Dressing Up Tees For The Office: Business Casual Style With Pencil Skirts and Blazers

The benefit of working in a business casual environment is that it's perfectly acceptable to wear a tee to work. It was a staple for casual Fridays for me (back when I worked 5 days a week) but I thought I'd give it a go again recently. With some heels, a pencil skirt and a blazer, I felt my tees were dressed up perfectly for my office - particularly when my boss is wearing jeans. I do have a very casual business casual office.

What I wore:

Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in grey marl
SkirtAsos blue textured lace pencil skirt

BagBalenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

I didn't like this outfit as much as I'd hoped. Last time I wore this cream blazer with grey I wasn't very impressed with the final outfit. I decided to try it again with a grey tee this time, one of my favourite grey pieces, so I was sure I'd love it. I really didn't like this combo though. It was a comment from Sheila that explained it to me: the grey tee is a cool neutral, the cream blazer a warm neutral, and they are both a similar intensity of colour, so they don't look great together.

It's definitely not going to be a combination I repeat again in a hurry. I did think about a bright necklace with this in the morning to add some more colour, and think that or a scarf would have helped. I thought the purple Balenciaga work bag would be bright enough but it really wasn't.

It was a really busy day at work though, so it flew by and I didn't have much time to question my outfit choices, other than to kick myself for not taking an extra minute or two to try something different when I looked in the mirror that morning before leaving the house! I forgot my lipstick and mascara that morning too - I think I was still half asleep for a while! 😂

Why I wore it:

Was a little unsure about the lilac tee with the darker purple bag when I was planning this in my head, but I really liked this outfit! Unlike the outfit  above, I think this black blazer matched the outfit nicely, with the black texture on the skirt.

It's really interesting how even if you follow the same outfit formula you can have such different results with the outfits you create! Definitely shows me I still have lots to learn about style :)

What also helped I think was the bright colourful statement necklace to make me look more awake this time, as well as remembering to put my lipstick on! 😂

V-Neck Tees Under $50:






How You Can Wear It:

A tee is one of those pieces you can easily dress up or down just by changing what you wear with it. If you have a more formal dress code these might be casual Friday only options for you. If you have a business casual environment like mine or aren't in a customer facing role then dressing up a casual tee for the office with a blazer, pencil skirt and heels could be a great mid-week outfit idea for you!

V-Neck Tees, Printed Kimonos and Mini MAC Bags: SAHM Style

Kimonos aren't just summer pieces for me. I like to wear them in spring and autumn too! They just add an extra level of interest to an otherwise plain shorts and tee outfit. With the outfits below, I picked a kimono where the print matched the colour of the tee I was wearing. You know I like a little matchy-matchy!

What I wore:

Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

It's not the first time I've worn this aquamarine bag with purple, I really like the combination. It was the perfect accessory to pair with the purple v-neck tee and the purple floral kimono.

Busy morning with a few errands to run and a quick dentist appointment for toddler T before his swimming lessons. He did really well, helped I'm sure by the fact that they were playing Paw Patrol on the TV in the ceiling, he just laid back and watched the show the whole time, haha!

Why I wore it:

Another day with the kids trying to run errands meant another simple outfit was needed. When I got this coral tee home after picking it up in the sales, I knew I had to try this outfit combination with it, and wore it just a couple days after buying the tee. The bright coral colour was such a good match for the orangey reds in the print of this Kindness collective kimono! Such a winning combination paired together.

While it wasn't a very exciting day, I did love wearing this outfit and I am sure to try pairing this coral tee and the printed kimono together again soon! Such a fun bit of matchy-matchy-ness!

Stuck with silver for the accessories, with the silver pendant necklace and Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag to be a balancing neutral for all the colour and print.

How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and a tee is such a staple outfit. To add a little extra interest to your outfit, you can put a fun printed kimono on top. It's a nice way to change up the look of a shorts and tee outfit without much fuss. If you're unsure, you can always pick a kimono with a print that matches the colour of the tee you're wearing for an easy, cohesive look.

Blue Printed Maxi Skirts, Pink Bags and V-Neck Tees

More simple outfits with a mum staple, a classic v neck tee! Wearing colourful tees and blue printed maxi skirts, with my Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag and Converse.


