Workwear Capsule Wardrobe Part III : More Outfit ideas

Hi everyone,

Welcome back. If you haven’t already done it already, please click here and here to read part I and part II of my workwear capsule wardrobe and then come back to wrap up our series with me here. And no, we are not having the black blazer today. I am sure you can envision all the look with the black blazer yourself so It’s time to have some fun now that we have reviewed the basic of being classy and work appropriate.

When I overhear conversations about workwear, I mostly hear people talk about all the fabulous clothes they can’t wear to the office. But office-appropriate attire doesn’t need to feel safe or boring, in my opinion. Workwear has changed drastically over the past decade, the modern working woman has proven to be an endless source of inspiration for fashion brands who constantly rethink old classics, resulting in a more varied offer of office-appropriate pieces to choose from.

I actually like dressing in a way that can reflect the importance of my professional role (sales and marketing director for an IT company) but still allows for my individuality and personality to shine through. The common theme is more around confidence, being smart and groomed and looking like I am showing up to achieve something great (which I usually do -lol).

So today, I am sharing a few ideas of how I play with my wardrobe to make it more fun and modern but still work appropriate with a hint of fall.

A few more ideas from previous posts or from my archives. Please note that you should take your work environment into account. If you are working for a financial/insurance institutions (or even a corporate sales environment) you may not be able to push too hard but remember in any case, a blazer is your best friend. Also, please excuse the poor quality of my archive’s image.

From that section of my closet that I go to when in rush:

My Go to Dress. So versatile and classic.
