What I Wore To Work

I am a creature of habit when it comes to having outfit “formulas.” As you all know, my go=to in undergrad was a cardigan, blouse, and jeans for fall/winter. And for summer it was shorts and a cute blouse, a romper, or a dress. So, it was inevitable that I would end up with outfit “formulas” when I started working.

I think in mystical dream land, I envisioned myself wearing pencil skirts a lot more than I do. I’ll throw dress and blazer combo in there, or a button down top and pencil skirt combo once in a while, but my most common outfit combo is this:

blazer + cute blouse + slim leg work pants + heels

OR, if I’m feeling casual (which I did 2x this week)

cardigan + cute blouse + slim leg work pants + heels

So, since all of you asked, I decided to share with you what I wore this week. My office is business casual and I think I’ve done a pretty damn great job at being trendy but also professional.

I didn’t take pictures of the bottoms and I’m ready to change into comfortable clothes when I get home, so I took selfies (insert shrugging girl emoji here). I think in my dreams, I’d have a super cool coworker that would take pictures of my outfits for me, and that we wouldn’t get fired. ANYWAYS, here we go!

MONDAY:

Monday is usually the busiest day of the week. I paired a floral orange tee with a 3/4 sleeve burgundy blazer. It made for a chill, but still chic look that was tied together perfectly by the complementary colors.

TUESDAY:

This was the first time I wore a cardigan to work. I love this bright colored cardigan from Banana Republic because of the subtle detailing on the armpit area (sorry there was no other way I could describe that). I paired it with an embroidered top that was super matchy matchy for a monochromatic look.

WEDNESDAY:

I had a big meeting on this day so I wore my nice neutral blazer on Wednesday. The neutral color paired perfectly with the green floral top I wore. I love the floral print of this top and how I was able to tone it down a little with the blazer.

THURSDAY:

I paired a pretty, delicate floral printed top with a pale blue cardigan for a comfy but chic look. Around mid-week we all tend to get a little more casual with our business casual looks. More casual business than business casual. I love how cute and feminine the floral top is and how pretty the print is.

FRIDAY:

Tomorrow is casual friday, so I didn’t think it was necessary to include it in this post.
