As part of the Japanese Business Law class I was taking in Tokyo this summer, we got to visit their patent office and Supreme Court. I welcomed the opportunity to get out of the classroom but the intense heat and humidity of Tokyo summers was making it a little difficult to enjoy wearing business attire. My clerkship in Seoul presented the same challenge of having to dress for the office in the most unconducive weather conditions. I quickly simplified my looks to a light blouse over a silk camisole and a pencil skirt. A sacrifice of one layer needed to be made in the interest of preserving my sanity

Toronto weather has been really beautiful lately so I’ve been keeping my looks short and feminine. This light Robbie & Nikki blouse is actually an unusually awkward length; a little two short to be worn as a dress and too long as a top unless it’s tucked in. I love its sheer delicate chiffon and how it drapes over the shoulders so I was determined to make it work during my visit. Thankfully I remembered about my old vintage skirt and threw it into the suitcase last minute. The gold and black combo is timeless, classic, and easy to put together.

I took a break from studying on Saturday and dropped by a few stores for some necessities. That was by far the most guilt-induced shopping experience I’ve ever had. All I could think about was doing more practice question and memorizing cases. I guess shopping will have to wait until winter break…talk about self discipline
