Modern, Sophisticated & Bold: Jazz up your work attire
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Sometimes “officewear” can be pretty boring, depending on how strict your dress code is, and your professional wardrobe can easily fall into a rut when it consists of coordinating black, gray and navy separates. Sure, it makes getting dressed in the morning pretty darn easy, but your wardrobe is a reflection of who you are — and you’re no boring fashionista!
Injecting a little personality into your work wardrobe doesn’t have to be difficult or pricey — it’s simply a matter of adding a few eye-catching accessories to your neutral staple pieces!
Here, I’ve collected a few options that fit into three categories: Modern. Sophisticated. And Bold. If you can score affordable accessories that fall into each of these three categories, it’s super easy to dial up the “wow” factor from monochrome to chic to statement-making!
My favorite pieces in this set are the coral trench coat, the bright blue pumps and the geometric necklace. I’m also totally digging all three rings!
If you want to dial down the color for a demure look, opt for the pale pink pumps and oval pink ring with the pale green trench. For a bolder style, pair the coral trench with the blue bag. And for a totally monochrome look, stick with the gray pumps, black trench and the scalloped silver bracelet.
Mixing and matching accessories is an art form, so experiment with your own work attire ahead of time and then group accessories by day for your entire week to keep those “accidentally slept in” mornings stress-free. Your outfit will look so chic and put together that no one will notice that your hair is still wet!
