New Arrivals from White House Black Market

Hi friends! I know a lot of us are working from home right now so our current workwear might look a lot closer to pajamas but in the spirit of wishful thinking that things will go back to business as normal very soon, I’m sharing some work wear inspiration! If you have followed me for some time then you know that I’ve shared White House Black Market many times here on my blog as they are one of my go-to spots for work wear and special event attire. Plus they carry petite and curvy options for the best possible fit and being a petite gal myself, I sure do appreciate this!

White House Black Market’s new arrivals have me craving warm weather, pretty colors, and florals and I’m sure you will see why! You will see a lot of pinks, whites, blacks and neutrals in WHBM’s new arrival section and I am here for it!

Can we start with these pumps?! They are what I was most excited to unbox as I could already think of so many ways to style them. They are great for the office but I would also style them for date night with a lacy, black bodysuit and jeans! Next up, WHBM’s stretch slim ankle pants are the best fitting pair of work pants I have ever put on. So much so that I probably own at least 4 different colors at this point! They are form fitting but not too tight. They are also stretchy but don’t stretch out. Honestly they are the closet thing you are going to get to wearing leggings to work! I find their sizes run on the bigger side. I am wearing a 00P in the pants, XS in the top and 00 in the blazer.

It must be the shoe lover in me but let’s talk about the shoes first again because I am in LOVE with these kitten heels. The tan and black colorblocking reminds me of Chanel but at a fraction of the cost! Plus the heel height on them is comfortable enough for the office yet classy enough to wear for almost any occasion. I would suggest sizing up a .5 size as they do run a little small.

Now the dress is a totally winner! If I have any Spring/Summer brides, I think this dress would be the perfect shower dress. Honestly this dress could work for any event though. Throw a blazer on with it and wear it to the office or put a graphic tee over the top of the dress, throw on some sneakers, and a jean jacket for the weekend! It really can do it all. PSA: I am wearing a 00 and it’s still a little big so if you are in between sizes, size down.

Spring Teacher Outfits with Walmart

Walmart Spring Work Wear

Last Spring I did a blog post styling classroom appropriate outfits (see here) and to this day it’s still one of the most viewed posts! So since there are so many cute options at Walmart this season that fit the bill, I’m doing a sequel today! If you haven’t shopped in store recently, you are missing out on brands such as Scoop, EV1 (Ellen DeGgeneres’ line) and Sofia Jeans. All of these brands are favorites that used to be online only but have since brought their product in select stores. So if you haven’t checked out Walmart recently, I can tell you there are SO many good pieces! If wanting to find which locations have these new lines, you can check out Walmart.com to use a store locator. If you are local to Houston, I went to the Walmart on 45 and Crosstimbers (4412 North Fwy, Houston, TX 77022).

This $26 little peplum top also comes in the most adorable polka dot style and would look cute styled with a pair of shorts and sandals for the weekend! These $24 white jeans are a total win as they are both stretchy and not see through. A very hard combo to find these days! I suggest sizing down if in between sizes as they do run a little big.

Is there anything better and easier than throwing on a dress and calling it a day? It takes no thought at all and you look put together! This Scoop dress also comes in a navy daisy print option, has pockets, and is just $34! It fits true to size and can be worn with any type of shoes from sneakers to pumps!

Want to check out a few more of my finds from my recent Walmart trip? See below for how to style this $30 military jacket– a closet must have!

Tuesday Trends: Blazers + Graphic Tees

While not two new trends on their own, I have been loving dressing up a cute graphic tee with a blazer lately so I had to do a huge round up this week for our Tuesday Trends series. I know it can be hard to find affordable graphic tees these days which is infuriating because it’s a dang t shirt so I made sure to include plenty of reasonably priced options in the below round up. Also if you want to check out CottonOn, ASOS, or Nasty Gal they have some of my favorite budget friendly graphic tees.

When it comes to blazers, I’ve always stuck to purchasing sophisticated, simple styles but as of more recently I’ve branched out to bigger statement pieces. I’ve been surprised to find just how many ways they can be styled including over a graphic tee with sneakers which is my personal favorite way. Blazers are certainly no longer just for the office and i’m loving it! Try out the trend by checking out the below options and if you are feeling adventurous enough, pair them together!

How to Wear Bold Prints at the Office

Bold Prints at the Office

Leopard, plaid and now snakeskin are three prints that you can expect to see a lot of this season in the fashion industry and that includes work wear too! I was pleasantly surprised to find several leopard and plaid pieces at Walmart recently that were not only cute but affordable and office appropriate too!

If you work at a more conservative office, start small with prints for example wear a pair of leopard flats or possibly a leopard camisole under a solid blazer. Small pops of print are still professional while bringing a little bit of flare into the otherwise repetitive mix. If you are in a more relaxed environment and want to be a little more bold, purchase a statement piece. For example this could be a plaid blazer, a leopard pair of slacks or a snakeskin dress. The key to statement pieces is pairing them with a more muted, usually solid colored piece.

This peplum top is one of those great work to weekend tops that I fully plan on wearing with a leather jacket, jeans and a pair of strappy black heels.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Work Wear Chic Picks

Nordstrom Sale Work Wear

Personally, I think that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year has the best selection of work wear that they have ever had! From shoes, to dresses, to blouses that can easily transition you from work to weekend.

This Eliza J dress stood out to me while I was shopping in store for the Nordstrom Sale. It is such a stunning piece! The emerald green color, collared detail, piped belt, and peplum bottom all make this a very well thought out and gorgeous dress. The fabric is also not too hot and has a bit of stretch to it which I appreciate. It also comes in petite sizing. I am wearing a 0P. See below for some more of my top picks!

HALOGEN PEPLUM TOP

This blouse is my top work wear pick for multiple reasons! It is very well made, comfortable (it is elastic around the stomach), and comes in so many color and pattern options. It also has a clasp near the top of it that can make it more or less modest. Obviously for the office you would want this closed, but for the weekend you could undo it, throw on a bralette and you have a cute girls night or date night outfit! The clasp also makes it nursing friendly for all of my mamas out there! It does run a little big so if in between sizes, size down.

ALL IN FAVOR BLOUSE

I’m all about a piece that can transition you from nine to wine and this top is perfect for that! Throw it on with a pair of slacks (like these) and pumps (like these) for work, and then after 5 throw on a pair of jeans for happy hour! It does run a little big so if in between sizes, size down.
