Summer 5×5 Style Challenge – Day 1 – Back to work!

Printed Joggers & A Simple White Blouse

I am so excited to kick off this summer 5×5 style challenge!  I have been stuck in a wardrobe rut for far too long – having a closet full of clothes but feeling like I have nothing to wear.  I am sure I am not the only one who grabs for the same pieces over and over.  THIS challenge is just what I needed to think out of the box and maximize the way I use my wardrobe.  I will link all my pieces from this look below for you.

It is just another Monday – back to work after a weekend that felt too short.  One thing I do love about going back to work is wearing clothes that I don’t have to worry about my toddler pulling on or getting dirty with her cute little peanut butter fingers.

I bought these DEX joggers the other week at a local boutique (Check out Poppy&Olive if you are in Halifax).  Cute enough to be work appropriate but comfy enough to lounge in, I had to have them.  AND they have pockets! I paired them with this great white blouse from ONLY.  Tucked in, it gave my look a most polished feel that is totally office ready.  A big part of the 5×5 challenge is using your accessories to transform your look – so of course I threw in some of my favourite jewels to dress it up.  I loved the soft neutral tones in this Aven necklace.  It spruced up the outfit without competing with the printed joggers.

I loved this look.  It was so comfortable to wear.  It was my first time wearing the joggers and, I will admit that I always had a more casual look in mind with them, but it was so great to see the versatility in them! I did throw on a black cardigan in the office to keep the chill of that a/c off my shoulders, but it was a great lightweight outfit for our 27degree weather today!

Day #2 is tomorrow so make sure to come back and see it! And follow along on my Instragram (found below!) and by searching #5x5summerchallenge.
