Dressing up my denim with a silk blouse, heels, and keeping cozy with a long cardigan is my idea of a perfect work look - as long as it's not below freezing or a snow filled arctic tundra out there. Right now as we move into spring I can see myself reaching for this basic combination again and again. I still like my nude tights on under my jeans though!
This weekend was pretty good - I probably did a bit more shopping than I should have or needed to, and I'm seriously considering a shopping freeze for the remainder of the month. There was just a little too much embracement of the phrase "Life's short, buy the shoes." (and bags, and jeans).

There's something incredibly soothing and calming about your cardigan, Lydia. I think it's the colour. Or it could very well that smooth texture. Or it could be both. Either way, it's really lovely, and timeless enough to last season after season after season.

I love that outfit and I agree, it's great for work! My office is also pretty casual, but I still like to dress up a little most days. I do wear jeans fairly often (especially in winter) but I like to dress them up a little.
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteNice bag...

The grand blessing of a casual office ... you don't know how lucky you are until you move into a stiff corporate one.
ReplyDeleteI really like this, mostly the colors :)
My current daily life would be so much easier if I could wear jeans to work - distressed jeans would be even better, since that's mostly what I own. I find the corporate dress code so outmoded; it's one thing when I'm going out to meetings, in which case I'm happy to put on my pencil skirt and blazer, but I'm not sure why I need to wear those things when I'm in an office where no one sees me. C'est la vie, I suppose, since there's nothing I can do to change my employer's dress code, but I really do wish I could be sitting at work in your outfit right about now...!

I love this...probably because of the shoes! I think it could look rather boring if you hadn't added this dose of leopard! jodie

I love that silk blouse, and the cardigan is pretty, too :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great look. I love that cardigan - such a great color. It's so nice to work in a casual environment so you can dress up when you feel like it- or not!
ReplyDeleteLove the long cardigan with this look. I rarely wear jeans to the office since it's not part of our dress code. If I do, it's always a short Friday and they are my darker wash jeans and I feel like everyone is staring at me.
