Workaholics

While most of us wish we our day to day consisted of pool parties, shopping and maybe some yoga but that’s generally not realistic. Now I can appreciate everyone works different jobs, in different environments with different dress codes, the general look is the same. Most men and women wear some sort of black pant, a button up and some nondescript shoes. STOP IT! Here’s one seriously cute outfit that most anyone can copy or at least inspire you to break the mold. 

From head to toe I absolutely love this look. Yes, it’s a little costume-y with the matching yellow jacket and skirt but this is a great way to do work wear. The girl wearing this outfit is Jayma Mays if you aren't familiar, shes one of the cutest cast mates currently on SNL. From the top I love Jayma hair color! I think it’s a little redder than usual but it’s a really flattering strawberry blonde. Now I wouldn’t go dying my hair for an outfit, I just had to point it out six points Jayma. Next Miss Mays wears some dainty studs (they look like pearls to me, but I could be wrong). There is so much going on in Jaymas outfit bigger earrings would be overdone, plus they mimic the large circular buttons on Jayma’s jacket. Working our way down next you have that lovely large bow, which I do believe belongs to a beautiful white blouse under Jayma’s jacket. This outfit would be equally cute with the white shirt and no jacket, but adding the jacket adds an extra bit of interest and polish. The jacket itself is a pretty basic cut and a great staple piece in a wardrobe. What makes it special is its white piping, unique yellow color and gold buttons.  This jacket would look great with a pair of jeans or white skinnies. Miss Mays skirt is an amazing piece too. The oversized print is really fun and whimsy. The a-line of this skirt is going to be flattering on almost all body types too. Also a small note to add, the stripe only works on the bottom of this skirt as a fun detail. If the skirt was full and a-line like this one but was entirely covered in big horizontal stripes it would likely make you look wider/larger than you actually are. Horizontal stripes are great on a wall, on a coffee mug or a tote bag but not on your thighs! Finally, Jayma’s shoes are PERFECTION for work. Work shoes are a tricky subject. While ballet flats are the best choice for most offices and usually very comfy, a high heel just looks more professional. That being said a high heel or pump NOT  a platform. Jayma’s shoes are sooooo perfect for work because they have a good sized heel, the heel seems pretty thick/sturdy and they have a lovely strap to keep your feet locked in! Finally, girlfriend has a big ole frapp in her hand, worktime perfection!
