9-5 Style

As many of you know, I have now been working for about a month and a half and have really begun to appreciate the versatility of good work clothes. Since I would rather splurge on “fun” clothes, finding something I can wear many ways to the office is key. This skirt from Ann Taylor Loft is exactly what I am talking about. Its shape and primarily dark color make it office appropriate; however, the slight pops of color in the stitching and ruffled pockets give it a feminine touch. I also love how this skirt can easily transition from summer to winter. Holding on to the last days of “summer” – if that even exists now that I’m working- I paired this skirt (similar) with a bright yellow blouse to brighten up the outfit. However, as the weather gets cooler, I will be pairing it with a sweater or blazer. Do you have any favorite work clothes? Please share as I’m always looking for my next great piece!

Updated Classics

When I think of a navy dress and a denim jacket, the word classic comes to mind. Despite all the fads that come and go, these are two items that always remain in style. What I love most about this look is this After Pant’s Paris jacket I snagged at Gregory’s a couple years ago. The jacket maintains the same all-American look of denim, but the padded shoulders gives it an updated twist – see this similar one I found for the look for less. I paired it with this fun and flirty seamed skirt dress for drinks in the Arts District with a girlfriend.
