5 Pieces for a Chic Office Look

There are five key pieces of clothing that will create a chic office look every time. I'm wearing them in the outfit below: a cardigan + printed shell/cami/tank/top+ pencil skirt+ pumps+polished earring.

It's my Loft suit again. I love having a good staple suit in my wardrobe. I also love when I see an outfit that gives me inspiration to pair pieces in my closet and I don't have to purchase a piece to complete the look. This was the case with this Limited look.

I didn't post yesterday. I took a day off to finish some Christmas stuff and made myself stay away from the computer so I would actually get the things done. I never made it back to post. But I'm please to say we are so much closer to being done with the Christmas "stuff". And don't get me wrong- I love CHRISTmas but I grow more and more weary of the traditions just because they are traditions and the rush and the extra work the "holiday" season creates. Christ was born in a manger- so simple. Why can't it be more like that now?

I need to look at replacing this suit. It is several years old and has faded, but lasted long enough for the price paid. My shirt is an old piece too but still going strong. I don't know why I never thought to wear it with this suit, but this is a first. This shirt was the perfect match for my shoes.

Navy goes with so many other colors. This time I paired it with a teal shirt and layered a turquoise and blue necklace over the ruffles. I also wore a brown belt and shoes- normally I would have went with black.

This is another one of my "go to" suits. It's all matchy matchy, but I change it up with different shirts and accessories. Sometimes all you need is a great statement necklace or large pendant.

I've worn this suit many times. It is a frequent go to for me. This is the blouse I originally bought to wear with it, but I have since mixed it with numerous blouses. You've seen the blouse before here and the suit here.
