Most of you know I don’t work in an office any longer, so my posts regarding work appropriate wear have been missing from the blog. Sorry about that, ladies! This burgundy look is a new favorite for so many reasons. The sweater is beautiful and soft with a bit of a fun ruffle on the cuff. (It’s also on sale!)

The pants are perfectly cropped in a beautiful print with button detailing on the outside of both ankles. Since this is something I would wear to a professional workplace, I opted for my trusted Tory Burch Moon Satchel and the Louboutin pumps I’ve been wearing since I got them 4 years ago. They’ve held up well! Both the top and the pants are from Banana Republic, but I refuse to purchase anything there unless it’s at least 40% off. Every so often, if I found something I just can’t live without- I’ll pay full price. That, however, raaaaarely happens. BR has the best sales because they rotate clothes out so quickly everything goes on sale after a few weeks, it seems. Also, I wanted these pants cropped, so I actually ordered them in petite. (If you’re under 5’5 I highly suggest doing that for cropped pants and jeans. Just be sure to check the size guide to order the correct size.)
Oh, and the lip color is this and I’m loving it- despite the hefty price tag. (I got it during the Sephora VIB sale.) I’ve been getting into berry lips this winter and that lip balm is the BEST ever.

We’re all feeling a little fierce this week and LOVING how Michelle and Ana Luiza styled their looks!!! Last week we had a couple of favorites from the link up: Jana from Jana Style and Katya from Style Sprinter.
Thank you for inviting me to your linkup! In my excitement I added a post not in the theme! So sorry. I don’t know how to delete it… Thank you and next week I’ll pop back with metallics x
wow, love this look on you, so pretty!

Burgundy is one of my favorite colors and I love the ruffle detail on the cuffs…the pants are perfection for work and the button details make them a little bit different which I love!

I have never worn so much burgundy as this season! I love this combo!
I agree with you on a couple of points. I never buy anything at BR unless it’s at least 40% off and thank goodness they seems to have sales often! Also, since I am 5’5″ getting pants in petite helps with the cropped look and then I don’t have to have them hemmed!
You are just gorgeous in this sweater!

Adriele!!! I’m in love with this outfit—It’s so realistic and exactly what I’d wear to work (before I retired, LOL)
Happy Monday!!

So funny that you’re wearing this sweater in this post because I just ordered it on Black Friday! I agree that I only buy Banana when it’s on super sale…I love their items but I’m usually a bit more casual so I don’t like to spend too much on their stuff. I can’t wait to style this sweater, too!
