I've been in such a funk with my work wear lately, I feel like I need a total revamp of that side of my wardrobe. Of course, this isn't going to happen but I have decided to start finding ways to incorporate my casual wear into my business looks.
This striped sweater is cropped quite short when worn on it's own (definitely not work appropriate) but when worn with a silk button-up underneath, it is suddenly acceptable. I really like the end result. so now I'm feeling much more inspired!
You might notice that the background in these photos look quite foggy and gloomy and that is because Vancouver has been covered in a blanket of fog for the last few days. We thought it looked quite interesting how the city is half covered across the water, but it sure was cold!
I was wearing:
Aritzia Blazer
H&M Sweater (similar)
Zara Blouse (similar)
Zara Shoes (similar)
Michael Kors Bag
Stella&Dot, J Crew and Givenchy Bracelets
Thanks so much for visiting!

I own that exact sweater. Love it. Digging the black and white ensemble with the pop of burgundy to spice it up. Work appropriate and chic.

I love the layers! Sometimes we all get in a funk with our stuff. We just get used to the same things and sometimes it's hard to think outside the box. I'm trying to do that more often so I won't go shopping.

ReplyDeletelayering is always a good choice. the re-invention of the wardrobe is always hard but advantageous.
