There are two things that I am impassioned about- clothes and my job. First, I feel so lucky to have a job that I love and enjoy going to. I feel good about what I do and I feel so privileged to be so privy to the human experience. With this said, I sometimes have a hectic work schedule and often times, I work on the weekends which usually includes wonderful special events or training volunteers. Other times, I just go into the office to get some work done in the peace and quiet to get ahead for Monday.
Now, this is where my zeal for clothes comes in. Truthfully, if I had my way I would stroll into work wearing leggings, a University of Florida sweatshirt, and running shoes. Hell, I would wear my pajamas if it were socially acceptable but its not. Though comfort is key for me when working long days and sometimes weekends. My goal when getting dressed in the mornings is to look both stylish and professional. On the weekends, the target in mind is the same.
What to do though? Do you go for comfort or style during weekends in the office? I go for both. I strive to create outfits that I wouldn’t be embarrassed to run into upper management in. Trust me, no one wants to see their boss while wearing their ratty housecoat. I also try to style myself in a way that works for meeting friends for brunch post-work.
This topic has been on my mind for a few weeks after someone asked me about what to wear to an off-site weekend meeting. My advice? “Whatever you do, don’t wear a tracksuit.” With this said, I have included some great sample outfits below for weekend work. I have modeled them after some tried and true staples that I keep in the rotation for those extra busy weeks. Happy styling!