What I wore:


navy striped maxi skirt with Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony  | awayfromblue



Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)


Why I wore it:

I had planned to wear this maxi skirt for Monday but I was a little unsure with the rain forecast! Luckily while it did rain this maxi skirt isn't a floor brushing length so it stayed dry. A striped maxi skirt is a staple and in a neutral navy it goes with so much in my wardrobe, I'm going to hit 30 wears on it next year for sure. As I really like blue and pink together I wanted to wear this pink v-neck tee with the navy skirt. Surprisingly it's the first time I've worn the two pieces together despite my love for pink and blue.

While the bright pink of the tee looks great against the navy, so does this little blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag. The blush pink works well with both the bright pink and the navy, it's a really versatile shade of pink.

Wore my comfortable Converse for a little bit of running around with the school run, sports for the little one, and then sports for both kids in the evening after school pick up.


Last worn: pink tee, silver circle necklace, navy stripe maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag.

Review and What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Darren





What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac

ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)


Why I wore it:

Again with another blue printed maxi skirt and the same blush pink Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag. Like the navy skirt in the first outfit, the blush pink works so well with the lighter blue tie dye print on this maxi skirt. I added another colour to this outfit too with the lilac v-neck tee. Pink, purple and blue are such a lovely trio together!

I wasn't too sure at first about the gold statement circle necklace with the silver hardware on the Darren bag, but I really wanted to wear my new-to-me necklace I picked up at the opshop as soon as possible! It was a nice accessory with the lilac tee and I think the mixed metals worked. Again I went with Converse, blue ones this time to match the light tie dye on the skirt.

Another nice colourful and comfortable outfit, it was a very humid day so I was glad we were able to enjoy the aircon in church that morning!


Last worn: lilac tee, tie dye maxi skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff peony small Darren bag (above). First time I've worn the gold necklace as it was a recent purchase.

Other ways to wearlilac tee and culottes, tie dye maxi skirt in monochrome outfit, blue Converse and tee dress, Rebecca Minkoff peony small Darren bag and pink dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: lilac tee in second trimester.


How You Can Wear It:

Pink and blue are lovely together in any shades, as you can see in these two outfits with the different shades of blue. For something a little different you can add in a third colour as well! Lilac works equally well with pink and blue.

Knotted Tees Over Maxi Dresses With Chloe Paraty Bag : Weekday Wear Link Up

Using my favourite trick to change up a printed maxi dress - knotting a tee over the top! Perfect outfit formula for an autumn day in Brisbane, especially when paired with a cute crossbody bag like the Chloe small Paraty.


What I wore:

kmart tropicana floral coral tiered maxi dress with chloe periwinkle small Paraty | away from blue

Dress: Kmart Tropicana sleeveless tiered maxi dress (worn 30 times)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

This maxi dress is such a staple - and this was it's 30th wear! I was so happy to be able to put together a 30 ways to wear post with it, it's a dress I really enjoy wearing. Nice and colourful outfit for spending the day out with the kids - it looked like it would be a cooler day so I added the black tee on top but it quickly warmed up and I had to hunt out some shade to sit in as the kids played in the playground. Luckily the library we headed to afterwards had aircon!

The black Converse matched the black tee nicely, but I felt it dressed down the outfit a little so I added the pretty gold statement earrings to stop it looking too casual. The blush necklace I was surprised to see that I haven't worn with this dress before as it compliments the colours in the print so nicely!

And of course the periwinkle blue of the Chloe small Paraty bag works so well with the blues in the floral print. Just big enough for some snacks and all our water bottles too.

Dress: JayJays feather print maxi dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

This outfit just duplicates the first one really. Again I knotted a v-neck tee over a printed maxi skirt, and added black Converse, a blush and gold necklace, and the periwinkle chloe Paraty! I do like repeating an outfit formula if I enjoyed wearing it previously.

With the lilac tee and the darker feather print of the maxi dress this is a very different colour combo from the first outfit, but that same comfortable formula. I wore it for another day with the playground and the library too even! Not quite as fun as the day above though we also had some errands to run which did not go smoothly. And then because 2 of our routes home were blocked we had to take the long way around, turning a 5 minutes trip into 45 minutes with the traffic. One of those days!

