Lately I’ve been choosing my outfits based on how well they can transition from one activity to another during the day.
I’ve been trying out morning workouts , which has led to me bringing my work clothes to the gym and heading straight to work from there. I then usually have an after-work social event in the evening. While it makes for a busy day, I’m excited to be fitting my workouts in.
I’m not a morning person but morning workouts are really the only time I can fit them in my schedule without having to cut back on activities and events after work. It just means planning ahead and making sure I have an outfit that can take me from morning to night and look cute and be comfortable the entire time.
I’m all about throwing a skirt on over a top or tee, adding some wedges and a necklace and calling it a day. I love how wedges can dress up any outfit. This pair is ridiculously comfortable. It’s almost like wearing sneakers they feel so good. Walking in heels does not come naturally to me so I’m glad I found a pair that works for my feet!
Outfit Details
Top: Banana Republic Factory
Skirt: LOFT Sold Out (Similar Option)
Wedges: CL by Laundry
Necklace: J.Crew Factory Sold Out (Similar Option 1. Similar Option 2.)
Watch: Kate Spade
Purse: Rebecca Minkoff
Funny story about this necklace: I bought it months ago from the outlets but am just now getting to wear it. When Josh and I were shopping he was carrying around our shopping bags while we browsed through some stores. When we got home that night I unpacked everything and thought J.Crew forgot to put my necklace in the bag. I was really bummed. I immediately called the store and they told me that Banana Republic had called them and said they found a J.Crew necklace in a jewelry pouch on the floor of their store. They put it in their safe for me to come pick up, but because of the distance to the outlets it was months before I was able to make it back. I’m so glad I finally got my necklace back. I’ve wanted a white necklace for a while. Josh has since promised to be a more diligent bag carrier. 😉
This whole outfit feels spring-y to me. Best of all, it’s so comfy and easy to wear. It took me from spin class, to work, to my Junior League initiation event yesterday. I’m now officially an active member!
Questions of the Day: What is your go-to work look? Do you tend to have to go to events before or after work in the same clothes you wore all day? Are you comfortable in heels?

Thanks girl! I was excited to get it on a good sale!
I love the vibrant yellow tee on you! Tees are so chic and versatile and can be dressed up and down depending on the occasion.

Aww thank you! And yes, I love that about tees!
Major kudos for logging a morning workout- for the life of me, I cannot seem to drag myself out of my bed. It’s evening workouts for this girl. 🙂

I wish morning workouts came easy to me! I wanted to do one this morning but chose sleep instead. Tomorrow for sure!
You look so precious in that yellow shirt! I totally agree, morning workouts require lots of advance planning to be practical. But boy does it feel good to be at work knowing one thing is already done for the day!

Aw thank you Taylor! Yes it is such an accomplishment to know you’ve already accomplished something big in your day!
This looks great! I have similar pieces in my closet and this post has inspired me to throw them together (finally).
Yay! I’m sure you’ll look beautiful Jamie! 🙂
That’s definitely a busy day! I try to do my workouts during lunches.
If my work had a gym I would definitely do that! I think that would be my ideal time to workout because I could sleep in and stay out late! haha
I like getting my workout out of the way in the morning too! Although it’s tough getting up in the morning! I love this simple look paired with chic jewelry! You look fab!

I wish being a morning person came easily to me! haha Maybe one day!
Thanks so much Emily! I’m really trying to up my accessory game lately. 😀
I LOVE this outfit, Erin! It looks so cute without looking like you are trying too hard. Plus, I LOVE the statement necklace and the pop of yellow from the shirt. It just all works so well together.
Aww thanks Hannah! I was so excited when I pulled the shirt out of my drawer and realized how well it went with my new necklace!
I thought that was a dress last night! The yellow looks good on you 🙂
Aww thanks Ashley! I didn’t get to tell you yesterday but I loved your outfit! You looked gorgeous!
I love wedges too! They make an outfit look dressy without making it look like you tried to hard like heels sometimes can.
Yes! And they’re much easier to walk in! haha
Glad you got your necklace back! That was so nice of them to hold it for you for so long 🙂

Yes! I was very happy they handled it like they did. I was so bummed at the thought of never getting to wear this necklace!
I think this is the perfect transitional outfit. It’s so great to have a comfy black skirt to throw on a tee with. And you look super cute in yellow!!! Love! Have a happy day!!

Aww thank you so much Andrea! Yes, I was happy with how easily this outfit was able to travel and still work from event to event!
I really like that skirt…very versatile!
Thanks Kelly! I agree, I love how it goes with everything!
that top is super cute – you look great in yellow!
i work out in the morning as well, it just works better for me – i have to make sure my clothes don’t wrinkle easily, nothing worse than rocking up to work with wrinkly clothes!
Aw thanks so much Kristen!
I’m the same way about wrinkles! I actually hang my work clothes up on a hook outside the studio when I get to the gym!
Lovely look. Cool necklace

Thank you! I’m so excited to finally get to wear it! 😀
I love your outfit! I also work out in the morning and it’s a struggle finding appropriate work clothes that I can bring to the gym. I’ll have to steal this idea 🙂 P.S. love those shoes..I’ve been looking for wedges!
They’re seriously the best wedges! I’m about to order them in nude! haha
I am loving the yellow top! It’s so perfect for spring.

Thanks Connie! I love what a little pop of color can do to my outfit and my mood! 😀
Such a cute Spring outfit! I love the necklace! (of course it is sold out – Dang it!)
Thanks so much Krysten! I know, I was so bummed when I saw it sold out so quickly. I was super nervous if it got lost in the shuffle at the Banana Republic store before I picked it up I wouldn’t be able to buy it again. But there are some really great options that are very similar out there!
Love this look! I really need to add a yellow top to my closet, the pop of color is perfect for spring + summer!
Thanks Katie! I love adding some bright colors to my outfits in the Spring and Summer! It makes me feel like I match the weather! 😀
I love the pretty yellow! That necklace is so fun too! Good luck with the morning workouts!

Thanks Megan! So far working out in the morning has been giving me an extra pep in my step during the day but then I’m crashing hard and early at night.
Aww, you look so cute! I would have never have guessed that you just got out of the gym. Goal accomplished! Also really loving the accessories!
Thank you so much Natalie!! Your comment just made my day! 😀
Lovely look! I remember always wearing wedges in high school because they were as cute as heels but so comfortable, love them!
