How to Dress up your workweek with little effort

Ah yes, it’s that time of year. The time that sends me searching endlessly through my closet and coming up with nothing to wear. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve already used up all of my outfit creativity this season or if I’m just growing sick of my winter clothes but lately, I’ve been in a bit of a wardrobe slump. I’m not inspired to buy many more winter pieces since spring is right around the corner (wishful thinking, maybe?) and I’ve got my sights set on lighter, brighter things. However, I still want to keep my office style updated.

So what is the solution? Well, I find it’s best to invest in a few sale pieces and reinvent your go-to’s with your favorite accessories. I’m talking new jewelry, mixing in a print, or grabbing an all-season dress that works well for both winter and spring. This Ann Taylor Factory dress is just the answer. Styled with tights and classic accessories here, it can easily shift into April and May with a quick shoe and accessory update. When things warm up, lose the tights, swap in a denim jacket and a pair of strappy shoes for a look that’s as fresh as the flowers that’ll be in bloom.

COMFY-CHIC

Yes, you can make a statement in comfier clothes. From oversized dresses to baggy sweaters, even the coziest pieces can pass for chic with the right accessories. When I tried on this loose-fitting Topshop dress, I knew it was too good to pass up. Flowy yet flattering with a belted waist, it pairs well with OTK boots for a low-key winter look. So if you're on the hunt for an outfit you'd basically love to live in, this number is a good start.

THE IN BETWEEN TIME

Ready to retire your winter coat? Same here. As we get closer to March, it (hopefully) means that warmer weather is on the way but at the moment, it's still chilly, drizzly, and drab outside. So how do you keep your outfit fresh while staying warm? Introduce a few new transitional pieces into your wardobe— you know, the pieces that you can wear through May. This slouchy sweater and midi skirt combo is an option that’s incredibly flattering and easy to put together. What are some of your favorite outfits to wear in this in-between-time of the year?
