Look Like a Dime in the Office (Without breaking the bank…)

Office wear on a budget

1. H&M Shell Blouse – $17.95 

  • I love shell blouses because they work with skirts and pants, and you can mix it up by pairing it with a statement necklace or a scarf.

2. H&M Stretch Tweed Pants – $39.95 

  • While I do have various types of slacks, I feel best in the ones with a high-waist and skinny style cut.

3. Forever21 Sheer Tie Collar Top – $17.80 

  • I am in love with pussybow tops. They are professional and sophisticated.

4. Contrast Lapel Longline Jacket – $29.80

  • I own probably 4 or 5 blazers.  They are so versatile that they can also be worn during the day or on a night out.

5. Captoe Shoes H&M – $34.95

  • I have varying heel heights and colors that I wear to work but the ones that get worn the most are my black pumps.  They go with absolutely everything.  These are a great take on the captoe trend with an affordable pricetag!

6.  Asos Rectangule Door Knocker Earrings – $13.80

  • Chunky earrings are always a fun way to dress up a simple outfit.

7. Green Lace Panel Neoprene Dress – $55.00

  • A little lace is the perfect feminine touch, yet this dress is appropriate length and coverage for the office.

8.  Asos Boyfriend Watch – $37.94

  • A boyfriend watch is a must for the office.  I wear a watch every day.  This one is very similar to the Michael Kors watches that are so popular but at a fraction of the cost.  Honestly, from far away I might not tell the difference.

9. Dorothy Perkins Oxblood Ponte Pencil Skirt – $29.00

  • A colored pencil skirt can break up the monotony that usually encompasses workplace fashion. (Who says you have to stick to greys, blacks, and navys?)

10. the pretty dress company Belgravia Aubergine Purple Peplum Dress – $141.77 

  • Van Mildert has a variety of sophisticated investment pieces.  I think it’s important to have a few pieces that are high-end, timeless, and good quality. 

     

Do you have to wear “business attire” to work? What’s your favorite thing to wear in the office? 
Happy Friday my loves!

    loves it all, I shop Target for inexpensive work wear. You can usually score a dress for $30 or less 🙂
