Good morning. Hope your week is going well so far. Today I'm showing you how I wore a sweater and neck scarf for work and play.

I'm featuring a navy polka dot top for work to weekend looks. I used to almost exclusively wear this top for work, but decided to use it for some casual looks in my GYPO Spring Capsule. 

I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore

9 to 5 Style - Trench coats

Welcome to 9 to 5 Style! The third  Monday of every month Jennie of A Pocketful of Polka Dots and I will showcase a theme featuring our individual takes on a professional look. Our aim is to inspire and show professional style does not have to mean boring and without personality. We hope you enjoy our 9 to 5 Style!

This month's theme is trench coats. I featured them in my "5 Spring Jackets You Should Consider" post. They make a great spring layer for those of you that still need the layers in spring. For us, it is usually warm in the spring (83 degrees on Sunday as I prepare this post) so I don't own a trench coat. I do, however, own a sleeveless trench that allows me to have the same vibes without being too warm, so I have styled my sleeveless trench for you. ( If I were to get a regular trench coat, I'm swooning over this gingham trench.)

Classic black suit with stripes

A classic black suit should be in the closet of every business woman or woman who works in a professional office environment. When I don't know what to wear to work, or don't want to think about it, my black suit is my go to. This one is one the verge of needing to be replaced. It has seen a lot of wear. I've posted many outfits with it, but also refrained from posting it many times. Sometimes it seems too boring. But sometimes it's  good to have a reminder that it's okay to dress in classics.

I picked this blouse up on a whim a few months ago, but hey, it's stripes! And it adds a new twist to my black suit. I can't find it online now, but I've linked up some options.

Two ways to wear leopard print to the office

Leopard print has become an accepted neutral. It's earthy tones pair well with most other colors and it's also a great pattern for pattern mixing. It can also easily be worn to the office, even a conservative office like mine. The key is in picking structured, classic pieces. Here are two ways to wear leopard print to the office.

How to wear teal and orange to the office

Blazer- old  option option

top- Ann Taylor option

pants- JCPenney  option  option

necklace- Target  option option option

shoes- DSW option option

Wear them together, of course. That's how to wear teal and orange to the office. Choose your orange in a nice rust shade for fall vibes. Pair a rust jacket and teal trousers, and keep the top or tee simple and plain. Add some accessories that tie it all together. 

Have you paired these colors before? For a more casual outfit, try teal skinny jeans and an orange tunic. Add a blue or teal beaded necklace, leopard booties and you've got a super cute casual fall outfit.

Polka dots, pinstripes and pearls

Happy Thanksgiving! It's time to bring on the turkey and pumpkin pie. I hope you have some time off to relax too. Our work always gives us the Friday after, and I'm beyond thankful for that extra day. If you do have to go back to work soon, then maybe this outfit will inspire you to play a little and relax your attire just a bit. I paired polka dots and pinstripes for a playful office look. Some faux pearls keep it polished.

Blush and burgundy for work

I bought these pants last year and this top either last year or early this year. I spent most of last fall crushing on a blush top, but had to find one that would fit the bill for work. I specifically wanted to wear these two colors together, but I can't remember if I did or not after finally getting the pieces. 

Hot pink and navy

Navy is a great neutral that pairs nicely with brights. One of my favorite brights to pair with navy is hot pink.

You last saw me wear this suit as an all neutral look with leopard pumps. This time I picked a blouse with fall colors and played up the burgundy.

Sometimes it's fun to create an outfit from just one color. As much as I like color, every now and then I like a toned down look. This mix of greys came together nicely for me.

Leopard print for work

 I bought this leopard print  top back during the summer. I bought it on sale and with coupons and only paid around $6 for it.

Touches of snakeskin

Navy, khaki and cognac

As I end summer and start transitioning to fall, I tend to switch to outfits that are more neutral or non-seasonal. A combo of navy, khaki, and cognac makes for one of those outfits.
