I have been back to work now for a few weeks and I already have a formula for getting ready in the morning. Trousers, sweater or blouse, pointy toe flat and a tote bag that can carry my lunch, planner and a clutch or smaller purse.
If there is one thing I could recommend for your work wardrobe is to stock up on JCREW Tippi Sweaters, or the JCREW factory version. The 3/4 length and light knit make it perfect for managing the different temperatures that exist outside and inside the office.
I have also gone back to carrying my large Roots tote. It holds everything I might need. I just throw in my Clare Vivier clutch or a smaller purse to bring along on lunch or on errands after work. I have my eye on this tote in another versatile colour.
I have found that I have been wearing flats more than heels so far. I find that they are more comfortable for the drive and with the elongated toe of these loafers just look great. I picked up the ones shown here at Ann Taylor but I also have these on my wish list.
Outfit details: Leopard Sweater JCREW Tippi, necklace c/o Pink Lovebird, cropped trouser Banana Republic, Shoes Ann Taylor, Tote Roots (old), Rings Stella & Dot, H&M.
What are your easy work outfit essentials?

Love this look and thanks for the advice on the JCrew sweaters, I definitely need to check them out! It can get frigid in the office. I'm in the market for a large tote, I'm currently "the bag lady" I carry around 3 different bags everyday and it's not a good look. Have a Great Day! ~Jamie
