I love the color blocking trend this season and would love to incorporate some crazy color pairings every.single.day but unfortunately I work in a business atmosphere and cannot walk into work looking like a rainbow and expect people to take me seriously. Today I met bright colors in the middle and created a business casual look that combine's my trendy side with my work side.
I started off with my coral tank top and grabbed pieces that were in the same color family like my hot pink cardigan and orange heels. I wanted to add an extra dose of color but didn't want to overwhelm the overall outfit so I thought my yellow skinny belt was the perfect accessory.

I love pairing a bright, fun top w/ darker work slacks. I do this almost daily. I can't always deal with the muted colors.
ReplyDeleteI love the belt under the cardi! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love that cardigan!
ReplyDeleteLooooove the work appropriate color blocking!
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree and say that you CAN wear bright colors every day to work! You look great here, and this is totally office apprope!
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate! Some of the biggest trends this season may be questionable in the office. I personally don't work in an environment where I can dress up at all! I don't even wear jewelry (I work with boys in a group home). So when it comes to my style at work...it definitely doesn't reflect that I love fashion and am a blogger!
ReplyDeleteI think this look is beautiful, and totally office appropriate. Great job!
love the colors! I know exactly what you mean - I have a closet full of bright colors but when I'm at the office, I usually stick to one bright piece and keep the rest neutral (black/navy/khaki)
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors!
ReplyDeleteGreat look for work!
ReplyDeleteSo on trend yet totally still has it's business edge.
Love the skinny belt too.
Just discovered your blog and love it, some beautiful posts!

I think your bold colors are perfectly office appropriate with the sleek pencil skirt, and those heels are just drool-worthy.
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
you look seriously awesome! you pulled off brights perfect;y :)
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you and others. I don't know if I could leave the house on with so many different colors. I guess it's because I live in Memphis where most people don't have this kind of fashion sense. Ha!
ReplyDeleteLove this color combo!
