Get the Look: An Office Outfit

Oct 26, 2020

Sweater week continues with a work outfit that is perfect for fall.  A sleek sweater, a chic trouser, and the perfect coat, what more could you want?  Let’s get started.

Instead of the olive pants in Oh What a Sight To See’s inspiration outfit, I decided to go with a deeper green for winter.  To balance the winter white with the colored trouser, I chose a snakeskin pump and a black bag.  It’s a bit more dramatic than a palette of browns, but no less chic.

Coat // This winter white wool coat from Ann Taylor is delightful.  The texture is a bit more modern than flat wool, but if that’s your preference, try this winter white wrap coat from Macy’s.

Sweater // An ivory sweater is a solid basic for any wardrobe.  Layer it under blazers or long cardigans or just pair it with jeans.  This Ann Taylor crewneck is a great choice.  For an affordable option, hit up Modcloth.  For a non-wool option, Theory makes a silk-cotton sweater in ivory.

Plus-size? Land’s End has a cashmere option.  This Talbot’s v-neck sweater is also a lovely option (also in misses).

Pants // These Theory pants come in a sumptuous green.  If you prefer the olive look, try Banana Republic.  Looking for a more affordable option?  Express has a several styles in green hues.

Plus-size readers should check out Eloquii.  Petite readers should have a look at these olive pants from Talbot’s.

Accessories // Instead of my usual pearls with ivory separates, I chose a moonstone earring.  It has the same brightness as pearls with a bit less fuss.  And I added a simple gold cuff from Jennifer Fisher to complete the look.

For the shoes, I chose J.Crew’s Lucie Pumps in snakeskin.  Even 10 years later, these Michael Kors bags are a good mid-price basic.  You won’t find a well-made option under-$150 in this size that is a better deal.  Need a more affordable bag?  A New Day from Target has a number of affordable bags, including this one.

    Thanks for sharing this inspiration! Tomorrow I will be wearing my olive ponte pant with the cream Nancy MMLaFleur sweater and I have a great green croc bag I will put with it (if I leave the house)!

    Beautiful! The deep green with the snakeskin heels are a really combo.

Saw It On Social: Rooted

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
