Work Wear Wednesday: Peplum Safari

Ah...work wear wenesday. I love to come up with new work looks. It's a delicate balance between style and practicality. Today's look is all about the blouse. This super cute (super old) leopard print peplum blouse is one of my favs! Last year I wrote a post about this piece and I had put it in my 'clothes to sell' pile, but I attempt to wear each item at least once and see if I'll change my mind. Long story short, this one snuck out of the pile and back into my closet. Sneaky little thing! I love pairing this top with neutral pants and shoes and a nice pop of jewels on top! Simply perfect for this beautiful hump day!

Enjoy your week everyone! #halfway

Work Wear Wednesday: Highlighter Yellow

Yay for Wednesdays! I get a recharge on Wednesdays knowing that it's the middle of the week and there's only fun ahead. I'm having a blast coming up with some unique and fun looks for the Work Wear Wednesday and this beautiful weather doesn't hurt. I love this look for a couple different reasons. I love the funky color and pattern of the skirt, the pairing of yellow and the peach in the necklace, and lastly the style of sleeve on this shirt. This almost cap sleeve is trending right now and I just love it! It's very reminiscent of 70's style, which is just fine with me, because I love that era. I'd venture say that seventie's fashion is probably the most dominant era of inspiration for this years trends. What do you think?

Work Wear Wednesday: Neon

Another day another dollar. If you were looking for a work motto for the day, there ya go!
I had a fun time getting ready this morning, because I found these amazing neon pants that have been hiding for almost a year in my Spring wardrobe, they are also one piece from the top 10 remix challenge I'm following, details below! I love the bright fun color and they are super comfortable, which is key when dressing for work. I needed to pair them with something a little more subtle, since I'm not trying to burn my co-worker's retinas. I opted for this adorable new top from the Loft. I love pairing black and white with a pop of color, it really makes for a treat for the eyes!

Top 10 Remix Challenge:
From the fabulous mind behind Sarah's Real Life comes a great fashion challenge, check it out and join the fun!

Here's the gist: "All you have to do is pick ten things from your closet that you think are the epitome of your style, and then work at least one of those ten things into each outfit you wear for the month."

PS. Both of these pants have a neon version, don't know why they won't show them, click the link to see!

Work Wear Wednesday: Belted Scarf

I love this long sleeve dress, it's so comfy and very professional! The strip of leather takes the dress from boring to chic, but from there it still needs something to make it a full look! I'm obsessed with the new trend of belting a scarf! It's a great way to include a scarf, but not have it all sorts of bunched up by your neck. This is especially nice with these rising temps, hello 50's! Overall this work look is comfy, easy to work in, and still on trend. What do you think?!

Work Wear Wednesday: Straight Leg Pants

Today's post is all about how to snag that work style trend for less! Although, I'm kind of obsessed with the Stella McCartney ones, so if that's in your budget, go for it!! I love the straight leg style, it's so chic and looks like you walked into work straight off the runway. These pants are perfect for the transition into Spring too, you can wear them with fun colorful flats or simple black heels. With a simple pant like this it gives you free reign to amp it up with funky colors, chic accessories, and trendy shoes.

Stella McCartney • $300.00

Vince • $99.00

Work Wear Wednesdays

At our last blogger event one of the girls mentioned how she's lucky that she can wear whatever she wants to work. She's definitely lucky and that was something I had for a while, but there's something to be said for the fashion of work wear. It's a bit harder to keep a stylish tone, but I wanted to start Work Wear Wednesdays to bring light to the fun stylish ways to dress for work. 

Keep a look out next Wednesday for another post in this series, and feel free to comment any of your work wear tips!
