Outfit: Summer Work Style

May 21, 2012

On TAGG’s Facebook page this weekend, you mentioned you’d love to see more of my work looks. This worked out well since that’s what I planned on showing you today! Our office is business casual; do you need to look more corporate? If so, check out this recent look that would be great for summer (consider swapping out the black blazer for a light neutral).

As you know I’m a bit of a cardigan addict. I’ve amassed about three floral cardigans and I highly recommend you do as well. It doesn’t seem like an obvious ‘closet must’ however it adds such vibrancy to a look be it for work for weekend. This cardigan has been around for a few season and continues to bring in the compliments. I’ve even worn this out, buttoned up like a blouse with a tank underneath, with a pair of jeans. Loves.

For summer work styles, look for brighter colors and light weight fabrics, but me mindful of rising hemlines and showing too much skin (a workplace no-no).  And, while our office is business casual, I wouldn’t wear this when meeting with a law firm yet it’s perfectly appropriate for our meeting with a non-profit client… consider what you have going on each day.

Not a skirt person? Swap this out for a pair of pants; I love navy.

cardigan: old navy (2010; similar for under $20!) // camisole: h&m (march 2012) // skirt: j. crew factory (may 2012; similar) // heels: mia rhodes  (last seen here) // necklace: forever 21 // watch: michael kors (2011) // tote: michael kors (march 2012; birthday gift!) //

    Alas, I have no floral cardigans. This is inspiring me!

    • ALyson — TAGG

    First of all, I am also a cardigan addict and completely support the idea of 3 floral cardigans being an absolute necessity. :) Second of all, I love your shoes! So cute!

    I love the green and blue together, one of my have color combos. That sweater is so sweet reminds me of marimekko

    Absolutely love this - you look wonderful. I’m a cardigan addict too but I think mine are all plain! Wish I could mix colours like you.

      You can totally mix colors! The easiest, fail-proof way is to get a cardigan with a lot of colors and then pick out colors from there. Guaranteed to work. Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Ok, that is the cutest office outfit I’ve ever seen!  Beautiful colors!
