway?
Love & tail wags from St. Louis!
That madewell skirt is incredible!

TGIF! your rants had me laughing out loud, by the way (:
I love you forever, Emma, messy hair, outbursts, cute comfy clothes and everything. Rock on homie (because that’s a thing I say to people except not really but hey, YOU DON’T KNOW ME INTERNET, right??)
I LOVE how feisty you are in this post!
I love your door! Amazing color – Your hair looks great too though!
Good for you, wear what you want and what makes you feel good! You look awesome. #3 is my fave.
Love those floral leggings! Also, when I still worked in an office I definitely kept a few pairs of non-winter shoes in my desk. Had to wear boots on my commute (via subway) but I didn’t have to wear them all day!
The second outfit is so great!
Emma, you are too cute for words. And gorgeous!
I am not a fan of print leggings but those floral ones are just calling my name!
p.s. Your front door was inspiration for the door to my apartment 🙂 Love color!
Messy hair and leggings are my life 🙂 I need to get some more printed ones.
Love it! http://www.hannamarielei.com
Hahahhaa, I love this. As a fellow pear-shaped girl, you do you! Don’t let the Internet tell you not to wear those textures pants *snaps* But also, those shoes are the cuuuutest.

I LOVE the skirt and shoes, too!
Totally love your floral leggings Emma and those white tops are gorgeous.
Love,

I think your Work Wears posts are some of my favorite ABM posts of all, Emma! It is so much fun to see what you wear day to day, and it’s nice to get style inspiration from a lady with a similar body type to mine! Hope you have a great weekend.
you look great in all the photos

Great post! You made me smile a lot. I feel like I got to know a bit more of your personality : ) And BTW – tell the internet to suck it. You look great in those textured pants.
Love your look and the rant!

Beautiful. Thanks for the tips 🙂
Love the outfits. Now you have to tell us how you get that hair.
Just the right amount of humor to jump start my day! Thanks Emma. I love the shoes on the second outfit too but the 3rd one’s really comfy and chic. It’s hard to pick a favorite so I’ll just have them all. Haha!

Your hair looks great!

Love the hair ‘look’. Also just love the doors, especially the yellow and white one. Fantastic idea.
Adorable outfits and I love your blue door and mat, so cute x

She is the best right? Also, Emma I think that you’re hair like this are far more better than any done-hair-look. You are so efforlessly cool. Too cool basically. 🙂

I also have to wear comfy clothes half of the week (I say have to, but I mean want to). I work part-time from home and always gravitate towards my insanely comfy Uniqlo heat tech leggings, my ZARA leggings, or my COS tracksuit bottoms. I live in these three.
I also have to time for doing my hair. I prefer the look of tousled hair anyway.
Thanks for the post, love it!

This is definitely a timely post!!! I was SO slammed at work I couldn’t wash my hair for 4 days…I dumped a ton of baby powder in it, and it actually looked amazing!! I was able to braid it with no flyaways and before that it stayed perfectly straight. Less effort = WIN!!

Such cute outfits! The last one is my favorite! P.S. Messy hair forever 🙂
Your hair is perfect! I love this hairstyle. I have quite long hair now and it’s ombre too and I just love it.

I love all three of these outfits! They are all super cute. I love the messy hair look too and wear it quite often. It could be because I’m…ahem…lazy.

I’m all about this look. My hair feels best when I wear it like this, and I’m not too busy worrying if it’ll hold or misbehave ha. It just does its thang. Glad you’re liking it. xo

I like the messy hair look!
I work in an office where we can where what we want which is great but can lead to me being very lazy and going in like a tramp lol, this post gave me inspiration thank you

Your hair looks great! Will there be an acompanying tutorial? I hope so. I think the messy hair look is a bit harder to achieve for us longer haired gals, especially since I have minimal natural wave. I’ve been experimenting with the ‘twist your hair up at night’ thing which pinterest seems to be obsessed with. The end result is lovely, but it looks too put together to be called messy hair.
Much love,

love the outfits and you’re hilarious
I pretty much rock the ‘messy hair’ look every single day at work…because I never brush my hair :p Loving those lilac shoes!

Love!
Ha, if my hair looked like that when I didn’t do anything to it, I don’t think I’d ever bother styling it!
I only just discovered A Beautiful Mess, so glad I did. I’m loving your writing style!

Ahahah! I love your doors! Ps: I’ve always messy hair…everytime I style them, they come back like before! DOH! Anyway I never stop styling them looking at this blog ;P
You are beautiful! I do the same thing with shoes in the winter – I just refuse to wear boots from December-March!
Warm Regards,
Alexandra
