Work wear isn’t always my favorite thing and lately I’ve been on the struggle bus in the mornings when picking out my outfits for my 8-5. When the ‘I have nothing to wear’ bird is chirping loudly in my ear, I rely on a quick search on my Insta feed and Pinterest homepage to see what Street Style outfits are trending that I may be able to translate into office-appropriate. This particular morning nothing was popping out or speaking to me, so to Instagram I wandered. Thankfully I came across the gorgeous Kate from For the Love of Fancy‘s feed almost immediately and the moment I saw her checkered top paired with a pop of cobalt via her heels, I knew I had to recreate the look for my Wednesday work day. Out of the closet came my J. Crew button-up, cobalt skinnys, go-to black heels, and a bright, bold statement necklace via BaubleBar.
I really love combining casual pieces and creating dressier outfits from them. I’m all about the biggest bang for your buck {at least in most cases} and with both the top and the pants I think they fit that bill. The checkered top stays neutral with the black and white palette so I also like to pair it with grey skinnys & black booties for a night out or under a cozysweatshirt & boyfriend jeans for a weekend look. While the cobalt pants are technically ‘dress’ pants, I’ve worn them out and about with a floral tank for a more polished afternoon outfit.
