9 to 5 Style

Happy Spring ya'll! I'm so excited about today for more than one reason. I'm ready to wear full on spring fashion. Last week's cold spell was not fun. I had to pull out sweaters and I had mentally given up on cold weather so it was not fun. I usually struggle with spring fashion, but this year I've added a few new pieces to my closet and I'm excited to wear them. Spring is usually a very short season for us, and then it's full on hot and humid before the calendar even says summer, but we will see how this year goes.
 
Besides the fact that it's spring, I'm excited to introduce a new feature to the blog today. I've collaborated with Jennie from A Pocket Full of Polka Dots to bring you 9 to 5 Style every third Monday of the month. If you need office outfit ideas, or you are looking for new ways to style your office wear pieces, then check our new feature. We will be taking turns picking an item and we will both style it for you. I can't wait to see how this goes. I love Jennie's fun yet polished style and I can't wait to see how we will style the same pieces.
 
 
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!

Weekend sale picks

There are some great sales going on this weekend. It's a great time to snag some new releases and start thinking about spring. I know, I know spring may be a long way off for some of you but it seems like we skipped winter here so I'm looking on to spring. You can wear some of these pieces now and later.

Interjecting color





Cardigan- Tommy Hilfiger via Poshmark  option  option
blouse- thrifted  option  option
pants- Loft
shoes- TJMaxx  option  option  option 
bracelet-Charmed Stacks  option
necklace- via Poshmark  option
earrings- old  option   option
 
I know that I said yesterday that I had been wearing a lot of greys but I did interject some color one day recently. I love a pop of color like this pink against an otherwise neutral outfit. Sometimes you just need to brighten up a day.
 
Are you still shopping for gifts or have you wrapped it up? If you still need ideas, then check out my gift guides page. I also suggest a pair of timeless 14K gold hoops for a lady of any age. I've had mine for around 20 years now and I reach for them over and over, especially when I'm wearing a statement necklace and just need a simple earring.

blouse- Nordstrom  option 
pants- Loft  option  option  option
shoes- Payless  option  option   option   option
necklace- Loft  option  option
Belt- Target  option
bracelet- Jules Smith via Rocksbox (try it free for one month code FONDABFF)  similar
 
Some of you are having winter and snow, while we are having a humid 75-80 degree day. Nonetheless, my mind seems to have turned to winter palettes and I've been wearing a lot of burgundy and grey lately. Just beware, you will see a lot of this color in the days to come. 
 
I still have lots of holiday stuff to do so I'm cutting this short. I actually have extra stuff to do since one of hubbys items (gift) arrived opened and loose in the package. GRRR... Now I have to return it and wait on another.
 
I hope you are having a great week.

Long cardigan





Cardigan-   Old Navy      option option  option
striped tee- Target  option   option   option 
jeans- Loft
scarf- Target  option
booties- JCPenney  option  option   option 
 
Remember the long cardigans everyone was swooning over during the July Nsale? I bought one but found this one at Old Navy for less money and actually like it better. I try not to wear too long of layers due to my height, or lack of. I love the pockets on the front. This exact one doesn't seem to be available, but I've linked up it's twin and some other options.

Plaid and polka dots





Top- JCrew Factory  option
vest- Old Navy   option  option
jeans- Loft
boots- Clarke's  option   option
bracelet- Alex and Ani  option
earrings-JCPenney  option  option  option
 
I wore this a few weeks ago, but with the red plaid, it could easily be a holiday outfit. There are a ton of ways to style a vest, even a plaid one, so I'm looking forward to playing around with the vest again.  Vests are also a great option if you have milder winters like we do. And they make great gifts!

Thank you

THANK YOU to our veterans! Thank you for protecting the freedoms we have, to vote and to disagree. I must say I'm sorely disappointed at the actions of some in our country over this election. It is what it is, whether you agree or not. I don't think our veterans fought for you to have the right to show your behind. To disagree, yes, to be ugly, no. It's disrespectful. So for today, let's set it aside and be thankful we still live where we can vote.

Ad inspired



 
Blazer- Belks  option
blouse- JCPenney  option  option  option
pants- Loft
belt- Target option
shoes- Belk similar
 
This outfit was inspired by an outfit on The Limited's website. Even though none of these pieces are from The Limited, they had similar pieces paired together on their website. I love it when I see an outfit that I like and already have the pieces to make it work. I've worn this top and pants together with a red cardigan before too. It's amazing how a color change and a few accessory changes can make a whole new outfit from two base pieces.
 
Are you guys ready for the weekend? for Halloween?
