The first quarter of the year is speeding by and it’s usually right about now that we start to lose our enthusiasm for power dressing to work. The ‘New Years Resolution’ buzz is #SoFarGone and we can barely make it to the gym, not to talk of wrestling with wardrobe decisions on a daily basis. Being motivated enough to find a work-appropriate, comfortable and stylish look everyday can be quite daunting. We get it. If you’re looking for some inspiration for quick pieces to upgrade your work closet, you’ve come to the right place.

 A STYLISH TOTE

What’s in a tote? First off, you can pack your lunch, gym clothes, and more everyday essentials in this fashionable carry-all. An attention grabbing number like this Mmadilue number means you’ll be happy to carry it around all day.

A CHARACTER- BUILDING BLOUSE.

Wearing bold prints and sumptuous texture adds character to your look. Jazz up your wardrobe with a vibrant organza top like this one from  Mary Maii which is sure to become an office staple.

A SPICY ENSEMBLE

Spice up outfit for the day with a versatile, daring printed or bold coloured bottom. A well cut pencil skirt feels very sophisticated for work, and you can infuse some 70’s elegance with some fresh wide leg pants or printed flares.

STATEMENT JEWELRY 

A statement earring (or necklace) can go a long way (and it’s a little easier to get away with for people who work in environments with strict dress codes). Throwing on a great pair can not only make elevate  your overall look, but can improve your mood (trust us!) We love this distinctive piece by OCHA, minimalist but striking in its simplicity. Bold jewelry distracts from less than stellar outfits and every little helps when taking on the day right?
