I’ll be honest with you - finding unique and fun looks for work is challenging. It’s SO easy to go straight for the pencil skirt, button up, blazer look but I never feel good wearing that. I like to add more interest (and quite frankly, more comfort) into my workwear.
This is an outfit I’ve worn to work quite a few times, not even gonna lie. What might otherwise be a simple black and white look (which is ok in my book) is brought to the next level with this fun berry-colored cardigan for Fall. Although my style has veered away from the preppier looks this year, a fun cardigan is still a staple in my closet. The long line looks flattering with skinny jeans, a shift dress or a high-waisted pencil skirt, making it super versatile (a MUST for anything in my closet.)
And even though I’ve also veered away from wearing a TON of color this year, I like to break my own rules sometimes. ;) Plus it matches one of my favorite lip colors, a collaboration between beauty blogger Claire Ashley and custom lip-color guru, Makeup Meltdown. This is the Manhattan shade and if you want it, you better snatch it up quick because they’re only available for a few more weeks!
