A Week in Work Wear


Happy Monday friends! At some point over the last few years my closet staples have transitioned from more “going out” looks to things that could be worn to both the office and out with friends or a date night. I wanted to share 5 looks I wore over the last week. I’ll probably do this again in the Spring when the temperature allows me to play with some of my outfits a bit more! The only full length mirror in this post is from the bathroom at work – so apologies for that! To give some background, I work for a financial services firm in marketing / business development and while I have meetings daily, they’re internal so I can be a bit more business casual. 

What to wear to work, what to wear for an interview, business casual work wear







Monday 




This ruffle top is sadly sold out at both J.Crew and Nordstrom, but I think the style is so popular it will be back in some form soon. I’m still as obsessed as ever with my Jessica Simpson animal print heels. I get a lot of questions about how comfortable they are for walking and I don’t know what kind of witchcraft they made these shoes with, but they are incredibly comfortable and I wear them for 9+ hours! 







Tuesday 


I’m really not afraid to wear patterns or bold colors and this leopard teddy sweater (sold out, but similar here)  is a favorite of mine. I paired it with my scalloped ankle pants (similar pair here) and a skinny belt withpatent pointy toe heels. 











Wednesday 


This is actually one of my go to work looks. You may remember this look from Christmas and it’s one of my favorite work looks as well! The velvet pants really elevate the outfit. The top is an oldie from Ann Taylor (similar here), but again, theanimal print heels come in for the win! 







Thursday 




I had an event after work so I popped this new white house black market boot skirt with a plain black long sleeved top with my booties. My sister bought this skirt first and after seeing her wear it, I knew I had to have it! If I was going out I would have worn my taller boots, but for work I opt for my black booties







Friday


I got a bit more casual on Friday’s to the office and opted for a chunky sweater that I bought in Ireland last year (similar here) with the sloan skinny fit pantsin red! The leopard flats are always a fun pop around the office! 



I’m clearly a fan of the ankle cut pants and I just purchased these slim tie pencil pants from loft over the weekend!! I do have a ton of wrap dresses & skirts, but the week I was doing these photos happened to be one of our coldest weeks, so there was no way I could trek to work in tights! What’s your work style like?

    I love how you styled these. I'm all about navy! Sometimes I miss wearing business casual, but it is pretty awesome to jump out of bed and put b scrubs on every day!

    Nice to see a week's outfit that are really worn outside for work. The pink lace top and chunky sweater are for the win.

    Love, love, love you're cute outfits. I would wear them all weather permitting…I have so many cute heels but always opt for flats for work, boring I know but I prefer comfort. I admire the ladies who can walk a full day in heels.

    Ahhh, I love posts like this and LOVE all of the cute outfits you put together! I'm such a fan of classic looks but with a pop, like you added to so many. I have to admit, I miss getting dressed for work. πŸ™‚ You look amazing, momma!

    I love this post! It is so nice to see someone real sharing work outfits. By that, I mean, most fashion bloggers share their "work clothes" and they are wearing absolutely ridiculous things I would NEVER wear to work. Or ever. Or, they are dressed in jeans looking like they are going to a concert and not the office. We cant wear jeans at my office, it is very professional. But I could wear most of what you have on in these pictures. I struggle so hard with work clothes inspiration sometimes. Ann Taylor is Loft are my go to stores. I can only wear heels about once a week, the rest I have to do small wedge and flats. Old feet over here!
