Black & White

Yesterday I had a couple of meetings at work so I wanted to be a little bit more formal, however when it comes to wearing a suit I can never be traditional. When I interview or if I have meetings with executives I will typically go for a standard black suit with a colorful blouse to give it a little bit of flare, but on a day-to-day basis I am just not a suit person! I think my style should always reflect my personality and I have always found ways to dress work appropriately without being stuffy. Below I am wearing basically all new items that I purchased this weekend s they should mostly be available still. I went shopping crazy this weekend so I have plenty of purchases to share!

Blazer: H&M; Blouse: Zara (Old); Necklace: Express; Pants: J. Crew

Bold Colors

Top: Forever 21 (Old); Pants: Express; Necklaces: Baublebar & Personalized Necklace Shop on Etsy; Boots: Old

I love wearing fun BOLD colors during winter and love color blocking. I am pretty prone to only wearing black and gray during the winter but I am trying to break the habit and wear more colors that stand out. This shirt from Forever is super fun and and design is surprisingly flattering! I also decided to break out my monogrammed necklace. I haven't worn it in a while and it is definitely one of my favorite gifts from my boyfriend.

I have been playing with a ton of new make-up products that I plan to talk about in tomorrow's blog post. With this look, because I was playing with some major colors in my wardrobe, I wanted to go with a pretty neutral make-up palette. Don't want to discuss the products too much since I plan to talk about them a lot tomorrow so stay tuned!

Slightly Casual

Sweater: Anthropologie (On Sale!); Pants: J. Crew Factory; Booties: DSW (Brand is UNISA); Headband: Anthropologie

Okay truly, I don't wear my hair up as often as you have seen it up this week. I am trying to give it a little rest from all the blow drying/straightening/curling because it has been feeling incredibly dry. However, my newest shampoo discovery (Aveeno Nourish & Shine) has been working WONDERS! I will talk about that in another blog post.

Today, to be totally honest, I really felt like being more comfortable. The weather isn't great and I wanted to be comfy and cozy. I didn't have any big meetings today so I decided to go for it! This sweater is so warm and fun. It is incredibly itchy but totally worth the pain. My new booties I just bought this weekend. I had never heard of the brand before but I loved the hardware on them.

Pop of Cheetah

Sweater: Loft (Old, Similar Here); Cheetah Blouse: Target; Skirt: J. Crew ( Old, Similar Here); Bag: Michael Kors (No longer sold, Similar Here); Heels: G by Guess; Bracelets: J. Crew, Kate Spade; Watch: Fossil (Old); Nails: Essie; Glasses: Dolce & Gabbana; Headband: Anthropologie 

For a fun twist, I love adding a pop of animal print. Cheetah print is, of course, my favorite. This blouse from Target is still on the website and is only $19.99. Such a steal. It looks super cute over jeans and leggings as well because it is a longer top. 

I also choose to wear my hair back for work a lot because it is much easier when you are looking at a computer all day. When I do, I love to style my up-do with a fun headband. I have talked about how much I love headbands by Anthropologie before. That is where this one is from!

The Tissue Turtleneck

Turtleneck: J. Crew; Skirt: Loft (Color Sold Out: Same Style Here); Necklace: Baublebar (Sold Out); Shoes: Tory Burch; Jacket: Joules (Sold Out, Similar Here)

As you can see, I love being a little colorful at work. Most of my work wardrobe consists of fun colored skirts and pants. I hate wearing boring colors and suits to work (obviously if I need to dress up, I will) but I love being fun with my work wardrobe and have always received compliments from co-workers. 

I definitely think the J. Crew Tissue Turtleneck is a staple for a girl's wardrobe and right now this one is on sale for $19.99. I wouldn't pass it up! I have it in various colors since they sell solids as well. Of course, every working girl also needs a pair...(or 2....or 3) of Tory Burch flats. Her flats are pricey but SO worth it. They're classy, comfortable and great quality.
