Happy Monday! I've had a nice relaxing weekend, and it's time to get back to work. Spring is finally here, but we are not sweating yet, and I'm not complaining. I'm sharing a coral and grey office outfit with you today. It's bright and cheery and perfect for the office during the Spring season.

Baby, blue ain't your color

Blue looks good on the sky, looks good on that neon buzzin' on the wall, but darling it don't match your eyes (Keith Urban lyrics). 

The formula that always works

Cardigan- Loft  option  option

skirt- JCP

top- Calvin Klein/Macy's

shoes- Payless  option  option

bracelets- Gorjana, Alex and Ani,  option

earrings- Nordstrom (sold out) option

necklace- Kendra Scott

I usually pick out my outfit for work the night before. Sometimes, however, I just don't have time, or I am just too tired. This was one of those nights and mornings. I didn't pick out anything and was running short on time for ironing, so I took a quick look around the closet and came out with this. Thanks to Classy Yet Trendy's ebooks, this was pretty much a no brainer. The cardigan was worn during the spring for many of my outfits that I put together from the Workwear Capsule Wardrobe: Spring 2017.  I definitely recommend checking out the ebooks for fall- Essential capsule, French minimalist, and work wear, even if you don't follow them to the letter as a capsule. So in a pinch, grab a cardigan, top, and pencil skirt. Add some accessories. Done.

SO... I've been displaced for four days now due to Irma. I think our property has fared okay, just more fences and trees down. Not sure about the inside- we took in water during Matthew last year in a couple of rooms through the windows. We took extra precautions this year, so we will see, when we are finally allowed back. I'm on four days with my in-laws who have never been my favorite people. I'm gracious for a safe place to be, but really? what happened to disciplining children and pets? We have our dog and she minds well. No she is not comfortable with her situation, but she will quieten down when we tell her to. I've had to listen to another dog bark in the house with us for nearly 24 hours and her owner refused to even say anything to her "because it won't do any good". ???? "The dog is just in a strange place and we will have to get used to it." What? I'm in a strange place too. Can't wait to go back to peace and quite even if it's wet.

9 to 5 Style - Florals for the office

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!

 

Jennie and I have welcomed Carrie of A Stylish Fit to this collaboration, so be sure to check out her post too. This month we are styling florals for the office.

belt- thrifted option

shoes- Payless  option  option

necklace- JCrew Factory

earrings- Sears option

bracelets- JCP/ Ann Taylor  option option

 

I  consider this blouse strictly a spring/ summer piece, but  I couldn't resist wearing it one more time. Paired with black pants and the olive cardigan, it makes a nice transition outfit from summer to fall.

 

I'm so glad this short week is over. I probably shouldn't even say that, just be grateful it was a short week, but things are getting busy again. Hope you had a good week. Enjoy the weekend.

A little more white

White linen blazer- Calvin Klein via Belk

cowl neck top- Banana Republic (old)  option  option

skirt- Nordstrom on sale  option

shoes- Payless  option

necklace- online boutique  option

lips - Revlon- Coffee Bean

 

I will definitely be wearing white after Labor Day, but maybe not this blazer. I wore this outfit to work last week. This is a linen blazer, so I may retire it for the season once the calendar says fall, but I will continue to wear my heavier weight white blazer and white jeans. (This blazer is vanilla, not bright white, so it's a good choice for year round wear.)

 

While red, white and blue is definitely a summer color combo, I find it to be neutral enough to wear year round.  I'm pairing my blazer with my red skirt purchased during the Nsale. (FYi, it's on sale for cheaper than the Nsale price. I'm beginning to think  either I suck at Nsale shopping or it's the sale is a rip off. This is the second piece this has happened with.)  You've already seen one outfit with it here. This is definitely going to be a year round piece for me. It will pair nicely with a sweater and boots this winter.

Oldies but goodies

Blazer- Forever 21  option    option  option

blouse- Poshmark  option  option   option

pants- TJMaxx  option  option

necklace- Poshmark  option  option

earrings- JCPenney  option

shoes- Payless  option  option

 

I've worn all of these pieces before (coral blazer here), but I'm not sure I've shared them together. I love this butterfly print top I found on Poshmark and it has paired nicely with so many other pieces in my wardrobe, both for casual and work wear. You just can't beat a great print.

 

Are you shopping the Nordstrom sale? I'm not a cardholder, so I'll be waiting until public access, but you can shop now if you have a card, credit or debit linked to your bank account.

 

Currently I'm eating.... lots of summer fruit. First it was blueberries, and now I've moved on to watermelon and cherries. We also eat lots of bananas year round. I haven't had any this week and I think I'm going into DTs, lol. What are you currently eating?

Hello and Happy Monday! No I'm not all that happy about it being Monday, but a long weekend is coming. I'm that person that gets dreadful on Sunday evening because it's over and I didn't get everything done over the weekend that I needed or wanted to do. But I can't change that, so I may as well embrace it for what it is- another week, a fresh start.

 

Let's start this one talking about summer work wear. I find it difficult to still look professional and stay appropriately dressed. Sleeveless items aren't allowed in my office and dresses and skirts don't always fit in with the activities of my day. And the AC inside can get somewhat cold. We've been having 100 degree days as well, so I really don't want to be in stuffy work wear. I've been pushing through it with lighter and brighter colors. This blazer is one of my favorites for summer. This blouse/shell is sleeveless so it works well with a blazer in the summer. That tends to be one of my tricks for summer work wear- sleeveless blouse under a blazer or cardigan.

 

How do you dress for work in the summer?
