Simple Work Wear

Simple Work Wear - Northwest BlondeWhile I’m all about embracing summer (we still have a few weeks left before pumpkin everything), my practical side just won’t allow me to ignore the fact that the weather is changing and Fall is coming. This puts us all in a strange inbetween place for fashion and style. Too warm to wear all the new fall pieces but not quite warm enough for full on summer style. So what to do…

I always have the same tactic in these moments. Go simple. This basic chiffon blouse will keep me cool but skinny jeans are just enough added warmth without having me sweating all over the place. Overall it’s all about balance, then you can accessorize at will. This simple work look wear can easily be dressed up or down as needed. Add a blazer or jacket and you’re business casual. Swap out the shoes for cute flats and you are ready to run some errands sans yoga pants. I love the simple palette, which then allows for countless possibilities to play with other colors, patterns, and textures.

    I would have never guessed those jeans were from American Eagle, they look so much more expensive! Love that blouse too, and what a cute outfit for transitioning into fall!

    Black pumps and a classic button-down shirt always can make simple work wear look elegant, like in your case. =))

    The closer I get to 30 and the further I get from 20 I’ve noticed that hanging out with some of my friends only happens before sundown so I’ve had to figure out how to go from work to happy hour lol
    I love this post! Very stylish outfit. I’m only allowed to wear jeans on Fridays at work so my go to is dresses. I usually rock a sweater or blazer (my office is often freezing even though I’m in Texas and it’s in the hundreds lol) I also have some pretty active days so flats happen often. Lose the blazer put on a pair of wedges and I’m ready for Happy Hour!

    I can’t believe that top is from Forever 21! I thought it’d be from Madewell or something – it looks fabulous on you! This outfit is so chic and perfect for my business-casual, work environment. I wish we had “transition” periods in Texas, so I could provide a tip. Unfortunately, it’s just hot, hotter, and somewhat hot here!
