Work Wear: Tuxedo Trousers

Blazer- Primark (similar), Tee- H&M, Pants- H&M, Heels- Target, Necklace- Mindy Mae's Market, Bag- Mango (similar)

I'm still in the process of revamping and remixing my work wardrobe. It's funny to think that when I first starting working full time after college, I wore boot cut dress pants in black, gray, and navy. All the time. I remember wearing a teal shirt with my black pants one day, and one of my coworkers said, "Wow, you're wearing color! You always wear black, white and gray." I caught me a little off guard because I thought my work wear was a little more fun than that. After transitioning into a new role at my job, one where I could stop wearing pantyhose and start wearing open toed shoes, I began to get a little, no, a LOT more adventurous with color.

While I have certainly been wearing more color, I'm fully aware that this outfit is in fact, black, white and gray. Regardless, it's still a major upgrade from what I wore four years ago. I've gotten rid of all my boot cut dress pants and traded them for slim cut, straight leg trousers. These black tuxedo trousers are a little more interesting with satin stripes down the sides. They are also more high-waisted than what I've worn in the past. And for my blazer? This white ruched sleeve blazer is so much better than the stuffy gray version I used to wear that was half of the suit I bought for job interviews. I skipped the button-up blouse and went with an easy gray tee to finish the look.

I'm guest posting on Carylee's blog today, so head over there to see two more ways I styled my gray tee!

Work Wear: Another Blazer

Dress- TJ Maxx (similar, love this, peplum version), Blazer- Primark (similar), Shoes- Zara (similar), Bracelet- similar, Watch- Fossil

Hey, I'm in the parking garage again. The rain decided to start at the exact moment I was ready to take pictures. FRUSTRATING. But tomorrow I'll have some nice outdoor shots for ya. It actually didn't rain yesterday!

So here's yet another work outfit where I added a blazer over a summer dress. I can't help it; it's just so easy! This is a dress I wore to a couple of weddings this summer, but I loved it with my favorite white blazer on top.

Work Wear: Brighten It Up

Dress- Loft (similar on sale!), Blazer- Primark (similar), Pumps- Forever 21, Necklace- BaubleBar (similar), Belt- Asos, Watch- Fossil

I like to wear more color in the warmer months, but this black sheath dress is my favorite and I was determined to style it for summer. The best way to brighten up black is to add color to it! (kind of a no-brainer...) I chose to add my mint blazer on top to make my black dress more summer appropriate. The leopard pumps also add a fun touch. These heels are seriously so comfy! Another great Forever 21 find, of course. I added another pop of color with the lavender belt to mimic the purple color in my necklace.

Another idea to spice up a black sheath dress for summer? Add a bright button up underneath, and coordinating belt on top! I'm dying to try this with my teal gingham shirt.

Blush a Little

 Blouse- Primark, Shorts- Forever 21, Sandals- Primark

It's Monday again! Any of you live for the weekends like I do? I got this fun little blouse in London last month during my vacation. I love the cutouts on the top and the lace detail on the collar. It's starting to get pretty warm here in Texas- shorts weather! This is the time of year when I really start wishing I had a tan. :)

I'm a Copycat

My favorite thing about following style blogs is that they are an endless source of inspiration for remixing my closet. I love it when I see another bloggers outfit and think, "I have all the pieces to recreate that!" I use Pinterest to keep track of all the looks I love and looks I plan to copy, that way, when I can't figure out what to wear, I have a one stop shop to get an idea for a quick and easy outfit! Here are three looks that I have copied recently.
