What To Wear to Work During a Fashion Rut

I mentioned last Thursday that I've been feeling a bit blah about my work wardrobe. Every morning, I wake up, grab the first matching pencil skirt and blouse combo I can find, and run out the door. There have been so many days when I've gotten to work and thought to myself, "I hate this outfit!" or "This outfit is so boring!" (Those are the days I don't post my #ootd to Instagram!) Since I wear my work clothes more often than my causal clothes, I became determined to find work wear inspiration and gathered what I found on a new Pinterest board.

I work in healthcare IT, and while the dress code is business casual, I still feel comfortable wearing bright colors and more fashion forward pieces. I don't mind experimenting as long as I feel appropriate and pulled together. Keeping that in mind, I put together three work-ready outfits using non-traditional pieces that I have every intention of wearing to work ASAP. And those I will document on Instagram!

Each item I featured below is under $30 (because you can look professional on a budget!).
