Work Wardrobe: The Winter Blues

Cobalt blue is gorgeous so it is a no-brainer that I made it the inspiration for this work look.  I started with a blue sweater and threw a pop of white from my button up blouse.  The back of the sweater is longer so  you get a peak of the white in the front to break up the dark colors.  Also, I added on a necklace to add some femininity.  This is an undercover comfortable outfit that still looks put together and work appropriate.  ~B

Work Wardrobe: Fall for Blue

I really like this color combo (sorry the picture is so dull).  I took a long sweater and cinched it a the waist with a belt to bring it all in.  I also added a multi-chain brass necklace for a little embellishment.  ~B

Work Wardrobe: Fancy Pants

Today I had my fancy pants on.  I love a good printed pant (see up close print below).  It makes for such an easy outfit because you don't have to do much else.  Grab a color from the pants and complete the look with that color, in solid pieces.  I love mixing fun prints as well but for this pattern, solids were best!  I did add a pop with a hot pink lip color.  I kept my hair and accessories simple and clean.  ~B
