So, I decided to bore you guys with another work outfit today :). because you don’t always have to opt for a blazer or cardigan to wear with dresses or skirts. I think it’s always good to mix things up. Which is why I wear this anorak with dresses. One of the top 5 pieces in my closet is this anorak that I got from H&M’s garden collection back in March. I don’t know why I’m so obsessed with this thing, but, I wear it with everything from leggings to skirts to sweats. A few of my friends have told me that it doesn’t go with everything, but, I ignore them (I know it doesn’t, but who cares). I mainly like wearing this anorak with dresses because it so unexpected. I wore it to work this week as an outfit not just as a jacket.
This Fall season, I plan to wear more military jackets with my dresses and skirts to individualize my looks. I know I may get some looks that read, “what is she wearing?” but, that’s just me and my personal style. I don’t have to follow anyone else’s. I got this dress from Faith 21 on a rainy day when I was bored. I bought it so I could layer other things over it. Yes, it’s basic, but, the color is awesome. I love me some cobalt blue and I also was drawn to the the criss cross detail on the back.

When I saw that dress I immediately guessed it was Faith 21 and got sad immediately after this discovery. How did I miss that gorgeous dress?
Love the heels with the entire outfit, btw.

Love the idea of putting leopard shoes with that spectacular blue. Never would have thought of that. THanks for the inspiration!
I love that color on you, and I am a sucker for Leopard print!
Adorable…and ignore everyone, the anorak is great!

Thanks guys for the comments. I’m glad you enjoy the work outfit posts. I think it’s just as important to post about work as it is to post social looks. I will switch it up though.
@Michaniya-I keep telling myself I can’t have a closet full of faith 21 clothes, but, their stuff is just so darn cute. LOL!
@Godsfave-I finally got a tripod which is why you see so many outfit posts. I got into it with my camera woman so she no longer takes my pics. However, the tripod is a nice replacement.
You look great in your post. I love the vibrancy in cobalt blue & it looks very nice against your skin. And the military jacket look is not crazy at all with dresses/skirts. It is just like the leather bombers being worn with dresses. The hard/soft look which I love to do on occasion & just love the look in general. Girly & tough all in one outfit, lol.
i remember when you bought that anorak! it totally goes with everything. you have a GREAT eye, keep trusting it!
Thanks @ Stylishous and @budgetbabe
