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.

    Oh Lyddie, I just love this! And you've totally inspired my next outfit... A blazer with a dress works so well, and especially when it's such a bright and cheery color!

    This is a great formula. You just reminded me that I have a leopard dress and red blazer that hasn't been out in awhile. Now I will pin you look! Heather

    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.

    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!

    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!

    I couldn't agree more! Pairing a dress with a blazer is a great go-to outfit when we don't have enough time in the morning. This leopard dress looks STUNNING on you, it fits you like a glove! Also, love how you picked to pair it with red, so so chic.

    I agree, dresses give you an instant put-together kind of air. Especially with a blazer or similar little jacket.
