Office leopard

One of my favorite go-to office looks is simply pairing a dress with a blazer. It could not be more simple, but gives the appearance that I put far more effort into it than I actually did.

This is a good solution for a morning when you oversleep, or accidentally stay in bed for 20 minutes looking at pinterest on your iPhone.
Note: Pinterest is full of tons of great outfit inspiration. Just never outfits for this exact moment. In fact, you should pin this outfit so you can recreate it in 2-4 weeks.

  10. I think the word spectacular fits this outfit perfectly !
    This look makes me want to have a leopard print dress, which oddly I do not have.
    I stay in bed sometimes too. I stay there looking at the skyline and wondering what time it is.

  27. I totally agree- a really nice put together look on the go! Dresses are, well, dressy...and the blazer adds some nice structure to the outfit. This looks great on you!

  29. What excellent advice. I love the bright colour with the leopard.

  30. Sad but true fact: when I had to get up for work in the morning, I had started setting my alarm for twenty minutes earlier so that I could check my email, instagram and pinterest before getting ready! Nice to know I'm not the only one :) Also, your leopard dress... words cannot describe how in love with it I am. Leopard is one of those prints that I love but am not entirely comfortable wearing outside of accessories, but if I could get to a TJ Maxx, I would be hunting this beauty down. You look fabulous!
