True story: I absolutely hate wearing suits to work.  They just always seem so blah, and I feel like I get lost in a sea of pinstriped commuters whenever I wear them.  I threw one on this morning (with a plain white blouse, no less) and was ready to walk out the door when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.  On the inside, my heart longed for pastels and florals.  On the outside, I looked like I was headed to a funeral… ok, maybe it wasn’t that bad. Anyway, I came up with a happy medium and was pretty darn pleased with myself.

    Love the floral pumps, that really makes it more special for office attire. I hate suits too, so finding ways to make it “funky” are always in order.

    This is a much softer take on a suit. The colors look gorgeous with your skin tone! And, those shoes are toooooo cute – definitely anything but boring!

    I love this blazer, its blush pink colour is so lovely! Definitely a fashionable alternative to a plain suit, especially when paired with these amazing floral pumps. Now I think I love everything about this outfit.

    I don’t like wearing traditional suits either, I too like to rock a jacket with a dress! Loving the heather grey!

    Actually you look fabulous. The skirt length if perfect for you and very flattering and I love the jacket. And since I am a total shoe addict, of course I adore the shoes.
