The Work Wear Challenge opened on Monday so I thought it would be fun to revisit one of my favorite ways to dress up jeans to make them office appropriate. Colored denim can work great for a business casual office environment. The key is to pair it with sophisticated separates like a white button down and blazer. Outfits like this make me *almost* wish I worked in an office again!

If heels aren’t your cup of tea, swap them out for a pair of ladylike sling back flats, like these.

A look like this would work just as great with your favorite refined dark wash skinny jeans. This pair would look great with a bright blazer like the one below.

This radiant orchid blazer is the perfect partner for those dark wash skinny jeans and it’s ON SALE.

Finish the look off with a pretty statement necklace in complementary colors to tie the outfit together.

Along with traditional jewel tones and deep, saturated hues, a surprising color trend is making it’s debut this fall – pastels.
The good news is that this trend can extend the wear of some of your favorite pastel pieces from spring and summer. Think twice before you store those pink, lavender, mint and yellow cardigans, blouses, blazers and jeans.
I decided to give it a try with my favorite pair of mint jeans. Adding a navy jacket and leopard heels helped to ground the look and make it more fall-like.

If you don’t have a pair of pastel jeans yet, it’s not too late. Here’s an option in corduroy also made by Kut from the Kloth. These jeans fit me so well – they have the perfect rise, not too high or too low. Their corduroys come in eight different colors.
These would look great paired with a chunky beige sweater and some ankle boots.

Lately I’ve been playing the comparison game and that never ends well. Sometimes when I visit other blogs and see the impossibly cute outfits they put together, I wonder why anyone wants to see what I wear.
At the heart of it, I’m a t-shirt and jeans (or tank top and shorts) kind of girl. I’m mostly unadorned, I don’t accessorize much, I’m a minimalist. I don’t own clutches to match every outfit and I have a few pairs of shoes that I love and wear with almost every outfit. I rarely dress up, although I love to once in awhile.
I’m a mom and I dress like one. I dress for my daily activities and schedule. Some days the highlight of my day is a trip to Target, if I’m lucky.
And this is a real outfit that I wear on those days.