I did however really like the purple and periwinkle combo - I'll need to wear this Paraty bag with purple again in the future!

How You Can Wear It:


A knotted tee over a maxi dress is a great option! It can add a little sun coverage on a day at the playground, or warmth on a cooler autumn day. You can pick a tee that pulls some colour out of the print of the dress, or contrast it entirely. A a neutral like a black tee always works!

Purple Tees, Printed Kimonos, Denim Shorts And Rebecca Minkoff Julian Bag

Two simple but colourful outfits for hot spring days: denim shorts, Converse and printed kimonos with purple tees. Both of these tees are different shades from the colours in the kimonos, but I think they work well together! The bright blue Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack adds an extra burst of colour to each outfit too.

What I wore:

lilac tee, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue | awayfromtheblue

awayfromblue Instagram | denim shorts lilac tee printed kimono playground outfit with rebecca minkoff julian bag

Jacket: thrifted digital print no label kimono (new purchase)
Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

Wore this on a particularly hot and humid day! We tried to head out early to explore a local bike trail - and with things getting a bit safer with less virus cases around in Queensland I let the kids enjoy the playground along the trail too. We haven't been visiting playgrounds as much as we used to, although they have been open for a long time here. People don't social distance and they can be a bit crowded so I prefer staying away - but the boys enjoyed visiting this old favourite playground again for something different, even if I was constantly getting out the hand sanitiser!

Didn't stay as long as I'd hoped as it was a really hot day, but the kids had fun for a little while.

I expected to spend more time in the playground and less walking along the trail, so I wore my Converse as I didn't need as much support for my knee. I'd thought of wearing this purple tee with the printed kimono when I spotted it in the opshop, even though the print on the kimono is magenta, I thought the purple tee went really nicely with it!

The Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack is always a good choice on days out with the kids as it holds water bottles and snacks well.

TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

This tee is kind of between burgundy and purple - it's official colour name is wine but I thought it looked burgundy enough to pair with this red printed kimono, for something just a shade different. it ended up looking significantly different when worn side by side, but I liked the combination enough to give it a go!

Headed out with hubby to go check out bikes with the boys, something we want to buy as a Christmas present but the stock shortages around Australia make that tricky! It was a bit of an unsuccessful shopping trip, so to rescue the day we headed out in the afternoon after it cooled down a little for a walk around a local trail. I'd swapped my Converse I'd worn in the morning to my daggy but much more supportive sneakers, I really need them for this longer trail.

I'd been looking around for a good spot to take a pic when we came across the red flowers on this tree, the perfect location, as it matched the kimono so well! This was a really comfortable outfit for the weekend.
 


How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and tee is a staple outfit for a hot day - and you can add a little more interest to your outfit with a fun printed kimono. Even if the colours in the print don't match the tee you are wearing!

Knotted Tees Over Tiered Sundresses With Chloe Paraty | Weekday Wear Link Up

Making spaghetti strap sundresses work for autumn by knotting some colourful tees over the top - easy outfits!


What I wore:

pink tee knotted over floral print tiered kmart sundress converse and chloe small paraty bag | awayfromblue

Chloe periwinkle small Paraty with blue and pink printed dress | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

Wore this for the school run, working from home, and a doctor's appointment in the afternoon. With the mask rules being lifted in Brisbane so we can walk on the school grounds without masks, I was happy to wear these pretty statement dangly earrings. Of course I realised when I got to the doctors that I forgot I'd have to wear a mask for the appointment as it's a healthcare setting, oops! A little tricky with such statement earrings but I was just super careful putting the mask on and off.

I absolutely adored this outfit - even though the shades of pink in the tee and in the floral print of the dress are very different. I think having the matchy-matchy of the turquoise tassel earrings and beaded necklace pulled it all together perfectly, and I'll have to try those two accessories again!

It's not the first time I've worn the Chloe Paraty with this dress - I like the two different shades of blue together, just like the two different shades of pink above. I've modified the strap so that it's really easy to take on and off the bag too. As you can see in the photos though I didn't realise I'd accidentally hooked the strap onto the ring of the zipper instead of the ring on the side of the bag - I quickly noticed walking around that the bag wasn't sitting right and fixed it before I went too far!


