02 Apr Cubicle Chic: 3 Pastel Looks for the Office
As winter {finally!} comes to an end, it’s time to freshen up your work wardrobe – with chic shades of pastel. Trade in your drab winter greys for stylish hues of mint, lavender, blush and powder blue.
Check out three style options to rock this trend in a professional, affordable way.
Blazer / Shirt / Necklace / Pants / Heels
The great thing about pastels is how well they pair together. And this mint blazer and blue shirt make a very chic couple. Add white pants and a gold necklace for a luxurious look and watch the heads turn as you breeze by. Have fun trying out some different color combinations, but keep your look luxe with a white bottom and gold accessories.
Dress / Earrings / Bracelet / Heels
The simplest way to incorporate pastels in your wardrobe is by adding just one piece, like this fab solid colored dress. And another great color combination to try is mint and blush. As complementary hues, wearing them together makes the other stand out. Just rock tamer accessories such as nude heels as to not overwhelm the outfit.
Blouse / Necklace / Skirt / Heels
If those two outfits are a bit much for your style {or your office} try adding a subtle hint of pastel in your spring outfit. Keep it simple with a basic black top and graphic skirt with pastel details. Couple with a classic pearl necklace for a clean look.
