The Natural Outfit

I think I was inspired by nature today! If only things were actually green here! April snow-strorms bring May flowers though right?! haha I'm working with my fav combo here... JCrew & polka-dots!  I actually have to put this sweater back in the closet on a regular basis becuase I'm just always grabbing it in the mornings! It's just so easy and fun! I'm a fan!

Classy fun

Shirt: Zellers | Skirt: Simons | Shoes: Suzy Shier | Belt: Marshalls | Glasses: Tiffany's

Happy Monday! OH, only 4 more day's until the weekend, but who's counting? haha I actually don't wear my glasses very often.. but man, were my eyes ever blurry today! Too much staring at the computer I guess! I bought this cute skirt at Simon's a long time ago and look forward to working with it to create more fun & colourful outfits!

Dressy Colour-blocking

I wish this dress was just a little bit longer! I feel like it's a tad too short for work. I have been seeing ladies adding slips or skirts underneath dresses that are shorter so I think I will try that out next time! And, as always.. a hint of polka dots!

Playing with Patterns!

I haven't posted a penny pincher for a while so I thought I would throw this one in today! I found this great cardi for $4 at vv... it's a Loft sweater and such a great all-around and versatile cardi! On another note, I have been trying to play with patterns lately and I find it works best if you keep a common colour throughout! How did I do?!

Lady Like

Shirt: Urban Planet | Skirt: F21 | Shoes: Costa Blanca | Necklace: The Bay | Watch: Michael Kors

I have been seeing so many lady like pieces in stores and online lately and I absolutely love it! Pastels, lace, pearls, polka-dots... it's simply me in a nutshell! I can't wait to go on my spring "mini" shopping spree soon to pick up some new fun outfits! I'll be honest.. I did miss two outfit days last week.. sometimes I just feel I'm not up to par as to what I'm looking for on this blog and what I want to show you ladies!! I just want to bring the best everyday work outfits to the blog and let's face it.. sometimes we aren't always 100%! Bring on the sunshine!!  

Minnie Mouse

Calling all Disney characters for outfit inspiration! haha Just kidding, but Minnie Mouse definitely knew what she was doing when she chose red with white polka dots for her outfit! I love this top! It's just another find from F21 but it's just so bright and cheery.. you can't go wrong! Now if only I had a pair of yellow pumps.. then I would really be in character!

Kelly Green & Polka

(via:net-a-porter.com)

I found this copy-cat image on Net-A-Porter! Sometimes it is just a great way to find inspiration for work outfits! I mean once you get on pinterest, you may never get off ha! So I like going on Net-A-Porter when I have a specific article of clothing that I am interested in wearing and see what pops up! So sorry for the half-smile in the pic too.. I may be a little frozen and/or drugged! ; ) 

Polka & peplum

Shirt: Forever 21 | Skirt: Le Chateau | Shoes: Suzy Shier | Necklace: Le Chateau | Watch: Michael Kors

I honestly don't know if I could make it a week without wearing something with polka-dots on it!! And today I'm wearing double! Crazy girl. They are definitely taking over my closet... Note to self: be open minded with other patterns! Regardless, I thought this outfit was classic with a fun flair! A perfect Wednesday pick-me-up. 

Polka & Leopard

A few weeks ago while I was meandering around the mall.. this cute & stylish elderly women complimented me on a similar look! She stopped and stared and then proceeded to tell me how much she liked the polka-dots and leopard prints together! Well, I'll be! So today's outfit goes to that stylish lady in the mall - a true inspiration to keep looking your best even as time passes by! 

Polka-dots and Chambray

Sweater: J. Crew | Shirt: Forever 21 | Skinnies: Dynamite | Shoes: Costa Blanca | Necklace: The Bay | Watch: Michael Kors

These are definitely my go-to pantaloons! I will tell you a secret.. I'm not too tall.. only 4'11" and I find it very difficult to find pants that fit nicely! And lets be honest, who likes paying and actually going to get their pants hemmed? Not me thats for sure! So, I end up buying lots of skirts & dresses! (which I love btw) But when I do find some pants that fit well and work with everything... well, they end up being the pants of choice!! 

First post polka-dots!

Here goes!! First outfit post of 2013! I really wanted to create a blog specifically for everyday work wear. I am always on the look-out for "something to wear to work tomorrow!" and I thought, why not throw my own work wear looks onto the internet too! I love finding inspiration from other fabulous ladies and I thought, hey, maybe I could do the same for someone else! So here is it.. Cheers to my first post and many more to come!
