Workday Dress
You recently saw me wearing this dress to work on Instagram last week. I didn’t wear these heels with it to work, but I just got these new Zara heels in, so I just had to wear them today! I have talked about it some before, but I work in a corporate office and have to dress up. I am not really a dress pants kind of girl, so I wear dresses or skirts everyday, except on Casual Friday! To me, dresses and skirts are so much easier to wear, and they’re more comfortable too. Not to mention, they make you look polished and professional at work without too much effort. I have always tried to “dress for the job I want to have.” On here, I show you a lot of outfits that I wear after work or on the weekends, so I thought it would be nice to throw in a few looks that I actually wear to work like this one here. Most of the other outfits I wear on here, I will wear to work but just wear the skirt lower instead of high-waisted, or I will swap out the blouse for a different color (I don’t want to blind them too much at work with my neon!) I try to include a good variety of different types of outfits for different types of events. Are there any more types of outfits you would like to see? More work outfits? More casual outfits? How do you dress for work?

The Zara heels are gorgeous! My office is very casual so my work and weekend wardrobe is very similar. If I ever change jobs, I'll need a ton of new clothes, ha. Thanks for linking up 🙂

I don't work in an office right now, but when I did, I hated wearing pants too! It always made me feel so stuffy and old! I love the colors on this dress though…so pretty!

I feel the same way about dresses and skirts! I used to wear pants all the time and now I think that is so boring. I try to dress as nice as possible most of the time, no matter what the job. I have a casual workplace and sometimes when I dress up, others want to know what I have going on that day! Anyway, love the colors in this dress!

Fantastic dress!
Love the dress! I try to dress for the job I want, not the job I have, even though i don't know what job I want! I also just like to play dress up 🙂 I'd love to see how you do actually wear the outfits to work. Maybe one photo of that with the photos of how you style it outside of work?
Gorgeous as usual!!

That dress is fabulous….totally something that I would love to have in my closet!! And those heels….oh my word, those heels!! You MUST be the best dressed girl in your office, FOR SURE!!!

I totally agree with you about dresses and skirts. I just get so cold in my office when I wear them!! Such a cute clutch!!
Love seeing work outfits!
Lovely dress! It really stands out against your simple accessories! Loving the shoes as well!

Loving those heels! The dress as well, but especially the heels! 🙂 It's funny; I work in an office too but I am the opposite. I have worn a dress to work once in my almost three years here. I don't really know why I don't wear more dresses! To me, pants are more comfortable, keep me warmer in the freezing AC, and I don't have to worry about showing too much walking clients up and down the stairs. I have come to love colored Paige Denim skinnies because they fit so well and don't look like jeans. 😉

I am so loving the colors of this dress on you, so cute!
I love Maggie London dresses – they are always so comfortable and polished all by themselves! I could definitely see this with a black or colored blazer and flats for the office! Love the colors!

Whenever I have to dress up for work I tend to gravitate towards dresses or skirts too, it feels much more "me"

Imagine your outfit, plus a blazer and pumps instead of sandals… and that's my usual work attire! At least it makes you strive to think outside of the pant-suit-box and mix and match different pieces! I am seriously loving your dress & those heels though!

This dress is beautiful! And those Zara heels are amazing! Love this look. I like how you mix work and weekend outfits on your blog, so keep it up! Its also fun to do a work/weekend mix…like that shirt from last night. Do a dual post on how to transition 1 top from work to fun! 🙂
