I have always been hesitant to wear this gingham button up to the office. It appeals to me as more of a casual shirt as worn here. However, adding a structured blazer, dress pants, and faux pearls gave it the business vibes it needed to be worn to the office. Don’t ever discount a pattern or piece as not being office appropriate. Well, some things are, but depending on what you pair an item with, it may just become office appropriate.
I hope you guys had a great weekend. I also want to welcome my new Bloglovin followers. I hope you find inspiration here.
Have a great week! How would you wear gingham to the office? Be sure to check out Jennie’s post.
