WIW syc day 23 buttoned up

It’s Monday again, and I wanted a outfit that read more business and yet was comfortable. Anyone else find that they like to be more buttoned up and more on the business side than the straight casual side on Monday? I find that it helps me get back into the work mindset.

Thanks for looking. As always all comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated

Unexpected--party on the bottom, business on top. This looks great! Yes, I feel the same way. Monday's always make me feel kind of discombobulated no matter how well I've prepped on Friday. I'm always dressed for battle on Monday.

Oh, that’s genius, kkards!!! Love it all - the fit and color of the blazer, the juxtaposition with the camo pants and the sleek sock booties. The fit of the pants is very nice, too.
And yes, on Monday I too like to be more business dressed which depending on how the week progressed fades more or less by Thursday-Friday. You give me inspiration about a newish blue blazer in my closet which I would like to find ways to wear to work.

Fabulous! I like it a lot. Dressy jacket and casual pants, very nice juxtaposition! On Mondays, first thing first for me and my coworkers is to stay warm. The building's heating is switched off during the weekends. We all look like mountaneers on Mondays.

Oooh I love it all! Especially the cutaway blazer. Mondays are a challenge for me to get and stay motivated.

Great jacket! I dress up more or less depending on what I'm doing- or the weather!

Blazers are definitely a great look on you and I love the camo with the Navy.

oo, I like these pieces. I wouldn't usually think to mix navy and camo but the tones are working here. If you had olive boots, I would've liked better than black.

Unexpected juxtaposition! Jacket is fabulous on you. I cannot associate camo with business, but if it works for your day, why not?

Very nice. No monday worries for me anymore. I think you could wear this with a black top as well.

In a word, no. I dress according to how I feel on the day and what is less worn from that season’s wardrobe to try to reach my 30 wears. I wouldn’t feel professional enough in your cool camo pants, I do like them but snakeskin might be my limit on pants. I have worn one camo top to work though, hmmm...

re camo...where i live, and where i work, camo is not only "allowed" its also very much expected....its not unusual to see "real" camo in my workplace.

Wow, office cool!
I have that too, now you mention it. It might also be good intentions at the beginning of the week ;).

I love this and YES - how I dress definitely affects my mood. If I need to be professional and in control a suit works wonders.
