Office Style: Made You Blush

I haven't posted my office style on here much, so I decided to take some pics of my outfit yesterday. Blazers with pencil skirts and sheath dresses are pretty much my "uniform" for work. Occasionally, I throw in some slacks (you, know when it's time to shave :). I find that maintaining a standard wardrobe pairing helps keep my mornings less hectic, but I try to keep things interesting with the details. On this day, I paired a skirt I scored at the hidden gem known as JC Penny with a white tank and blush blazer. The gold asymmetrical zipper and cute but subtle split made all the difference with this skirt... and as I stated in previous posts, I love asymmetrical pieces and unique hems. The blush blazer and pumps added more feminine touches and when all put together, made for a professional yet still stylish outfit. I definitely recommend filling your closet with neutral blouses, tanks, and blazers. Blazers always add a little more polish to a look, and neutral tops make pairings easier and more versatile. Hope this gives you a little office style inspo! Check out the deets below.

Blues Clues

I have a love/hate relationship with jumpsuits. They are a great one piece alternative to dresses, but the proportions can sometimes get tricky for people like myself who lack supermodel legs and have short torsos. I found this one last year at Forever 21, and though it's dimensions aren't perfect, the color is amaze balls (this bright hue is my fave to wear), and with a few adjustments, I make it work. The adjustable straps provide a little assistance. Getting this tailored to be taken in at the waist and hemmed a few inches would be ideal. Since I've been too lazy to make those adjustments to a $20 jumpsuit, I typically wear heals, and take advantage of a few strategic pins. On this day, it served it's purpose for a quick and casual brunch with the girls. I couldn't bring myself to wear heels though and opted for cute sandals. Get into the details and similar items below. Happy Friday!

Leather Tees and Skinny Jeans

I wonder who first thought to upgrade the ultimate staple, the t-shirt, into an edgy little statement item just by adding a little leather (or in this case, faux leather). Genius. It took me a while to find one that worked for me, so when I found this one, I got it in white and black. They pair really well with skinny/straight leg pants and pencil skirts. For this look, I added skinny jeans and my new fave strappy sandals for a a cute casual look. Taken on a weekend while visiting my folks, I also got to take advantage of cute country landscapes for my background... they just add a happier feel to my photos in my opinion. Check out the outfit details below, and ignore the sinking heel in the grass pics... didn't want to cooperate :). Have an amazing week!
