I’m in an odd predicament.  Starting next month, I’ll be working all week, plus Saturdays in an office.  We’re usually done with work by noon, but figuring out what to wear on a semi-dressy day that only lasts three hours is always a challenge.  Especially when the last thing you want to do is get up and go to work.

This white and oatmeal look from Oh What I Sight to See is a lovely option for winter.  I tweaked it to fit my style a bit, but I think I ended up with a soft-neutral outfit that is relaxed, but still professional.

Coat // This Madewell Estate Coat is a great cocoon style with casual details.  It has a minimalist look that blends well into a professional or casual outfit.

Looking for something a bit dressier?  This Calvin Klein wrap coat is a wonderful mid-price coat with a dramatic shape.  I also love the bold buttons on this funnel neck coat from Marks and Spencer.  Plus-size?  Try the Madewell coat or this tweed Gallery coat.

Sweater // I went with a sweater instead of a blouse; I wanted something warmer.  This textured Boden Normanton sweater is a nice piece with a lot of interesting accents.  I like the fun fringe.

This ruffle sweater from ASTR is also a great option. For something more affordable, try this puff-sleeve sweater.  Need cotton?  Try this pom-pom sweater.

Jeans // These cropped Banana Republic jeans are surprisingly awesome.  My only suggestion is to size up one size to accommodate for the high-waist style.

Accessories // This red tote from Tory Burch is discounted for the holiday season.  It’s got a triple compartment style for easy storage.  Need a more affordable option?  This <$75 Mali and Lili bag is worth a look.

These comfortable flats from Corso Como are nice for work or weekend.  These Let’s Twist flats from Modcloth are a great chesnut color.  Need a wider width?  Try these Franco Sarto flats.

Lastly, I chose these pearl earrings from Kate Spade.  They have a unique oblong shape that makes them a touch more modern.  If you’re not into pearls, try these mother-of-pearl studs from Wolf & Badger or this sleek pair from Savvy Cie.
