Today's Everyday Fashion: Business Casual

 

Inspiration: Banana Republic

 

Navigating dress codes can be tricky - it's probably the most-asked style question I hear! And while each office or event comes with it's own nuances, I'd say that today's look lands safely in the "business casual" category. I put this look together based solely on the catalog photo - copying it right down to the shoes. The printed pants and fun color combo add a playful element to the otherwise professional feel. It's a great styling idea, and one I'd happily try given the right occasion for this dress code!
