I’m lucky enough to have never had to work in an office with a strict dress code, and as a designer I doubt that I ever will.  But even if you work in a “creative casual” environment like I do, you still want to dress the part…

With that in mind, I try and keep a bit of distinction between my after hours/weekend looks and those I wear from 9-5.  While I may wear this floaty floral dress on it’s own for a date, or with my fail safe denim jacket on a weekend – for work I layered it with a lace open cardigan to add a bit of visual interest and a structured blazer for polish.  Plus I belted the lace top so that the whole thing looks a bit more put together and less thrown on as I ran out the door (which may or may not be the truth..).  Also, shoes are a game changer in office looks.  With a strappy sandal this may come off as too dressy, but with ankle boots or flats it could veer into overly casual territory.  A neutral, solid wedge is a grounding finish for the the whole thing.  Simple as that. What are your favorite ways to wear Spring trends to the office?
