Since starting my current job I've been trying to develop a personal style that both pleases me and fits with the business casual dress code requirements. Too often business casual clothes can look frumpy or bland, and I never want to sacrificing style for my job. Finding a wardrobe that worked best for me involved a bit of trial and error but I think I've finally found the perfect balance.
After obsessing over the Goldstein sisters' wardrobes in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" earlier this year, I found these Tina inspired trousers from J. Crew (
similar). I love pairing those with this olive blouse from Loft (
similar) and a cardigan sweater (
similar). All I need now is a cropped bob and a long coat. I'll be off helping Newt hunt down escaped nifflers before you know it.
Just ignore the unironed shirt, clearly I haven't learned all the rules of fashion blogging yet.
When I asked my friend Sandy if she would snap some photos of me on our break, I wasn't expecting to feel so ridiculous standing out by a parking lot full of empty cars. Most likely the handful of people present at the time were not paying attention to what we were doing, but I could not stop giggling. Thankfully Sandy still managed to get some good shots.
What do you guys like to wear to work? Any business casual staples you'd recommend?
