Office Style: Staples

I'm back with another office style post!  When you want to wear all black but keep it interesting, it's all about the accessories.  Let's be real, sometimes you just don't feel like putting an outfit together, and you're doing well just to make it to work.  What if I told you that you don't have to look like it though?  The key to making outfit creation effortless is building a solid base wardrobe and then getting some versatile accessories.  For this outfit, I paired black ankle pants with a black cami - about as simple as you can get, but they are good quality and fit well. Then I added an olive green jacket for contrast.  The loose fit and waist tie give added chic details.  And to kick it up another notch, I added these strappy pumps.  These pumps were one of my best pickups from Nine West (if I haven't told you before, they make some of the most comfortable shoes for the office).  They are jussst the right level of strappy for the workplace (there is a limit - cage sandals and shoes that tie around your leg my be just be too far).  Get into the details below! How do you pull it together on those rough mornings?

Winter White

Even though virtually no one follows it, there still seems to be concern from some people around the whole no white after labor day "rule".  Even my boyfriend recently asked the rationale behind that rule.  I don't know who created it and made winter white (more of a cream color) the acceptable hue for the colder months, but again, I say wear what you want.  In fashion there pretty much are no rules.  You wear what makes you feel good... but there are some styling tips that can help you to pull it off better.  For this outfit, I decided to pair white denim with an over-sized grey/taupe sweater and grey over the knee boots.  I love balancing silhouettes of a look, pairing tight jeans with a looser top.  Ultimately, I would have preferred non distressed jeans for this look, but the winter weight got the best of me and these were the only ones that fit :)  There's something about white in the winter time that just feels so refreshing - this is my winter white. How do ya'll wear white in the winter?
