Hi, I'm Franziska!

I'm a 25 year old graduate of the University of Wisconsin. I work in a pharmaceutical research lab, which requires me to wear an ugly white lab coat all day. Working in a laboratory does mean I need to follow certain safety rules: My legs have to be covered, I have to wear flat shoes and I have to wear a lab coat. This blog is a challenge for myself to not let my job constrain my joy for putting on new outfits.

I have recently been accepted to medical school, so in July I will pack up and move a few states over to start the long journey to becoming a doctor. Medical school will come with a whole new set of clothing  issues as I will be required to be in business casual clothing at all times. I'm excited to be able to wear heels and dresses again!

I have a slight obsession with polka dots, blazers, and scarves. I am consistently teased about the number of bangles I have on by the boys at work. I have a long standing romance with cardigans and riding boots. And although my hands are in gloves for most of the day, I like to make sure my nails have pretty colors on them.

Outside of the life of my closet, I live with my medical school boyfriend Chris and our two puppies, Hans and Baer. We like to cuddle, eat ice cream and go on long walks together.

  3. I just found your blog through Audrey's. I also work in a lab and got stuck in the mentality of "I wear a labcoat all day, might as well wear jeans and a t-shirt." I'm actively fighting to change that thought process and I look forward to reading your blog! Glad I found it!

  10. Hi Franziska
    I'm a visitor coming over from Sue and what a find your blog is. I have questions because I'm so darn curious but will read on in your blog but have to ask, how many states will you be moving?

    You have such an easy style and look so comfortable in all you wear and I love to hear that even though your hands are in gloves all day you still paint your nails ;-).

    Also, love the spelling of your name and it reminds of my daughters friend whose name was the spelt the same way when we lived in Germany.

    Hope you're having a fabulous weekend ... hugs from down in Africa.

    1. Hi Wendy!

      I will be moving 4 states over - to Pennsylvania actually! The weather will be pretty similar so no break from the snow for me ;)

      and thank you - my family is originally from Germany (I was born there) which is why it is spelled like that :)
