What to Wear to Work | Vera Bradley Giveaway

In the past few weeks, I've been working with Whitney from Heart & Arrow Design on a few changes to Corporate Catwalk. In the redesign, I wanted to keep the blog layout simple and clean. The 'Corporate Catwalk' logo got refreshed and at the bottom of the site a few categories have been added. If you browse through the site you'll probably notice a few other tweaks, but for the most part the blog has remained the same. I hope you enjoy the new look! 

As part of the redesign, I wanted to share something special with my readers. I've teamed up with Vera Bradley to giveaway this quilted leather backpack.

Day to Night | Camel Regent Blazer

 The J.Crew regent blazer is one of my staples in my closet. If you were to go through my archives, you’d see plenty of outfits of me wearing this blazer. When I travel, I throw on this blazer and a knit scarf. When I don’t know what to wear to work, I wear this blazer with a black cami and a statement necklace. For my busy lifestyle, I need pieces in my closet that I can grab off the hanger and be out the door.  What I’ve found with this neutral blazer is that it can be worn with almost anything in my closet. In today’s post, I wanted to show the versatility of this blazer. It can be worn with a button down and skinny jeans, but it can also be worn with a bright floral dress.

What to Wear to Work | Bright Structured Dress

Welcome back! Today's post is a little different from my Monday blog series. Instead of sharing a day and a night look, I'm sharing two ways to wear a bright structured dress to the workplace. 

In outfit number one, I'm layering with my favorite Ann Taylor shirt. This stripes are a great way to add texture to a solid color dress. You can add dimension by flipping up the collar and sleeves. The camel coat and fedora don't take away from bold dress, instead adding a more professional appeal to the outfit.

As for outfit number two, it's a little more traditional. Adding black pieces for a more subtle look. By wearing a red lipstick it adds a variety of color, so you don't feel like you're dressing up for Halloween.
