WORK WEAR BLUES - VELVET TOP AND STATEMENT NECKLACE

Published by Atinuke Adeleke for Zuri Perle on 7th Oct 2017

If you’re someone who works a 9 to 5, it’s understandable when dressing up for work turns into something tasking and mundane, instead of fun. I go through the same struggles, particularly on days that there’s just so much going on and I’m simply not in the mood to dress up.

I usually conquer my dress up blues with jewelry, so I've decided to start a work outfit series that features statement jewelry and how that can bring the pop you need when things get a little boring.

You don’t have to go all out on your office choices but having stand out pieces are a quick and simple way to add a bit of character into your look when you need that extra pep. Colorful statement Jewelry can also be a great layering piece in the fall and winter months when outfit colors tend to get darker and a little more somber.

Today's post features this jade pendant necklace, also available in Blue, Black and Green

I paired it with a velvet top , pleated skirt and blazer. To achieve a cohesive look, I kept all elements of the outfit in the purple and blue color wheel house.

The complimentary shades of blue and purple pulls the outfit together. For a simple guide to choosing the right colors for your outfits see my previous post HERE

I can never say no to purple. Fell in love with this top at first sight. Velvet is a great option for fall/winter and its great for layering.

My second look is a little more subtle than the first and features the same necklace, I chose a plain white shirt (always classy) and paired it with a classic pencil skirt. The classic silhouettes keeps the focus on my necklace.

A simple office outfit can instantly become a day to night look with the right choice of jewelry and accessories.

Go ahead and battle those office wear blues with statement accessories and don't forget to have fun with it.

Thanks for stopping by Zuris. Have a great weekend.
