Office Essentials

Hi again!  Sorry I haven't posted in a while; I've been incredibly busy with school these past few weeks, but the good news is that I only have five weeks of school left!  Until then, I'll just be trying to post as often as I can.
In other news, I was contacted by Betabrand to talk about what I consider to be office essentials.  Every office is different, but here are some key pieces that I think would work for every environment.

BLAZERS
One can never go wrong with a blazer.  They instantly add a more professional touch - even if you're just wearing jeans.  I personally like boyfriend blazers over the more traditional, fitted blazer.

BLOUSES
Button-ups are a classic piece, but this one from Zara separates itself from the pack with its bare shoulders and ruffles making it a great piece for spring.  Other than button-ups, I love turtle necks.  I used to not care for them, but over the past few months I haven't been able to keep them off.  Though most turtlenecks are meant for winter, this one from Aritzia is the perfect weight for spring.

TROUSERS
Sure, jeans are cool, but there are so many other amazing options.  Culottes and a high waist are some of my personal preferences, but if comfort is your thing, then you should check out the pants from Betabrand.  Many of their pants look office appropriate while still being incredibly comfortable because of the fabrics and materials used.

SHOES
I own way too many pairs of black ankle boots, but that's because they're appropriate for everything.  They go with everything from dresses to culottes.  And if your office is more casual, I adore my Adidas Superstars.  I found this pastel pink and floral pair that I would love for spring (I know, I know... "Florals?  For spring?  Groundbreaking.")

ACCESSORIES
When working in an office, of course you'll need a tote.  Everyone has one, so why should it be boring?  I love this Calvin Klein one, but I just adore silver.  Finally, not necessarily office essentials, but just wardrobe essentials: a good belt and sunglasses.

I hope you liked this post!  Hopefully I can fit one more post in this weekend!
