If you're running late or are simply feeling uninspired when picking out your outfit for the day, these 2 pieces will definitely come in handy: a blue button-down shirt and chunky hoop earrings. This combo can be worn to just about any occasion during any season. Don't believe us? Consider the outfit ideas below for the office, brunch, date-night, running errands, and much more. You likely already have these pieces in your closet.

• Wear with jeans (classic, white or black work best) and any shoe (flats, mules, sneakers, booties, strappy sandals...etc.)

• Wear tucked in to a midi skirt (satin, printed, or solid colors all work), again with any shoe style depending on the occasion.

• Wear half-tucked into a pair of denim shorts (stick to classic, white or black options) and complete with sandals.

• Wear tucked into a pair of dressy shorts (leather, camel, linen...etc.) and complete with sandals, mules, or heels.

• For a cozy weekend look, wear over a pair of classic black leggings and wear a comfy shoe like sneakers, flats, or sandals.

• Layer under a slip dress for the ultimate fashion-forward look. This can be worn with any shoe. Go casual with sneakers or a heeled style for a dressier event.

• Tuck into cropped wide-leg pants (black, white, camel options). For work, try a bootie or pump. For an everyday look try sneakers, flats, mules, or even sandals.

• For a formal event, think '90s-chic (Sharon Stone, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy). Tuck the shirt into an elegant skirt or satin pants and finish with a sleek shoe.

Forget The Pencil Skirt, Try This Summer Office Look Instead

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again; depending on your field, workwear isn’t exclusive to muted pencil skirts and tucked in button down shirts. When paired correctly (and smartly) you can have fun with your office looks, too. This blogger did that perfectly by throwing a double-breasted summer jacket over a printed blouse. Instead of slacks, she opted for high waisted white River Island trousers and rather than picking a simple pump, she kept things seasonal and chic with a pair of strappy heeled sandals.
