Ahhhhh...this is MUCH better! With the slacks, heels and cardigan, I feel much more professional and office-appropriate.
Originally I was going to wear this shirt with my black pants, until I remembered these white ones. I also had a brief moment where I considered trying to pull off my white skinny jeans. Then I chickened out. I'm not usually one to push the limits in the office intentionally and I'm pretty sure white denim would do just that. What can I say? I'm a goody-goody.
I do need to find some slim-fitting slacks though, just to add some variety to the silhouettes that I wear in the office. 
I would have worn yellow pumps with this outfit...except that I don't own any. I have my yellow peep-toe wedges but we're not allowed to wear open-toe shoes. To get my yellow fix, I added the flower to my belt and the necklace. The flower was actually attached to the Easter basket that my mother-in-law gave to my daughter, with a little mini-clamp. The clamp makes it stick out a little far but with this belt it's hard to notice, so it works.
So what do you think: would white skinny jeans have come off as professional with the rest of this outfit or is it good that I skipped them?

I don't know if white skinny jeans would have been "professional," but they're definitely acceptable. I would totally wear them to work and I think they would have topped this outfit off nicely! You would definitely be the trendsetter in the office!
ReplyDeleteyou and kendi are both rocking the white pants today! i need to get me a pair!
ReplyDeleteI think white skinnies would have been great with this, although I love what you're wearing too :) I think if you wouldn't have been comfortable in jeans, then you definitely made the right decision - better to get changed than spend the whole day *wishing* you'd changed.
ReplyDeleteI would say that skinny jeans are not appropriate for the office! Any type of denim or jean type pant is not appropriate. Even on a casual Friday - it is not acceptable as office wear in an office setting. Totally different rules for retail but not for a medical office. That is my professional opinion:) I know that if one of my employees showed up in them that I would be sending them home to change.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I think I'm going to try to find some other white pants that aren't as wide, maybe skinny trousers or something similar.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that denim isn't quite appropriate for a professional business setting, especially when I'm walking amongst patients. I just want to play with a different silhouette for work. All of my pants seem to be the same right now!
I love your outfit!!! I am not too sure about the skinnies! I would have to see it to decide! I think you look perfect in what you have on!
ReplyDeleteI love this! The colors are awesome. Love the pops of yellow.
ReplyDeleteI definitely wouldn't do skinny jeans to the office and we're business casual. We can do jeans on Fridays but I still wouldn't do skinny jeans. Just my opinion, though - every office is different!
