Outfits of the Week (OOTW) - A Glimpse Into My Worklife Wear

So I rarely showcase what I am wearing throughout the week partially because I don't have a photographer to take the pictures for me (and I don't want to have the same pose each time in the bathroom mirror lol). But this week, I wanted to give a recap of the outfits that I wore last week to church, to work, and throughout the weekend, so you can get a glimpse of my fashion sense. One thing about me, I don't like to be so...conventional when it comes to what to wear to work (or any other place for that matter). Although, I am an engineer and I work with tractors (in directly) I still like to bring my girly flare into the workplace. FYI: I will be doing a post about 9 to 5 chicness (sprucing up your work wardrobe) later on this week, so be on the lookout. So I don't want to come to work in just a pair of khakis and a button up polo (although, if that's what you wear to work there is nothing wrong with that). Here is a tiny glimpse of what I typically wear throughout the week!

This look is very casual. My church doesn't require you to dress up so I just threw this on because I liked the color combination and the contrast between the florals, the mint jacket, and the chocolate brown.

• Floral Jeans - Charlotte Russe
• Brown Tank - Unknown
• Gladiator Sandals - DSW
• Louis Vuitton Bag - Gift
• Fedora (not shown in first picture) - Target

This look is a definite contrast to the floral printed pants I wore the day before. It is much more dark almost vampy yet still polished enough for work.

• Black Flats - Target
• Satchel - Gift
• Silver Necklace - Forever 21
• Michael Kor's Watch - Macy's
• Diamond Studs - Gift

This last outfit puts the casual in "Casual Friday." I love these denim jeans because they elongate my legs and make me look slimmer and taller. I like to call them my magic jeans :)

• Green & Black Belted Blouse - Forever 21
• Denim Trousers - New York & Co.
• Black Ankle Booties - DSW

Me, Myself, & I

I tried something new with my hair, I liked how it turned out

So as you can see, my style varies throughout the week. I don't really have a specific style, but I do like to play with patterns, shapes, colors, and push the envelope a little bit when it comes to the standard 9 to 5 gear. Hopefully, if you've gotten in a little rut when dressing for work this post will inspire you to think outside the box and be a little more daring!!!
