Office Ready Style

IMG_5026When dressing for the office, first and foremost, I like to feel comfortable. No matter how cute an outfit may look, it’s important to feel like yourself and feel confidant in what you’re wearing–this is the best way to conquer the busy day ahead and set yourself up for success.

Ann Taylor is my go-to for workwear that is both timeless and feminine. They have a variety of beautiful pieces that can be mixed and matched to create different looks for each season. For more of a fall moody look, I went monochromatic by pairing this charming lace skirt with this textured sweater. And to add an extra pop of color, I wore this neck scarf–a quintessential addition to any fall wardrobe (the scarf also looks super cute fully wrapped around the neck with a low bun!).

Transitional Vest

IMG_5054Even though Labor Day is past us, can we all agree it’s still acceptable to wear white? I have to admit, I wear white throughout the year. Take this vest for example–it was a purchase from last winter and one I’ve repurposed through spring, summer and now fall! Even frugal Chris would agree that is a classic piece worth the investment. As we enter September, and near the first official day of autumn–countdown to September 22 begins–layering with a vest can take you into cooler weather looking effortlessly, cozy chic.

The Softest Pajamas

IMG_4796I have a slight affinity for pajama sets. There is something cozy about hanging around the house in comfy, yet practical loungewear. I got this pink set during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale a few weeks back and have been living in them ever since. They are so soft, you just want to cuddle-up on the sofa with a good book and a cup of tea.

A Drapey Poncho

SAM_5716I’ve been swooning over this blush, drapey poncho since I picked it up at the LOFT, during my mom’s visit last month. What do you think? Isn’t it so cute?! The striped neutrals give it a clean, fresh look–perfect for a summer night out. But, I can already envision wearing this with booties and a chunky scarf on a cool, fall evening. As much as I’m enjoying summer, I have to say, I’m equally excited for fall–there is something comforting and a little nostalgic about this time of year that I love!
