Black and white monochrome office outfit

Outfit // Meaning business

2/19/2015

Top: H&M / Pants: Zara (similarhere andhere) / Heels: Zara (similar here) / Bag: Modalu England (sold out in this colour, but I also love it in grey and tan!) Earrings: The Looking Glass Shop / Necklace: Tatiana's Delights / Watch: Peugeot

While all the major fashion lovers are battling the snow and cold in NYC during New York Fashion Week, here in Holland we are actually experiencing a really Spring-y week (yay!)

Working at a law firm three days a week means I need to have enough clothing suitable for the office, but I always love to spice things up a bit with a pop of colour or an interesting print. Professional outfits never have to be boring!

Do you work in a corporate environment? I'd love to hear about your favourite style cues when it comes to your office attire in the comment section below!

Love this look! Could definitely see myself wearing something like that to work (I'm training to be a lawyer, too!). Although I'd probably accessorize with a pair of dressy flats as I love heels but they're terribly impracticle to run around court.

My position is office manager of a hospitality group, so our dress is very casual. I wear jeans every day, and I admit that the 3 pairs I own are very cheap and don't fit that well. Since I wear jeans every day of the week I know I should invest in a better quality and fit. On Sundays for church I wear a black skirt. Would you believe that right now I don't own a single dress?!?

I am on my feet a lot during the day and my feet actually give me quite a bit of trouble, so I fluctuate between one black pair and one brown pair of Alegria shoes. For spring and summer I have been contemplating investing in a nice pair of flats (London Soles, or maybe the Sebago boat shoe) to mix things up a little. It just depends if they provide enough support for the long days! For church I wear booties, wedges, or heels.

Lately I have been exclusively wearing Anthropologie tops for work. The tops are casual and very suitable for my job, and they usually have a little something unique which makes them better than a plain knit t-shirt. The trouble is that the general Anthropologie look is not really my first choice for fashion, but I don't know what else to do!! For church I typically rotate between 3-5 of my fancier tops that are a silk or chiffon-type blend.

So while I am very pleased that I can wear casual clothes, you can tell I'm unsure of nailing down a style that is suitable for my job but that I actually like. Do you have any advice for how I could find some preppier, more classic, Kate-style tops that I could wear with jeans? Although I can dress casual I still want to look really nice and pulled together but not boring.

Your outfit shown here is PERFECT! So, so cute!!!

Hi Tatiana! Love this outfit on you! The drape of the blouse is so very flattering. Would you say the pants you have on are ankle pants or capris? I'm seeing a lot of ankle pants in the stores now and I'm not sure how to style them for the office. I do like the way you have done it with the blouse and heels. Very sophisticated.
