I’m probably in the minority on this, but I really love shopping for work wear. I have more clothes in my closet that I wear for work than what I could wear out on the weekends, but as with anything it’s time for a little refresh and I want to liven up some of my skirts, blouses and pants. I work in a business casual environment and like to have a nice rotation of clothes that are bold, but also those that I can get away with wearing for any season. The upside to working in a business casual office is that a lot of my pieces can be worn on the weekends which is a great return on investment for me! I also tend to hold onto clothes probably way past their prime, so here are some of the pieces I’m currently looking at!
- The puff sleeve sweater from H&M is one I already own and have paired with both ankle pants and jeans – it’s a really great staple for the wardrobe.
- I’m really happy that pleated skirts are still in for this year because I already have one in my closet and hope to add this one soon.
- Dresses are probably the easiest work wear staple for me, it’s one and done when getting dressed! I love anything wrap style because of how figure flattering it is, but also there’s something really fun and interesting about this one with all the buttons.
- Blazers are something that I haven’t utilized enough, but having one handy for a meeting that might pop up is necessary. I really like this Chanel inspired one and this multi pastel colored tweed one.
- This blouse is super chic and I love the color of this one!
Before finishing up today’s post, I have to give a special birthday shout out to Gary! He’s one of the most hardworking, loving and wonderful men in the world and we’re very lucky that he’s ours. We celebrated early with his parents this weekend and this is one of my favorite photos! I seriously wonder what Sophia is thinking – is it, “wow, fire!” or “Dad is really 39?!” or “YUM YUM YUM!” Which one get’s your vote?!

Happy Birthday to Gary! I love all of these pieces, that red skirt is so cute!
I really need to refresh my work wardrobe for spring! That bright orange skirt is speaking to me!!
I love work wear! That's the thing I miss the most about working! Haha. I know a lot of people dread getting dressed up, but I always loved it!
I am not a lover of work wear at all but a few of those pieces are super cute! I really love the stripped long sleeve and the pink top.
Obsessed with that bright orange skirt – LOVE when pieces work for both the office and the weekend. Happy happy birthday Gary! Love Sophia's face in that pic <3

Our dress code just got changed a few weeks ago to 'dress for your day' – which means I can wear jeans EVERY SINGLE DAY – not sloppy of course, but I'm ready to overhaul my wardrobe now!
Your taste is absolutely impeccable, Biana! I work from home now, and I'll admit that I wish (at times) I could dress for a work day haha but then I remember I enjoy sitting down to write in yoga pants and a hoodie 😉
Well work clothes have changed a lot over the years sometimes I wish it was a bit more strict again, I can not believe what some people wear to work sometimes. You of course have great taste 🙂

THE STYLE CONTOUR
Cute workwear pieces! i really like that tweed jacket! 🙂 I have a lot of workwear – I kept all my pieces from when i worked full time so I have more than I need (I only go into the office twice a week) but it's so fun to have. happy birthday to Gary! 🙂
Hope that your week is going well 🙂
Away From Blue
So many great work wear pieces, I'd argue a lot of these could be transitioned to the weekend, too! Hope you had fun celebrating Gary's birthday!

Happy birthday Gary!!! I love that pink dress that you found. I have something kind of similar, and it's actually one of my favorite spring pieces – color and all!
