Work + Pop of Color

J Crew pleated dress // Stella McCartney long sleeve shirt // J Crew drape jacket // Topshop floral skirt // Nine West slip on shoes // Milly handbag // Gold necklace // J Crew leather wrap belt

It's February 5th, if you are Chicago-resident, spring won't be here for another 3-4 months, but you can still dream of losing your winter jacket, snow boots, and black suit, for ligher fabrics and pops of color. The things I wish I knew before I started working. I would have definitely invested in two suits - a black suit (Fall/Winter) and white/light grey one (Spring/Summer). From there, color can come and go. So if pinks are your thing, this ensemble would work - wear the blouse with the suit or skirt, layer it underneath the dress for those colder spring days, and always the dress + jacket combo. Color blocking is a god send. And if you are going to work, nothing is going to fit in less than a tote!
