I'd wear this to work, except I wear a uniform :(
The title says it all. Being able to dress freely is the only thing I miss about my old job. I love my current job but the all-black dress code eats aways at my fashion-loving heart.
The Ikat print pants with the lace shirt and gold glitter loafers is exactly my business casual style. Actually, it has all the elements you need to make a great outfit. Texture (lace), print (Ikat pants), shine (glitter flats, also an other texture!) and something that ties everything together, which are my awesome Phillip Lim for Target bag and my necklace.
P.S. I love my shorter hair. It doesn't seem like it sheds as much, and I think it makes me look younger (not a bad thing!)

Thanks girls! I don't get to wear them nearly enough unfortunately.
Super cute! I love this Ikat slacks, and of course the fact that you thrifted them :)
I'm loving the print on your pants! Such a fun outfit with your loafers!

I love them too. I wish I had a plain black pair that were cut the same way! They're Merona but I've searched every Target and can't find the slim cut in my size that's plain black!
Thanks Angela. My boss calls these my Michael Jackson shoes!
On those days I wear (used to wear) a button down, slacks, a statement necklace, cardigan if it is col, and boots or flats! My go-to uniform of my own choice.
I thought it looked very...girlish. With my hair and the lace and the shoes, etc. I'm diggin it! Thanks!
They have become one of my favorite pairs of shoes.
Thanks Kacie! I am happy with them. I got them for my bday in February and they work in Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring. They're awesome.
Thank you!
I thought with the addition of a blazer it could even work in a more formal corporate setting.
Thank you Lauren! I love them. I love the cut and fit of the Ikat pants.
Thank you! I think it looks shinier. I never realized how out dated it looked till I cut it off. I'm hoping my job goes with color when we vote on it in the winter!
The prints on those pants are very cute! They are subtle but draw attention.

An all black dress code!? Ah, I would hate that! At least you still have cute outfits to wear outside of the work place. And you should totally make those coasters I featured on my blog. If you do, you have to let me know!

Thank you Becky! I love my Michael Jackson shoes. You can follow me everywhere in them though cause I leave a trail if glitter wherever I go!
My BFF is an English teacher. I thought maybe coasters with Classic American literature quotes and titles. Like leaves of grass and the raven, etc.
cute outfit! love the bag

Thank you! I love this bag.
An all black dress code would be sooo hard for me! I love the print of your pants!
I love this outfit. So cute. I actually would dig an all black dress code on some days..but I would hate to always be restricted by it!

I don't hate it, I am just so limited. We have 0% creativity. The handbook actually says no costume jewelry and I put my (glitter loafer clad) foot down! I demanded to be able to wear what ever shoes I wish and costume jewelry, naturally. I just wish I could get to wear a different colored shirt now and then!
This could be one of my favourite outfits of yours! I love all of the different textures, while still being neutral and totally stylish. It does stink to have a job with a uniform, but it means less shopping (or at least, it did for me when I had to wear one).

I do shop less, but I still have all my business casual clothes from before. I may be getting promoted so I hesitate to get rid of them lol. Plus they make nice outfits like this one.
I love the glitter loafers!! Are they from Target this season?
They are from the spring. Try DSW cause I'm pretty sure I saw some there too.
I think this is adorable! Love the different textures mixed together! So cute and you are right it would be perfect for a work look (too bad you have to wear a uniform!!!) I love your hair short too! Looking younger is always nice!

Such a cute look! So sorry that you have a uniform--that truly is the pits--but I'm sure you spice up your outfit every day ;)

I'm pinning my own outfit for future reference if I ever change jobs!

I love it! You look so pretty Ashleigh! Great look!
Thanks Jess!
I think I like it most because of my hair. I never realized how dry and stringy looking it was getting till I cut it off!
This outfit is gorgeous! I love all of the textures!
Thanks Rachel!
you make it look easy, you have to go shopping with and help me!
It is easy goon.
