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.

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!

Hello and Happy Monday. It's the start of a brand new week and it's also time for 9 to 5 Style. I chose hot pink blazers as our topic for this month's theme. I can't wait to see how Jennie has styled hers.

Old Navy haul- try on session

Happy Saturday! Instead of my usual round up I thought I'd share my recent Old Navy haul with you in the form of a try on session. Excuse the dirty mirror, messy room and wet hair. This is real life.

First up is the crochet lace yoke shift dress. It's a cute dress in a perfect color for fall. It's thin but perfect for our warm falls. My only complaint is that it's tight under the arms and has a weird fit due to the crochet top going over part of the sleeve. I'm wearing a small but might try a medium if my store has one. Other than the underarms, it fits well.



Here's the back and a close up of the texture of the top.



Hello there sweatshirt- Definitely a keeper. Super soft, not too thick and not too slouchy. Wearing a small.


Floral midi skirt- yes I layered over the dress. I wish it had pockets but it's a cute skirt with lots of potential.


Flutter sleeve waisted midi- it's longer than a midi on me. I ordered it in a regular because petite wa not available. This dress is lined and I love the sleeves. I'm undecided about the length. It would probably look better on me the length of the above skirt. 




Open front tassel hem cardigan- small. The sleeves are snug on this and they don't layer well over other tops but might work well with tanks and sleeveless tops. I'm on the fence about it. The tassels tend to get tangled together too.


Happy Shopping!

Summer work attire and Five for Friday


I shamelessly admitted on Wednesday that I copied an outfit straight from Pinterest, and today I'm not afraid to admit that I copied this summer work outfit from a fellow blogger, Jo-Lynne Shane. I don't have the exact same pieces, but they are very similar and I was happy to be able to recreate this outfit from my closet.
