Office Tees

There are so many things that are "frowned upon" at the office; overalls, thigh high boots, chaps, sombreros. When will these rules end, people?? However, every now and then, an item of clothing that's usually saved for Casual Fridays can sneak its way into a Monday - the tee. Pairing a t-shirt with a dressier skirt and heels makes it totally work appropriate. There is no need to try to dress it up more with bold jewelry, keep it simple with some delicate chains. 

If a co-worker dares to call you out on your casualness, here are some quick quips that are sure to shut them up:

"YOU'RE casual"

"But look how great my hair looks!"

"Your mom went to college"

Once I'm into something, I'm reeaaally into it. For example, in my university days, I wore a bow in my hair and thigh high socks almost on a daily basis. There was a time when I decided that wasabi peas was all I needed in my life. And of course, those couple of months where I only wore animal themed rings, from parrots to whales. What am I into now? This pastel sky blue colour. I now declare you my new jam..as attested by this post only a couple of days ago.

Monochreme

Sweater - Calvin Klein

Skirt - Club Monaco

Shoes - Aldo

Sunglasses - Prada

Necklace - Forever 21

Midi Ring - Forever 21

Wearing one colour head to toe can be a little challenging, the trick? Mix up the textures! The combination of a knit sweater with a silky skirt adds enough interest to make it not boring without losing the monochrome feel. 

I look so innocent in my completely cream outfit. Little do you know that I actually kicked 5 kids beforehand.

Shrunken Sweater

It's bad enough I still have to wear sweaters at the end of May so I thought a shrunken one would at least make it sting less. It didn't. I was as cold as my heart.

A high waisted skirt gives you the opportunity to wear the cropped trend at the office. The skirt does the midriff covering up job. That way, you can avoid any awkward "inappropriate work wear" conversations. Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt (the long sleeved turtle neck of course).

Transitioning

Jacket - Jack

Dress - Y.A.S

Booties - Zara

Bag - Louis Vuitton

Sunnies - RayBan

Cuff - Forever21

Ring - H&M

There are two things that are transitioning here - my hair is transitioning into more of an ombre and the weather is finally taking a few steps into warmth. This newly present sun is just like this dress - deceiving! I could be pregnant, bloated, or smuggling muffins underneath there and no one would ever suspect a thing and that's the way I like it! Additionally, the super comfortable almost sweatshirt like material of this dress was great today as the air was still brisk under the glowing sun. But hey, no tights, yippee!
