I realized that I don’t often put together a work-friendly outfit and that’s because I really don’t go to work in a corporate setting. I know most of you ladies are looking for some outfit inspiration to kinda spice up your work outfits. But how creative does your workplace allow you to be in your outfits is the question. Anyway,  I always thought that pencil cut is relative to a corporate setting. That’s not true of course. Just change the print of the skirt to say a colorful floral and it then becomes good for play! Houndstooth is a big trend these days and I believe it is quite acceptable in a corporate setting. Depending on how creative your workplace allows you with your outfit, you can match it with pastels and some layering like I did here. Note to self: It’s probably not good to tuck a chunky sweater in because it becomes bulky in areas where you don’t necessarily need the bulk. Moving on, the good thing about the black and white skirt is that you can go with darker colors or some lighter ones to match it with. There’s quite a few that you can do to style it so if this inspires you, don’t be afraid to experiment with your tops. You can go just with a plain simple collared blouse or do the layering that I did here which is always fun during winter.
