Work outfits
How do you organize what you wear to work?
Do you wear black pants every day? Do you mix it up? Skirts one day, dress another day??

Re: Work outfits
I am really boring, so there isn't anything to organize lol. I wear black pants every day. I have a bunch of pairs of the same two types of pants... one type is a a bit more flared and the other is an ankle length style. I have probably three or four pairs of each. All in black. What can I say. When I find something comfortable, I stick with it! I wear different tops, so my goal is to try to not wear the same top in a two week time span. Pretty much always wear the same shoes (again, same thing as above. Except with shoes, my criteria drops to "tolerable" instead of "comfortable") Thankfully, I work with 98% men, so no one really notices what I am wearing. If I wore a skirt or a dress, I am sure one of them would ask who was getting married or if I had an interview. Because of the type of work I do, I need to wear relatively flat shoes. Because my feet suck, I need to wear relatively supportive shoes. I haven't found utopia and unicorns yet, so I suffer through barely tolerable ballet flats from Target lol.
I love when I can wear my jeans and converse on Friday. My DH swears I was born with half of a man's brain
I really, really do wish I had any fashion sense (hence the reason I am ever even on this board... hoping maybe some of it will rub off on me lol!), good self esteem/body image and a great wardrobe full of pretty things and sexy (but well fitting!) shoes. And no bunions. Alas, I have none of that. So I wear what is comfortable and I'm grateful to be in a position where no one notices that I show up in black pants every. single. day!

Work outfits
I don't organize it at all. I usually just go with whatever I feel like wearing that morning - which depends a lot on the weather for the day. In my current job I have some days that I have to dress professionally and other days that I can dress pretty casually - so that comes into play too. I love dresses for days I have to dress professionally - so easy and more comfortable than a suit. But, I also love to wear dresses/skirts a lot anyway, so I also have a lot of more casual type dresses, for both the winter and summer. I almost never wear pants when I have to dress professionally. When I dress more casually, I have a lot of the Alfani pants from Macys that have been posted about here a few times (but I have the pants, not the capris.)

Re: Work outfits
I don't organize it. I wear what I like.
I usually only wear dresses. I hate pants.
On a rare occasion if it's FREEZING I'll wear black pants but I find that so boring.
In the summer on a rare occasion I'll wear colored skinny capris.
I also hate having to pick tops to go with bottoms and I suckk at that so I wear dresses only

Re: Work outfits
EVERYTHING, literally everything in my work wardrobe is Black, White or Grey. That way everything goes together and it takes very little thought to get ready. I own about 3 pairs of black and 3 pairs of grey work pants, same in Skinny Capris for Spring/summer. Then I have a bunch of sleeveless tops (also B/W or Grey) that I wear on their own, or in the fall/winter....same shirts as spring, just have an assortment of black, white and grey blazers and cardigans that go over them. I have one pair of black pumps, one pair or black flats and one pair of black boots.
Thats it for work.

Re: Work outfits
I wear whatever is clean and quickest to grab
A mix of pants and dresses/skirts. I hate my legs so now that it's summer I'll actually wear dresses less often because I can't wear tights. But I have a variety of pants and tons of dresses.

Re: Work outfits
My dress code is business casual. I don't have anything organized, I just wear whatever I'm in the mood for & what seems to look good together & I usually go several weeks between wearing the same thing over again. I get bored with black pants but I do wear them maybe once a week. I also have grey, brown, tan, and pinstripe pants so I can mix those with different sweaters or shirts depending on the season. In the winter I generally wear a sweater or long sleeve shirt with pants and boots or flats. I never wear dresses in the winter because I'd get too cold. In warm weather I'll wear skirts, casual dresses, or capris with a short sleeve top, and a pair of sandals. Usually I wear a neutral cardigan over my top because my building can get cold with the air conditioning.

Re: Work outfits
not super organized - i normally go on the weather for that day. Winter i get boring and wear black pants most of the time. I have black gray and tan and i normally pair with a sweater/long sleeve shirt and boots/heels.
summer i wear mostly dresses or capris with short sleeve/sleeveless shirts and heels. I have way more summer options than winter i feel. i rarely wear a dress in the winter bc I am always cold. haha

I live in black ankle dress pants with pretty, flowy tops, and then I dress them up with accessories or statement shoes or a blazer. A few good wrap dresses, too.

Re: Work outfits
I am in the 'what fits my fat ass today" camp ..........I have a closet full of beautiful clothes ......that do not currently fit. So, I'm rotating between wraps and sheaths that fit me ....... I am not a fan of pants unless I'm very thin (see above for current status ) so I'm usually wearing a dress.

Re: Work outfits
My suits are all black grey brown and blue.I have cardigans and blazers in other colors for seasons. I wear shells most of the year in various materials, colors, patterns.
I have a few dresses and skirts. I love dresses in the summer but haven't had time to find ones I love.
I always wear a cardigan or blazer/suit jacket as our dress code is corporate / summer corp casual.
My shoes are are all pumps - nude, black and navy. Black booties in the winter.
I change which shoes depending on outfit but do not have time for accessorizing and storing big jewelry. I admire women who match accessories so well each day! I wear larger pearls or simple studs and a pearl or diamond pendant and my rings everyday.

I could have written this except instead of colored I wear white capris occasionally. I have a pair of wool winter white ones for winter too.

Work outfits
My work wardrobe is mostly black or gray pants, patterned sleeveless blouses and black or gray cardigans. My office is freezing so I need a cardigan or blazer every day. I use my blouses or statement necklaces to introduce color and not feel so boring.
