Winter Florals

I had a reader write me last week asking for some creative layering tips for the office.  When I used to work full-time (before I had kids), I remember how unbelievably cold our building was and some days I would end up wearing my wool overcoat at my desk all day in an effort to stay warm.  A better solution by far is this silky blouse + textured sweater + blazer combination – it works equally well with cropped trousers or a skirt & strikes just the right balance between cozy and polished.





What I’m wearing:

Zara blouse (similar), Old Navy sweater (here), H&M blazer (similar here or here), Kenar pants (via Marshall’s; similar here or here), Guess pumps (similar), Merona clutch (on sale here), c/o Outrage Fashion necklace (here), c/o Wren & Glory ring (here), Simply Vera Vera Wang aviators (similar), Lips: L’Oreal Colour Riche Fairest Nude

    That necklace is amazing! I love, love the layering that you have going on. It's perfect to brighten up a dreary winter day and can so easily transition into spring!

    This is a great look, Kimberly! I've been looking for outfits to wear to the office that isn't "office-y" because who wants to wear skirt or pant suits? Thank you for this look and I hope to see more from you!

    I'd love to see all your layering tips! I think layering is one area that I struggle in. I just feel frumpy! I love the color of your sweater and the silk blouse is a great pop of color! <3

    Great outfit! Love the necklace and the overall touch it gives the shirt and blazer. Lovely blog, by the way. Just found it.

    I'm always so afraid to wear white in winter but you make it work! I love it and may definitely try something like this late winter/early spring!

    This is a great outfit! I have that same sweater from Old Navy from last year, and I've almost worn it to death. The pastel looks great on you. Also a great combo with the white blazer to add structure and crispness.

    love that lilac on you, and the layering is perfection! I wasn't sure how I felt about the silver metallic heels but they've so grown on me; like to the extent I need to stalk out a pair ASAP.

    I love this idea for layering! It works great and the textures work so well together! It is freezing in my building almost every day, so I wear a very unfashionable fleece zip up with our company's logo on it 😉 Maybe I should try this instead!

    Girl, you could teach a classic on how to layer – this is awesome! I love the look crisp whites during winter; I love how you added a beautiful pop of color w/ the lavender sweater and the florals! A very happy winter outfit! 🙂

    Really DO love this look. And thanks for the great advice. I always find myself wearing my winter coat inside. It's pretty annoying, specially after you spend all morning trying to put together the perfect outfit… to just hide under your coat all day. xo
