You wore WHAT to work???

J Crew Tippi Sweater // J Crew Factory Shirt // H&M Shorts, Belt, Booties & 

I don't know about you guys but I get into a work clothes rut after a while and start to revert back to basic blacks and whites. Boring!

I felt myself going there this week but I wanted to make things a bit more interesting and not only did I bring in a pop of color to my all black & white outfit but I also did something I have never done before:

I WORE SHORTS TO WORK! Not just to work but to a client meeting. Am I crazy??

What is this world coming to?? :)

Have you ever worn shorts to work? What is the strangest thing you have ever worn to work?

    That's awesome!!! I think shorts can be totally work appropriate depending on how you style them, and I love how you styled them here!

      Thanks Niki. It was a risk but no one said anything so I guess it was ok!

    I work in a casual environment so I'm sure I could get away with shorts to work but I'm too scared to do it!

      I was scared too. I packed other outfits in case I backed out last minute but I just did it anyway! :)

    I have never worn shorts to work, but I bet if I wore them like you, it would be totally acceptable and awesome. Love it!

    I've done shorts with tights before for winter, but haven't been brave enough to wear them to work. I love the spotted top under the sweater and the monogram necklace!

    I've never worn shorts to work, but I wouldn't rule it out! I think, done right, they can be a great look for the workplace! Would love to see an outfit post on your outfit!

    I love this outfit! I totally get away with wearing shorts to work on a pretty regular basis:)

    And thanks for your comment! It sounds like we're kind of basically twins.
