WORK TOTE

Zara basic leather shopper - ASOS scallop edge shopper - Rebecca Minkoff Dylan tote

Clare Vivier simple tote - Gap leather neon tote - J.Crew biennial tote

Annabel Ingall small Isabella tote - Madewell transport tote - Ela Scandi weekend star tote

One thing that I have at the top of my need-to-get-ASAP list is a great work tote. I was given a work bag when I first started working with company's logo on it. As much as I love all the pockets and its durability, I really want something nicer and stylish. I know that I want something leather that I wouldn't mind wearing for other purposes (i.e. traveling). As much as I love a bright neon option or even red, I know that I will get more value out of a more neutral tote.

What are you currently using to lug your stuff to work?

WORK TO WEEKEND: STRIPED SHEATH DRESS

Work // dress - earrings - purse - trench - pumps

Weekend // dress - sunglasses - vest - studs - sandals - clutch

I love sheath dresses. They are easy to throw on to wear to work or to go out. The cut is flattering and works on so many different figures. With its simple shape, you can really play around with patterns and colors. This Dorothy Perkins lemon stripe dress is a great pick at only $44! The yellow and white stripes are perfect for spring.

BRIGHT FLORALS

Gap dress, Forever 21 jacket (old. I love this similar jacket in leather), Nine West heels, Forever 21 clutch, Vintage watch and bracelets

We have had CRAZY weather the past few days here. There was a awful storm on Friday and it brought some cooler weather along with it. The cool breeze still hasn't stopped me from wearing my new spring favorites like this Gap dress. I love the bright floral pattern and I've already worn it work. The perfect spring dress in my book.

WORK TO WEEKEND: MINT + PEACH

weekend // skirt, blouse, shoes, earrings, tote

Today's post is the first in a new series that I'm starting here on the blog, Work To Weekend. As I've said here plenty of times, when I shop, I try to find pieces that can do double duty. I buy clothes that I can wear not only to work, but to other events in life. I saw this Tara Jarmon skirt this past weekend when I was on Pinterest. I love the colors. Mint and peach create such a fresh color combo. This skirt screams Spring!

CASUAL FRIDAY

So it's not Friday, but tomorrow is so close enough, right? I have to say while I love casual Friday, it can often be a challenge. The hardest part is trying to remain chic while still taking advantage of the more relaxed dress code. These street style photos offer the perfect inspiration if your in a casual Friday rut.

Who says you can't wear sequins to work? Actually, your boss might. You should definitely get a feel for your office first. If you have an office that is already pretty laid back from M-T, sequins on Friday might be ok. I love this skirt paired with the silk button up blouse. I would without a doubt have a productive workday in sequins. You just have too!

You can still wear a "suit." Patterned separates are easily polished with a great blouse and blazer or jacket in complementary colors.

Casual Friday is the perfect time to play with color. I love the mustard and burgundy in this look. The pieces are tailored so they still look professional enough. Leave the metallic strappy sandals in your bad for after work. Even those aren't appropriate in an office setting on a Friday.

Let's be honest, on casual Friday we all just want to wear jeans. If you are going to wear jeans, make sure they don't have holes or too faded. The worn look isn't professional enough in some settings. A dark wash is always the best way to go.
