Today's Everyday Fashion: Colorful Office Look

/
 
 
 

Inspiration: Ann Taylor

 

Last year, I was inspired by Reese Witherspoon to wear this top with jeans, a navy boucle jacket and the same orange heels. It was one of my favorite outfits IRL, and I'm sure I'll be repeating again. I wanted to see what else this shirt could do, so I pulled out a purple-ish pencil skirt I've had for 9 years (!), and a bright red coat. The coat and shoes don't vibe very well together, which is a common predicament in cooler weather. Without the coat, the outfit needs the orange shoes, but they are admittedly a bit much when paired with the coat. So you either bite the bullet and wear the less-cute shoes, or just say oh well with the color overload. Or, wear comfy shoes on your commute and change to heels when you arrive at the office - that's what I used to do when I lived in Boston!
