Hello!! This past Friday was a super awesome one for work because I got to go to the Q104 radio station in Cleveland to shoot content for my boss, Tim Misny. I have never been to a radio station before and it was really exciting! When I am at a content shoot as a social media manager, I always want to look my best and be fashionable while still wearing something work appropriate. This look was definitely too warm for the ninety plus degree day, but it was just right in the nice and cool studio that we surprised the morning hosts, Bill and Alyssa, at! Check it out:

Who? What? Wear?

Floral Print Blazer: Scotch & Soda, TJMaxx

Cami Top: mittoshop, French Rooster

Mini Skort: Almost Famous, TJMaxx

Kitten Heels: Nine West, TJMaxx

The earrings were a gift from my mother-in-law!

Whenever I think of work appropriate staples, my mind instantly goes to blazers. They are such a classic piece and can be worn in any color or pattern while still looking professional. This is where I began building my outfit and I went with my pajama top inspired blazer by Scotch & Soda. I love this blazer and find the color palette to be most flattering. I also chose it for practicality’s sake. It is, easily, the lightest blazer that I have and I think I would have melted in anything heavier during the uber hot day!

Once I settled on a blazer, the rest of the outfit came to me in a vision. In the name of keeping cool, I wanted to do a skirt and top combo. As this was an OOTD for work, shorts were out of the question. So, I chose the next best thing – a skort! Paired with the blazer, it really did look more skirt than shorts and that was perfect. All I needed was a top and my black lace cami from French Rooster was the obvious choice. With the bold patterned blazer, it was best to keep the rest of the clothing plain Jane for a sharp and cohesive look.

With the base of the outfit ready to rock and roll, it was time for shoes and accessories. I knew exactly what shoes I wanted to wear and slipped on my pair of Nine West kitten heels. They are just so cute with the pointed toe and blinged out band! Sweet little touches like that and the lace on my cami added visual interest to the OOTD without going overboard. Sometimes, when it comes to work fits, less is more and a few well placed pops can go a long way. For earrings, I went with my new favorite pair of silver earrings from my mother-in-law. As I said, less is more and a necklace would have looked way too jumbled against the blazer pattern. With that, I was ready to rock the airwaves at Q104!

I loved my Off To The Studio OOTD and thought it combined professional with personality perfectly. Try saying that five times fast!

What is your work clothes style? What is your go to professional staple? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
