Fall uniform

My new workplace is super casual, and while I know there is nothing stopping my from throwing on my pencil skirts and heels like I've always done, lately I've been feeling more comfortable in jeans and button downs.

Often I will throw on a blazer and heels, but when it's really cold out, boots and a sweater tend to win out. At least it's not a bad look to have on repeat.

  1. Love that leopard sweater (obviously...haha)
    And yes, definitely not the worst look to be repeating all the time...if it were, I'd be in trouble!

  2. I love the animal print with the red, they pair very well together. I love sweaters paired with buttons downs as well!

  5. I can imagine with the cold you really want to be as covered, warm and comfortable as possible.
    I like this, you still manage to look polished.

  8. No, it's not at all a bad look. You look stylish and gorgeous in this relaxed look. Colder months of the year puts the biggest pressure on what to wear.

  15. My workplace is the same way so I understand. Dressing casually has its good and bad points. You look great though! I think it's important to still look put together and you do!

  18. I dream of a casual office! I envy you - not because I want to wear jeans all the time, but because sometimes, when it's really cold and rainy, it's nice to have the option :) And besides, jeans can be so easily dressed up, as you've clearly proven here. With that bag (again - I'm swooning) and your lovely leopard sweater, you look decidedly professional without sacrificing style.
    xox,

  21. That is such a lovely printed knit - you've layered it so well with the shirt and that cute red coat too! :)

    I think casual workplace dress codes are awesome - they let you have more fun with what you wear to work each day! :)

  26. Congrats on your new job. What do you do? My job is the same way. I can dress pretty casual. I certainly love your chic, casual and put-together outfits. Wearing trends that are classics, also. The red coat makes it all better also.

    Have a Great Thanksgiving Lydia!
