This post is a bit of a project in options, since I just recently purchased this blouse from the Atlantic Pacific x Halogen collection. Trying it on in store I could mostly see what I wanted to do with it, but I also hadn't bought such a brightly patterned piece - outside of a dress - in a long time. Thankfully these vintage trousers I picked up over the summer are turning into a wardrobe workhorse, and pair so well with pretty much everything. The gray blazer (also second hand, this time from Poshmark) I threw over it at the last minute (this was almost pictured with a leather jacket) and the look felt finished to me. The super high rise pants and long length blazer balance each other out nicely in my opinion, while the subtle tweed textures plays well with the floral print.

Since I can't seem to find a space to take outfit pictures at my new job, it's been almost impossible to get what I actually wear to work up on the blog. And because I actually do enjoy the business/business casual pieces in my closet, this makes me a little sad. Rather than admit total defeat though I decided to take part of my weekend to recreate a couple of my favorite work looks, using pieces that are still available in stores. So no, this isn't what I wore the whole day Saturday, but it is what I wore the Thurs before that!
