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!
I've styled this a few ways in the past, with both pants and skirts. One way that I had yet to wear this was with a bold stripe. I had almost decided to get rid of this piece because it doesn't get as much wear as I think it should, but this outfit has renewed my interest in this piece. I love the light khaki against the navy and with the bold stripes, so maybe I will be trying this with every striped top I own, lol. This would certainly look chic with a black stripe top and black pants and a red heel or shoe.
Be sure to check out Jennie's fabulous look!
Hope you all have a fabulous week! If you need some work wear ideas on the business casual side, check out GYPO Spring Work Wear Capsule. You will get 16 mix and match outfits and a shopping list of 24 pieces. If you need more, the GYPO Spring 2018 Capsule is still open for registration, and while the outfits are casual, you will get dress up tips to create dressier outfits from the prompts.

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.)
