Wow. A lot has changed in the past few weeks. I hope this finds you and your family doing well and staying healthy and safe. I took these pictures before our “new normal” started and it honestly seems like it was years ago. While this was a normal work outfit a little over a month ago, work outfits look a little different these days. Here is a look at work wear: then & now.
With the new year, I am back to sharing my work outfits on Instagram. You can find me on Instagram at rach.mccarthy. You can see my last workday outfit post from the summer here. Not only am I rounding up three of my recent winter workday outfits, but I’m also sharing some workday outfit inspiration for spring. Although we haven’t had true winter conditions yet in the D.C. area, I still have my mind on spring clothes!
I have used the same work bag for years. And when I say years, I’m not kidding. While I was interning in D.C. the summer before my senior year of college, my husband (then boyfriend) bought me this Longchamp tote. I have carried it to death and believe it or not, it’s still in great shape! And that was 10 years ago!! But, after having some neck problems (you may remember me talking about the most amazing neck massager that has saved my life in this post) I decided I needed a bag that was more friendly on my back and neck. This laptop backpack has been a lifesaver! Today, I’m unpacking my bag to give you a peek of what’s inside and talk all about the bag’s features. Here is what’s in my work bag:
There is nothing like a good little black dress. I probably have a few too many in my closet, but when you consider it’s versatility, I don’t think having too many is a possibility! And that especially goes for one that you can wear to your 9-5. I picked up this cute fit and flare black dress at the same time I bought the pink one in this post. I knew this simple black dress would be the perfect wear to work dress for summer and fall.
Summer wear to work clothing can be challenging. If your office is anything like mine, it’s chilly 365 days of the year! Layers are most definitely a necessity. A few weeks ago, I spotted this dress and thought it would be a cute and cool summer dress. Easily throw on a jacket or a cardigan to create the perfect summer wear to work dress.
