Work to weekend: Two pieces two ways

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.

Why and how to shop second hand online

I recently purchased this scarf from Poshmark. I needed something with some red to bookend outfits when I wear these red shoes. After exhausting my search at thrift stores and other online and in store retailers, I turned to Poshmark. It's actually something I should do more often. 

How to wear a colored blazer to work

I guess I could have picked something different for today's post, since I just posted a similar color rain coat on Monday. However, I actually wore this teal color blazer to work back in February.

9 to 5 Style - Ultra Violet

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 I chose the Pantone Color of the Year Ultra Violet as our theme. I won't say it's my absolute favorite color, as I can take it or leave it, but I thought you might like to see some ways to wear it in your work wear as the color of the year always seems to receive lots of hype. 

Winter jewel tones

I like wearing jewel tones in the winter, but have not incorporated them much this season. After seeing some inspiration from Stylin in St. Louise  and hi sugarplum, I decided to it was time to bring them back into my winter attire. 

Back to basics

Adding some color

Rust and teal seem like such a wild card pairing, but apparently The Limited thought it worked when they added this blouse to their line.

Work to weekend: One cardigan, Two ways

Today's work to weekend look is all about a long burgundy cardigan that I originally bought as a weekend piece. I've recently been rethinking it, and I decided it would be a great work piece too.

Winter neutrals

A combination of neutrals always works. I paired camel and black here for a work outfit.

9 to 5 Style- boots

How did it get to be the third week of January already?! 

This month Jennie chose boots as our theme. If you work in a super casual office, then you can get away with boots a lot easier than if you work in a conservative environment. For a conservative environment, you need to choose a sleeker boot with a heel, and not too many buckles or hardware. The easiest way to wear boots to the office is with a skirt or dress.

9 to 5 Style- Holiday office attire

When the holiday season rolls around I like to dress in festive outfits, but a conservative office dress code means I can't go over the top with Christmas sweaters and such. So how do you dress festively for the office? Jennie and I are here to show you how with this month's edition of 9 to 5 Style.

What to wear to the office holiday daytime party

We tend to have our office holiday parties during the day time, usually at lunch. Even though the rest of my day is spent doing normal work things and my attire has to fit work, I still want to look a little festive for the parties.

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.

This month we are showing you how to wear leopard print to the office. I love leopard and it's pretty much a neutral. It definitely can be worn to the office when paired with the right 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.

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 essential white button down

Read most any list of wardrobe essentials and it will likely include the classic white button down shirt. But is it really a must have?

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.
