    Work Wear Mondays: It’s All About Neutrals

    Fashion, Workwear by louise

    Details: Cremieux Plaid Shirt Dress (on sale under $40) –  Kitten Heel Mules (under $55) – Similar Purse (under $100)

    The Plaid & Neutral Look Recipe

    I can’t believe it’s the beginning of another new week and here I am embracing this neutral look with a Cremieux plaid tie shirt dress! Yup, a mix of plaid and neutrals…who would have thought?  This one is on sale right now for under $40 (from an original price of $150), and you could wear it all season into Fall.

    The material on the Cremieux dress is really comfortable and I love the button front tie waist. In my book, it doubles as classic and the effortless office look. I’ve had my eye on this one too and it might be the next dress I add to my collection since it is also currently on sale.  I do love the quality and fit of this brand. As with any look, I paired up the dress with these gorgeous Gianni Bini mules and a neutral purse which is usually my go-to. Loving the palette which is so perfect for office wear this season. The sleeves are just about right to keep me warm from the blast of cold a/c in the buildings and the material is light enough to keep me cool when I’m outside conquering the Dallas summer heat.

    Below are some more plaid and neutral dresses for your office or business look.

    H&M Office Look

    Another Monday, another work week! Today, I am sharing an office look that is affordable and yet stylish. This attire from H&M is versatile and I love the fit.  Thank goodness I didn’t need to get the jacket tailored!!!  You can wear this fitted jacket with a slim fitted skirt or pants, or with jeans for a more casual look. The skirt can be dressed up as well.

    A classic yet affordable look for the office is a win-win for me. I also noticed the jacket comes in a few colors along with the skirt. If you haven’t been to H&M lately, you should.  They have a range of clothing from loungewear to office wear, and I love their variety.

    Now who doesn’t like a jacket that’s under $25??

    Look 1

    Anyone else love animal print? I love this skirt so much that I have worn it a couple times with different blouses already!  For this look, I paired the skirt with a plain solid-colored shirt and nude pumps.  This is a great office look yet adds some fun elements with the print skirt ;).

    Look 2

    Sticking to the minimal look, I got this shirred mock neck blouse which is the perfect answer to crisp days in the Spring. I added a statement piece to the black skirt with a bold belt, and finished off the look with black pumps and bag. It’s also a lovely office look if you don’t want to be too distracting during a meeting or if you are not one to play with bold colors.

    Either way, there’s a dress for everyone with this awesome sale at Ann Taylor!! I have had a few of their clothes in my closet that’s 8-years old and since they have classic pieces, they do not necessary go out of style. Let me know if you do take advantage of their sales.