Last worn: pink v-neck tee, turquoise tassel earrings, turquoise necklace, blue tiered sundress, Converse, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wearpink v-neck tee and printed jeans, blue tiered sundress and denim jacket, Converse and midi skirt, Chloe Paraty bag and printed shorts.

What's In My Chloe Small Paraty Bag






What I wore:

lilac tee knotted over black tiered printed sundress sneakers chloe paraty bag | awayfromblue

black printed dress, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty | awayfromtheblue


NecklaceRoie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I repeated it again a few days later with a different v-neck tee and a different Kmart tiered sundress. Sometimes it pays to buy things in multiple colours! I liked the extra touch of colour the lilac tee gave to this little black printed dress. Again I went with the Chloe Paraty bag - although it doesn't match anything in the outfit it goes with so much and I like blue and purple together.

Wore this for a fun playdate with the kids that didn't quite go to plan - I usually try get there early to get a nice spot in the park to setup our picnic blanket, but we were super late for this one and my friends had been quite worried until we eventually turned up! Had to cut it short because of the rain too, as a little shower set in about an hour after we arrived. All the more reason to organise another playdate in future - that we hopefully won't be as late too!


Last worn: lilac tee, pearl tassel necklace, black tiered sundress, New Balance sneakers, Chloe Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wearlilac tee and culottes, black tiered sundress in winter, Chloe Paraty bag and midi dress.

How You Can Wear It:

When the weather cools in autumn or spring, you can make your summer sundresses go a little further by knotting a tee over the top. It can be a great way to add more colour to a neutral dress too, like I've done in the second outfit.

Pink and Purple Tee Outfits With Navy Printed Culottes

Pink and purple shorts and tee outfits with some bright and colourful crossbody bags. Because I love wearing bright bags, even when I'm also wearing a colourful outfit! I love these navy culottes too and wore them in the previous post, they have been summer staples.


What I wore:

pink purple navy outfit with blue printed culotte shorts lilac v-neck tee and magenta bag | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta with navy printed culottes | awayfromblue



NecklaceZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta


Why I wore it:

Wore this to be extra colourful on a pretty standard school run and work from home day. I had to log out a little early to take my son to an appointment in the afternoon too. With a lot of driving and running around, the Adidas superstar shoes were so comfortable!

The lemon myrtle print on these Kmart navy culottes has yellow, pastel pink and blue in the print, but no purple. I still thought that this lilac tee would be a good pairing with them, it goes so well even if it doesn't match the print at all.

The magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag was a fun pop of colour with the navy and lilac too - and since I didn't have to carry much in my bag on this day it was the perfect size. Just enough space for phone, wallet, keys and hand sanitiser.







What I wore:

bright pink frill sleeve tee with navy stripe culotte shorts and chunky sneakers crossbody MbMJ bag | awayfromblue

thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet | awayfromtheblue



Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve tee in fuchsia
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
ShoesKmart white chunky platform sneakers (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet (new purchase) with Rebecca Minkoff Crystal Star Shoulder Guitar strap


Why I wore it:

This was a fun Sunday! We headed out to the playground a little early to try beat the heat and chilled in the aircon at home afterwards. This fuchsia pink frill sleeve tee hasn't been worn in a while and I was curious to see how my newly thrifted Marc By Marc Jacobs bag would look with it - it's a very purple toned magenta but it looks almost burgundy against the fuchsia tee! I liked the combination though and I went with the neutral navy striped culottes to balance out the bright bag and tee together. The Kmart chunky platform sneakers were another recent purchase too, at just $2!

This Marc By Marc Jacobs convertible clutch is supposed to be a shoulder bag - it comes with a shoulder strap, but being a mum and preferring crossbody bags I knew it would be great for that too. I had this Rebecca Minkoff embellished guitar strap that hadn't been used for a while and it makes the bag a perfect length to wear crossbody! Even if the bright tee and the embellished strap felt a little overdressed for a quiet Sunday at the playground, I still thought it was a fun outfit.



How You Can Wear It:

Pink, purple and navy are a great combination of colours to wear together! You can go really small by adding a colourful bag to your outfit for a third colour in the combo, or bigger and bolder with a pink or purple block colour tee and navy shorts.
