Is this dress too short for work?

(H&M Dress, Doma Leather Jacket, Madewell Boots)

While I do live in California, in San Francisco no less, and work for a creative-minded company, there comes a time when I have to ask myself: Is this dress too short for work? To make this dress more work appropriate, I think opaque black tights, or even leggings, would have been a better choice - but I just can't quite sacrifice my style for that.

Do you think this is too short for work?

Combining Trends: Pastels & Mixed Prints

(Equipment Blouse, Similar Jeans, Madewell Boots)

First of all, how crazy is the fog behind me. Yup - that's fog - welcome to San Francisco. Anyways, back to the outfit. Combining two of-the-moment trends can easily be overwhelming. By picking one, more subtle trend that you're completely comfortable with (like pastels) and adding another (like mixed prints), the process can be less intimidating; and the result less psychotic looking. :)

What two trends would you try to combine?
