How to wear teal and orange to the office

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. I receive commission for clicks and purchases made through them.

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.

The comfiest cardigan and 5 sales to shop this weekend

This is the best lightweight cardigan. It's soft and comfy. I also love the drawstring detail. Olive pairs up nicely with mustard (better than ketchup, lol).

5 essentials for a fall outfit

Happy Halloween! Hope you have a safe and fun day! Let's talk about five essentials for a fall outfit. No matter what climate you live in, there are some essentials that signify it's fall with your outfit. This particular outfit has them all.

Mustard print bell sleeve top

One of my Nordstrom Anniversary sale purchases was this mustard print bell sleeve top. I knew the material would be great for our warm falls. Fall has been a little slow coming so I just recently got a chance to wear it. Of course it's sold out now, but keep reading, I've linked up some cute options.

5 ways to wear red trousers

Red is one of Pantone's Fall 2017 colors. I'll admit I have a love/hate relationship with red. If you look through my Poshmark closet, you will see there is a lot of red for sale. I got tired of it. The one thing I did not get tired of was my red trousers. Red trousers are the perfect way to add a pop of color and still have a professional work outfit. For today's five for Friday, I'm sharing five ways to wear red trousers.

The perfect fall dress

The perfect fall dress is one that is floral and has some romantic detail like a flutter sleeve or ruffles. That's how I feel about this midi dress from Old Navy, and it's now less than $25!

How to wear plaid to the office- 9 to 5 Style

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!

It's my favorite Monday of the month- 9 to 5 Style with Jennie at A Pocketful of Polka Dots. This month we chose plaid as our theme.

Plaid can be a little tricky for a conservative office like mine. Most plaid shirts would be frowned upon at my work, so I have to stick to skirts, pants and shirt dresses in a more traditional subtle pattern. 

Cozy fall sale picks- Saturday Shopping

We took a little vacation in the mountains this week. I had visions of snuggling by a fire and drinking coffee while wrapped in a blanket all week. It didn't happen as the temps remained quite warm for the week.  It finally started to feel like fall the very last day, so I still have cozy things on my mind.  Express is having 40% off sale and Loft has sweaters and tops 40% off this weekend. Macy's is also taking 25% off purchases this weekend with code FRESH, so here are my picks from these sales. 

The perfect layer for a warm fall

A dark floral print kimono makes the perfect layer for a warm fall. I should also mention this one is less than $11!

A New Day floral scarf

I recently added this A New Day scarf from Target to my collection. I had vowed not to add another scarf this year because it doesn't really get cold enough to wear them, but this one was a perfect match to the one on the GYPO shopping list and with the outfits, so I knew it would go perfectly with my existing outfits. It's also light enough to get away with wearing it in warmer temps if I keep it away from my neck, as I did here. (I can't find this exact one online so I've linked up some similar scarves below.)

Plaid with trendy twists- Saturday shopping

Our faithful classic fall print plaid has some fun trendy twists to it this year. It now has ruffles, tie-front, bell sleeves, and comes in off shoulder options and more. I'v rounded up some fun plaid pieces with a twist for your Saturday shopping.

Easy fall outfit and 5 favorite posts of the week

A tee shirt and jeans is always an easy outfit. Take it up a notch for fall by pairing a lace tee with olive jeans and leopard sneakers.

Fringe cardigan

A cardigan is a classic piece to have and can function year round, but it's definitely a fall favorite. Add some fun details or twist to a classic and you've got a novelty basic. Your piece still functions like it's classic counterpart, but it's a lot more fun. This fringe trim cardigan fits that category, and it's perfect for my warm fall.

Cardigan- Old Navy  option  option  option  

tee- Old Navy  option  option 

jeans- JCPenney  option  option  

shoes- Piperlime (old)  option  option  option 

necklace- Harper and Jewels  option

earrings- Macy's  option  option

I've paired my favorite Old Navy tee with my favorite pair of jeans. These are still the softest jeans and they wear well and stay in place well. The fringe trim cardigan adds a modern update and another touch of trendiness. My cardigan has sold out but I've linked up some other fun options. I have this tee in burgundy and grey, and it's my favorite. I love it's loose fit and drape and it's perfect for tucking too.
