Corporate Chic

The process of picking my outfit for work can be both challenging and fun. Challenging in a sense that I need to find something that meets the office's dress code but stylish enough for me to wear to a dinner date or other appointments later when I get off from work. However, I've embraced the challenge like a true fashion blogger and had mastered (I'd like to think) the art of dressing up for work!

 
 
This particular outfit, I think, might still be rather low-key for an office attire. I wore my blue sheer polo shirt with black leggings (a staple!) and my snakeskin pointed toe pumps. I really had no theme in particular when putting this outfit together. I simply grabbed the top off my closet and thought of other pieces I can pair it with. Thus, I can say that the top is the focal point of this outfit, which is why I decided to keep everything else simple and ditched the statement accessories.


How do you decide your office attire? Are they random or pre-meditated like most of mine?

    Love this color! I normally just pick out my work attire based on how I feel that day, which changes daily. So, I'm all over the place. Thanks for stopping by my post!

    Dressing for work is super challenging for me too since I like to think of myself as a very casual person, but your look is perfect!

    Hi Abby. I love this blouse. I am in love with this particular color anyway.
    I am like you, it's premeditated most of the time.

    Many thanks for visiting my blog.

    Have a lovely day

    I face the same dilemma daily and usually settle on a dress that can be dressed up with less conservative accessories after hours :)

    Love the color of your top and thank you for stopping by my blog xo

    I'm lucky to be able to run my business from home so it's usually pajamas or fitness apparel! Love the heels,

    Great color on you! We're office casual... so I usually wear dresses or a simple pair of black pants & a fun top! Accessories & scarves are great ways to add a little something to your work attire!
