And in Southern California, we're FEELING the heat! 

One of the outfits that's been on repeat for me is this hybrid piece of culottes and jumpsuit. It's quite simple, really - the airy pants and low cut stop are both essential in keeping me cool! Tobi really nailed it on this look with the Anisha Midi Jumpsuit

I would be wearing this piece all the way into fall, I already know! Possibly pairing it with a tank top (also high neck) on the inside to add a bit of coverage. Can’t wait!

We still have about a month and a half of summer left. What’s your outfit on repeat this so far?

The Perfect Spring Color in My Work Blazer https://inthemarginalia.com/blog/2016/05/the-perfect-spring-color-in-my-blazer/ https://inthemarginalia.com/blog/2016/05/the-perfect-spring-color-in-my-blazer/#respond Fri, 13 May 2016 19:45:00 +0000 http://mycubiclechic.com/index.php/2016/05/13/513the-perfect-spring-color-in-my-blazer/ Black, white, nudes, gray, and monochromatic color combination is typical for women's workwear collection because they're season-less. But once in a while, I give into the temptation of something that's a bit funky, a bit different, and a bit..dare I say, colorful! 

This blazer I bought from Nordstrom, and it's the brand Halogen, which is Nordstrom's own creation. I love the fit, the color, and length, and the material. It's really the perfect piece!

P.S. Scroll to the bottom to find out about the Poshmark Party I’m hosting on 5/24, and the specific items I’m looking to feature in this party, themed VACATION VIBES!

I also recently became addicted to looking and admittedly, shopping, at Rebecca Taylor pieces on OffFifth.com because they’re just SO nicely made!  And OffFifth offers sweet discounts on these amazing and versatile pieces making the temptations even stronger. You should really check it out!

PSSSST: I am hosting a Poshmark Party on the app on Tuesday 5/24/2016 at 7PM PST!

Elle, blogger at The Gray Asparagus, Lisa at HelloImFabulous on Instagram, and I are teaming up to host this awesome Vacation Vibes Poshmark party on Tuesday 5/24. We each have a different sub-theme, i.e. our own take on the Vacation Vibes theme. Mine is “European Escape” since I just came back from a business trip in Germany (did you see my Instagram documentation of the beautiful Munich trip?). I would love to be tagged on items such as comfortable but stylish travel clothes, floppy hats, comfortable shoes i.e. SNEAKERS!

Find me on Poshmark here @CubicleChic!

Happy Friday, you!! I am sharing a Friday casual outfit with you today, quite unlike my usual office wardrobe outfits!

But before that – what are your plans this weekend? Doing anything fun? I am spending time with family and WORKING OUT. Yes, exercising has definitely been on my mind lately.  I blogged about how to stay healthy in the corporate office lifestyle here, and if you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen a lot more sporty/athleisure type of outfits and accessories. For example….

THESE SNEAKERS. Can we just take a collective moment of silence in honor of how GORGEOUS they are?

*silence*

Anyhow… moving onto the outfit.

It was easy putting this outfit together, because the top basically speaks for itself. I just paired it with neutral and “quiet” type of pieces so they don’t compete with the top.

I’ve always believed in keeping a “Monday outfit” edge in casual Friday outfits. If you work in a relatively traditional and conservative environment, even if it’s Casual Friday, it doesn’t mean you should show up in ripped jeans and see-through or sequin tops.

The truth is, even on Fridays you are building an image, a reputation even, amongst your peers, your superiors, and your inferiors. It’s okay to be more comfortable and laid back, but being respectable and put-together should still be a priority.

Ok, the half-tucked-shirt trend may be a bit much if you are REALLY going to the office now. But I thought for the photos I would throw it in to make the ensemble a bit more interesting. Tuck it in otherwise!

This top was purchased from the outlet website of Saks Fifth Avenue, Off Fifth (all inked below). In my opinion, it’s one of the most underrated websites to shop at. They have a ton of designer stuff at heavily discounted prices, you just might be surprised!

What’s your casual Friday outfit principle? Do you have any? Share with me below!
