Outfit Details: Skirt from Aritzia $110, top from Joe Fresh $16, scarf from H&M $12, heels from Le Chateau, belt from Aritzia, red lips from Kat Von D

While nautical inspired is normally reserved for summer outfits, I decided to style my stripes into a look that’s totally fit for the office. The long sleeved, knit top that I am wearing could have easily been passed off as a casual staple, but by pairing it with a knee length pencil skirt with a front slit, giving it some edge, and heels, I’ve instantly elevated the top, successfully incorporating it into a more fashionable ensemble that is now work appropriate. For some additional colour contrast, I rocked a bold red lip with a mustard scarf, which brought two more visually unexpected elements to the look. Mustard and grey complement one another beautifully, and are hot shades for fall!
