Imagine this: you’re at your creative job all day long and finally get off to grab drinks with a coworker and you don’t have to go home and change.

Then get funky with patent leather pants and a pair of crisp white "ugly" sneakers.

Bored of your standard office-appropriate outfits? Why not mix things up with an oversized shirtdress layered in for a fashion-forward yet distinctly professional ensemble? For styling, be sure to keep the bottom half of the shirtdress unbuttoned and the hemline hovering just a few inches above your trousers. Add a ladylike heel and bag to balance it all out.

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.

This Spring Outfit Idea Will Get You Compliments

We can't help but be obsessed with this lace-up detailed midi skirt. In fact, we built this whole outfit around it. The skirt is fashion-forward, but still feels classic at the same time. That said, there are a variety of ways to style it—we decided to keep things effortless and polished and it can be worn to the office, brunch, and everywhere in between. To recreate this look try the skirt with a classic white top, timeless sunglasses, dainty hoop earrings, a stylish brown bag, and '90s-inspired strappy white sandals. To keep things zen, add a calming aromatherapy roller-ball to the mix.
