Trying to Break Away from the Office-y Mould: Colourblocked Work OOTD- Mustard, Blue and Brown

Hello hello!

Let me start by sharing that I have been featured on Creative Mondays. This spring outfit of mine was chosen by Claire for her Creative Mondays link-up. Super-happy! :)

I've ranted about trying to break out of the 'boring office outfit' mould here. And in an attempt to consciously make my work-wardrobe more interesting and fun (without actually buying new stuff), I came up with this outfit.

I started with wanting to wear these super-comfy trousers (they are like PJs, but of-course they are trousers), but pairing a top with it has always been sort of a problem. Since the trousers are wide-legged/not super-fitted, I always try to wear them with a structured top, and there lies the problem. A regular, collared shirt just won't do (I don't own a lot of lycra based office appropriate shirt), and a tee would be too casual, and on purpose I did not want to wear a fitted tee with a nice scarf, although that would have solved the problem. So after going through my (recently) organised closet, I picked up this sleeveless mustard top, which fits me rather well, and would easily give structure to the outfit. The top is long-ish so I tucked it in the trousers, and just to make the outfit office-appropriate, I added a lightweight blue cardigan. For accessories, I wore some traditional Indian gold earrings and my rose-gold watch. My shoes and bag belong to the brown family, so they look coordinated.

Honestly, I quite like this outfit. I'm wearing (and loving) it as I write this post. How about you? Thoughts and comments welcome!
