Three Looks for Work in the Summer

Hi friends!!! Happy Wednesday! Iā€™m off of work for the work for a much needed break to reset and recharge. It has been so nice to change up the pace and enjoy a week of summer. 

But next week, itā€™s back to reality, which means back to work. Since I have started to work full time, one of the things Iā€™ve had to do is do some shopping for more professional clothes but also continue to update my wardrobe by mixing and matching outfits. I order several new dresses from Amazon, so be prepared for an Amazon Haul post coming soon!

Until then, I wanted to share three outfits for work for the summer, one is super professional, one is summer dress chic and the other is more work for on the go.

Letā€™s get to the most professional/ business casual.

This look is perfect for an interview or working in an office.

I wanted something that was neutral and simple and thatā€™s exactly what I got when it came to picking out this outfit.

I first started with this skirt, I got it from Marshallā€™s. I love how it is a pencil skirt and can be worn with a suit or just by itself. 

I decided to add a dark blouse as my top. I got it from Francescaā€™s Boutique, as a summer blouse but I have found many more uses and ways to wear it through the years. Although, it is sleeveless, I added a blazer to match it. Although, different opposite colors, the black and the light gray skirt complement one another very well. 

As, I mentioned above, I wore my gray blazer as a finishing touch. I got this blazer from Marshallā€™s as well, a few years back. Although, the blazer and the skirt are not a matching set, the interior of the blazer which is seen when cuffed is almost a perfect match to the skirt and the black top ties the whole outfit together.

These shoes are my new favorite pair for the spring/summer/fall. I loved them so much I got them both in black and nude, they are Kelly and Katie from DSW. They are comfortable and I love the heel, not too high but reasonable. 

I matched the outfit with my work bag from Michael Kors, now this outfit may not be for everyoneā€™s work place, but itā€™s perfect for interviews or business meetings.

The next outfit is another one for the work place, professional but with more color. 

I got this dress from Landā€™s End, there are so many things I like about this outfit. First, the color, I love how blue stands out. Itā€™s a pop of color but itā€™s not too overwhelming. The next thing I love about it, is the cut and style. It is a straight cut dress, but you can move in it, itā€™s not super restricting, also it has pockets!!!!

Lastly, I really like the material, it is string and durable. 

I matched the dress with a pair of blue pumps from DSW as well. 

I wear a lot of navy, so these get a lot of wear in the spring and summer months.

Onto the last outfit, this outfit is more on the go but still professional, some days Iā€™m working in an office and other days Iā€™m not, it all depends. 

For the days Iā€™m not in an office, this is a great outfit on the go. 

I got these pants from the Limited, I love how they are a straight cut pant and the navy makes them easy to with anything. Any print, bold or neutral color can go with it.

I got this pink top from Talbots, I really like the pop of summery color, plus it matches perfectly with the pink sweater from Gap. The blue and pink compliment each other very well. And to no oneā€™s surprise, I got these shoes from DSWā€¦surprise! Haha! 

I also wanted to show how well my lunch tote matches my outfit. 

Those are three separate outfits for work, from business professional, to sundress chic and on the go. 

Stay tuned for more summer work outfits and next week, I have a supersized life update post! Be sure to check back next Wednesday for it!

See you then!

Look of the Day #65

LOTD

Hi guys!! Happy Thursday!Ā  Today I am heading back to school. Summer went by so fast, donā€™t get me wrong, I accomplished so much and had a wonderful summer, but I am still sad that itā€™s over. I will be posting a full summer recap later. For now, letā€™s just focus on this cute summer dress.

I got it in the spring and I have worn it so much this summer. It made a perfect sundress to throw on for a dinner party, relaxing after swimming, running errands, heading to Church or even as a cover up after a long day of swimming to throw over your bathing suit. ! There are so many cute things about this dress I donā€™t know where to begin!

A perfect summer dress for any occasion

Letā€™s start with the where I got It from. I got this dress from Landā€™s End. I used to get a lot of my clothes there when I was younger, but as I have gotten older, I havenā€™t shopped there as much. I do always love the good quality of their clothes and love all their styles. I always look through their catalogues, who knows maybe there will be some more Land’s End in the future.

Next up are the colors, I love the mix of whites, pinks, and oranges. They are the true colors of summer to me, not only were they bright but also colorful and cheery. I also love the cut and style of the dress. I like how it is more open and flowly. Plus, my favorite part? It has pockets!!! What girl doesnā€™t like a dress or skirt with pockets?!

Up close of the top

This dress can either be dressed up or down. I have dressed it down with my favorite pair of tan sandals from Kelly and Katie that I got from DSW. I have also dressed it up with a pair of nude wedges that I also got from DSW.

A more dressed up look

I love how versatile this dress can be, that is one thing I always look for when it comes to clothes, can it be worn in more than one way and whatā€™s the practicality of it.

Looking back on how fast summer went by

Also, another shout of to my cousin Grace for capturing these great shots. Have a great weekend everyone!
