9 to 5 Style- leopard print


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 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.

Blush and burgundy for work

I bought these pants last year and this top either last year or early this year. I spent most of last fall crushing on a blush top, but had to find one that would fit the bill for work. I specifically wanted to wear these two colors together, but I can't remember if I did or not after finally getting the 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.

How to wear a leopard print pencil skirt to work

This is a pretty basic office look: pencil skirt, shell/tee, blazer, pumps. But this look isn't boring because the pencil skirt is leopard print.

Fall work wear

Burgundy is one of my go to colors for fall work wear. It's a classic fall color and still stays on the conservative side.

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.

You last saw me wear this suit as an all neutral look with leopard pumps. This time I picked a blouse with fall colors and played up the burgundy.

How to wear plaid to the office- 9 to 5 Style


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.

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.

Camel and grey

As soon as fall and winter rolls around, I break out my camel blazer. Even though it's still quite warm, I didn't waste any time breaking it out this year.







Blazer- JCrew Factory
shirt- Nordstrom  option
pants- Loft  option  option
shoes- Payless
necklace- Rocksbox try for free code FONDABFF


I love pairing camel with grey, and I was really pleased with the pop of burgundy with this. You can get a lot of mileage out of a camel blazer, whether you work in a conservative office environment or a more relaxed environment. It's perfect with jeans and a top for fall. I highly recommend you add a camel blazer to your closet. This is my second one.

 I bought this leopard print  top back during the summer. I bought it on sale and with coupons and only paid around $6 for it.

Navy, khaki and cognac


As I end summer and start transitioning to fall, I tend to switch to outfits that are more neutral or non-seasonal. A combo of navy, khaki, and cognac makes for one of those outfits.

The formula that always works

Cardigan- Loft  option  option
skirt- JCP
shoes- Payless  option  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.

Nautical


I couldn't help but wear a nautical look one more time before summer officially ends. This is also a version of one of my 10X10 outfits.

Power suit with pink and coral



You've seen this suit before, and you know I love a good power suit. You also know I love to bring color into my office attire, so this top, suit and these shoes are the perfect mix for me.

Red, white and navy


This red, white and blue look is not your typical patriotic look. It's just a good blend of the three colors in a work wear outfit.
