Neutral cardigan work to weekend

It has been a while since I did a "work to weekend" post, but I am still evaluating my closet with an eye towards pieces that can go both ways. A nice neutral cardigan is one of those pieces.

9 to 5 Style - Ultra Violet

Welcome to 9 to 5 Style! The third  Monday of every month Jennie of A Pocketful of Polka Dots and I will showcase a theme featuring our individual takes on a professional look. Our aim is to inspire and show professional style does not have to mean boring and without personality. We hope you enjoy our 9 to 5 Style!

This month I chose the Pantone Color of the Year Ultra Violet as our theme. I won't say it's my absolute favorite color, as I can take it or leave it, but I thought you might like to see some ways to wear it in your work wear as the color of the year always seems to receive lots of hype. 

Work to weekend: One cardigan, Two ways

Today's work to weekend look is all about a long burgundy cardigan that I originally bought as a weekend piece. I've recently been rethinking it, and I decided it would be a great work piece too.

Winter neutrals

A combination of neutrals always works. I paired camel and black here for a work outfit.

Work to weekend- shooties

Happy Wednesday! Today I'm sharing how I've worn a pair of shoes for both work and weekends. I typically don't wear the same shoes to work that I wear on the weekends. We are not allowed to wear open toe shoes (some peep toes are allowed) or sandals of any kind to work, so that limits me to pumps, dress flats and maybe dressy booties in the winter. I'm not a  "pumps with jeans" kind of girl and during the summer, I'm putting my sandals and open toe shoes to use on the weekends and giving the pumps a break. 

9 to 5 Style- boots

How did it get to be the third week of January already?! 

This month Jennie chose boots as our theme. If you work in a super casual office, then you can get away with boots a lot easier than if you work in a conservative environment. For a conservative environment, you need to choose a sleeker boot with a heel, and not too many buckles or hardware. The easiest way to wear boots to the office is with a skirt or dress.

Work to Weekend- One Piece Two Ways

Good morning! Hope your New Year is going great so far. Today we are looking at taking a sweater from a work to weekend look.

What to wear to the office holiday daytime party

We tend to have our office holiday parties during the day time, usually at lunch. Even though the rest of my day is spent doing normal work things and my attire has to fit work, I still want to look a little festive for the parties.

Blush and burgundy for work

I bought these pants last year and this top either last year or early this year. I spent most of last fall crushing on a blush top, but had to find one that would fit the bill for work. I specifically wanted to wear these two colors together, but I can't remember if I did or not after finally getting the pieces. 

Navy, khaki and cognac

As I end summer and start transitioning to fall, I tend to switch to outfits that are more neutral or non-seasonal. A combo of navy, khaki, and cognac makes for one of those outfits. 

Nautical

I couldn't help but wear a nautical look one more time before summer officially ends. This is also a version of one of my 10X10 outfits.

Pinstripes and florals

I have not worn this pinstripe suit in a long time. It had gotten a little boring to me and the red dots on the cuffs always throw me off about styling it. 

Work Wear Wednesday- Nordstrom Sale work picks

Happy Hump Day! I promised I wouldn't bombard you with Nsale posts, but I do want to share some work wear picks with you. If you are like me, you  get the most wear out of your work wear and can invest a little more in it since you will be getting more out of it.

It's my favorite Monday of the month! I love seeing how Jennie and I take the same item or theme and style different work outfits with it. This month Jennie chose lace. It was a good prompt for me to style this JCrew Factory lace top again. I wore it the first time here. I went with the same color scheme again, but added some pops of color. I have other ways to wear this top in mind, but you just can't beat black and white.
