What to Wear to Work | Ready for Spring

Originally I was going to write How to Transition Your Work Wardrobe from Winter to Spring, instead I'm going to share five ways to brighten your mood and get rid of the winter blues! 
Last month I just wasn't feeling life myself. I needed a mind, body and soul makeover. Every year around this time, this happens to me. The cold winter days drag on, I've gained some weight, I've stopped going to the gym and my eating habits are off. 
One of my best friends texted me yesterday and said, "Olivia, I feel horrible." and encourage me to share my experience with my readers. Here are five things I did to make myself feel better and get ready for warmer months! 

Improve your diet - less candy, pizza and soda. There were days that I was consuming small amounts of fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. My body wasn't getting the nutrients it needed to be happy and healthy. As hard as it was, I said not to pizza and hello to a salad with chicken. One of my biggest improvements was less social drinking. Instead of meeting a friend for drinks, I'd meet them for coffee or a mani/pedi. 
Get back to the gym - it took months to get motivated to get back to the gym. I finally broke and signed up for classpass and it's been one of the best decisions this year. I've been going five times a week and my entire mindset has changed. My routine is a mix of yoga, barre, HIIT and spin. I love the variety in my schedule. 
Get off social media - while the rest of the world is taking vacations all over the world, we're sitting at our desk drinking our morning coffee. 99% of us are all in the same boat. The entire world is not going on vacation. Try and keep yourself grounded with social media, because everything you see isn't real. Also remember, comparing yourself to others is mentally exhausting! 
Go to the salon - make time for yourself and get a facial, spray tan or just cut off those dead ends. Since my body hasn't had vitamin C in months, I decided to get some color on my skin. I booked an appointment at the nearest salon for a spray tan and I immediately felt better. 
Get rid of stuff - that pile of stuff that's been sitting in your hallways, take it to the goodwill or donate it to a good cause. Last week I went through all my clothes and just decided to get rid of everything. Typically I sell things on Poshmark, but this time I decided it was time to donate, I didn't want to store the clothes till they're sold.

On the brighter side, I'm wearing a colorful outfit to transition to spring. The bold pumps and color skirt are a great way to look work appropriate, but also seasonally appropriate.  Club Monaco Top (last worn here) J.Crew Skirt (also love here & here) J.Crew Heels via thredUP (flat & stiletto style) Coach Nolita Handbag

What to Wear to Work | Worth New York

Today I'm launching a new collaboration with Worth New York. Over the next six weeks I'll be sharing looks from their spring and summer collection that can be incorporated into your daily office outfits to your off-duty looks. Worth, a direct-to-consumer luxury brand, offers a highly personalized shopping experience for each customer. For years, Worth offered at-home appointments with a stylist  to find the perfect wardrobe for each women. Recently, Worth opened two uptown showrooms, featuring their Worth New York and W by Worth Collection. The showrooms are spectacular! The Worth showroom overlooks Central Park, with customized pieces imported from all over the world. To maintain that exclusive feeling, the showrooms never cater to more than three customer at one time. 

To kick off the series, I'm wearing the lace flower cutaway dress and nylon trench coat, both in navy. The navy lace overlays a lightweight nude layer, giving the dress texture and dimension. Instead of your standard zipper, they placed beautiful lucite ball buttons down the back to add a ladylike characteristic. 

Aligned with gold color hardware, the double-breasted navy trench is a beautiful piece for any corporate woman. Contrary to most of my trench coats, the longer trench offers me the ability to wear it with longer dresses and midi skirts, making it more versatile for your entire work collection. 

This classic look can be worn to customer facing meetings or daily your daily office outfit. Check out Worth's spring and summer look book collection.

Weekend Wear | Three in DUMBO

I'm really excited to share these photos with everyone. It's been a while since Matt made an appearance on Corporate Catwalk. Matt and I first met when I was a sophomore in college. We moved from the Midwest to San Francisco and then to New York together. We've been through it all. I won't get too mushy, but he's my best friend (and therapist). As you can see in the photos, he loves his little family. Everyday, I'm thankful our paths crossed many, many years ago. 

On the weekends, the three of us are typically wandering around the city.  Having a dog gives us an excuse to get out of the house. Our typical spots are Madison Square Park, Central Park and DUMBO. We love strolling around the area and finding new places to eat or grab a cup of coffee.  And since Batman looooooves people, it also gives him a chance to lick and jump on anyone who will pay attention to him. 

Wishing everyone a great weekend! We're heading back to the Midwest to visit family. Head back over to the blog on Monday, I'm sharing a new collaboration with Worth New York.
