Mix and Match Classic-Contemporary Wear For Work/Play!

May 2, 2012 • Posted by Eryzle

Mixing something classic with something modern is what’s hot these days. Now if you want to try it out, we’re giving you ideas on how to mix and match different office attires that are not just suitable for work but also for play!

Check this out:

1-BLK DNM Tux Jacket, $600

2-No.21 Pencil Skirt, $645

3-Stuart Weitzman Capsize Mary Jane Pumps, $365

The No.21 pencil skirt, especially with the strip of blush color at the waist, matches the Stuart Weitzman Capsize Mary Jane pumps a lot. Any blazer will do actually, but for a hint of contrast, you know you’ll never go wrong with black. Add a greyish or off-white plain blouse under the blazer and you’re off to show a sleek, modern look.

Now to create a “play look” here’s what I can suggest:

1-Only Hearts Loulou Bodysuit, $135

2-Elizabeth and James Katia Shorts, $295

Using the same shoes [and even the same blazer], you can instantly create an after-work-look just by changing your pencil skirt to these shorts from Elizabeth and James. The white Only Hearts top can probably be used for the office, too! I’m seeing this entire outfit being worn to a night out party.

1-Rag & Bone Sliver Blazer, $495

2-No.21 Lace Pencil Skirt, $895

3-Tory Burch Julianne Peep Toe Wedge Heels, $295

Now here’s a more classic option. An ivory blazer with fold-over lapels teamed with lace pencil skirt may be too classic but with Tory Burch wedges, somehow, the entire look could turn into classic-contemporary. The stacked wedge heel measures about 3.75-inch, so you’re sure to get a lift!

1-L.A.M.B. Sleeveless Print Mini Dress, $395

After looking sophisticated at the office, wearing these same Tory Burch wedges with this L.A.M.B. dress could instantly set a cute and chic look. This can even be worn during casual days or evening soirees.

1-Diane von Furstenberg  Plaxico Blazer, $465

2-No.21 Lace Pencil Skirt, $895

3-Elizabeth and James Selby Pointy Toe Pump, $325

Now if you want a bolder look, having something as vibrant as these purple Elizabeth and James pumps and Diane von Furstenberg blazer would surely make you noticeable. Team it with contrast, classic black skirt to tone down the look a bit.

1-Diane von Furstenberg  Plaxico Blazer, $465

2-Miguelina Jenna Rose Lace Shorts, $240

3-Elizabeth and James Selby Pointy Toe Pump, 325

Since it’s spring season, you know it’s okay to wear anything that’s bright. So, pairing up purple with yellow could pull your style into the season! You can even create a chic colorblocking look with these items!
