Work It! - Leah Behr

I recently decided I’m going to start posting a few more workplace appropriate outfit posts. I work in an office environment, which I sometimes feel like I spend more time at than my own home, and I feel like it’s important to show that you can dress appropriately for the office while still expressing your personal style. I personally find dressing for the office to be fun, because it’s so different than how I normally dress. Work wear allows you to dress up and be the person you want to be that day! Do you struggle with dressing for work? I’d love to hear your comments, on upcoming work outfits that you’d like to see.

  I love that you mentioned that, because we actually got caught in the middle of a freak snow storm that blew in for 30 minutes before blue skies came back out. It was so funny!

It *IS* hard to dress for work — especially in the winter. Looking forward to seeing your outfit combinations this season, you're off to a great (and stylish) start!x Halliecorals + cognacs

Found your blog through Stylin in St. Louis and I just wanted to say that all my outfits that I post are ones I wear to work! I love office-appropriate style the most and actually struggle with casual clothes more. So, if you want more work-appropriate ideas come and visit :-)Your tweed outfit is super cute, though. I love anything tweed and the white and black combo is even more classic.
