Off the Shoulder Works

Hey friends! Long time, no posts. Well, confession…I’ve been in a little blogging slump but I’ve also been distracted by selling and buying a home. Is it really going to happen? This I don’t know but we’re moving to the end and hope the answer is yes. I’ll keep you posted.

Whitney and I are collaborating on little series with remixing a work and casual look. Usually, we’ll be here on last Monday of the month but this time it’s Tuesday because of Memorial Day yesterday. For my look this month, I decided to remix an off the shoulder top. Another confession, this is really my first off the shoulder top. Don’t know why I haven’t hopped on the trend but alas I’m here.

I recently picked up this little black off the shoulder top at Old Navy. I purchased it for casual wear but knew I should be able to pull it off at work too. Let me know what you think about that one.

Simple and cute isn’t it? I’ve been working on narrowing down my closet. I’m working on a base color palette with a few accent colors and prints. Both of these pieces fit nicely into those areas.

So this totally works for casual but can it be pulled for work? Let me know what you think.

I brought up the shoulder part and let it look like a scoop neck top. It’s a scoop in back too but I do think it’s doable for an office unless it’s a business formal {blazers, heels, etc.} type of atmosphere.

My plan is to sneak this little top into my workwear this week and listen for any objections or comments. I really don’t think that will happen because my last experiment rendered no comments. I wore these grey pants on a Monday and Wednesday and either no one noticed or they didn’t say anything. I think it’s the former because we tend to think a lot about we wear and remember our looks but co-workers aren’t paying that much attention. Well, that’s what I think. What about you?

Need a little inspiration for work and casual wear? Hop on over and check out what Whitney’s wearing today.

Have a great day, friends!
