Here's what I wore to the office one day this past week. Lots of days you'll find me in the kitchen testing things out for our site. But some days I have mostly meetings or computer work to catch up on and that was the case this day—so I got to wear some impractical shoes! I wear much more comfy shoes for days I'm moving around the kitchen cooking, styling, and photographing food.
You can also see a little glimpse of my office space. We've been shuffling around our offices a bit lately as our team has grown this past year, and we're trying to utilize our space needs as best we can. I still have some art to hang up above my desk, but other than that I'm pretty much done (for now anyway).

You’re so adorable and I love that paint wheel clock!
Adorable outfit! I’ve done a couple work wears as well, but my office certainly isn’t as cool as this one (and my job much less exciting). Love it.

You look so beautiful! I love your whole outfit but I especially love your hair and your “impractical” shoes haha. Some days I feel like wearing the ones that wouldn’t be so comfortable but they are the ones that happen to fit the mood I am in.
Can Gummergal do a post about what she wears to concerts? Going to a festival next week and need some inspiration 🙂
What a great shoes!!!!
I haven’t seen Swedish Hasbeens in Poland.
Love your work space and the outfit.. pug shirt, cutest ever! Love the tangerine look in the office.

That’s so sweet Kelsie! I don’t know if she can pull together a post before your festival, but you should follow her on instagram (@gummergal) she posts a lot of outfits there.

Oh more of these please! Love the shoes!

Love that bag and the braids! You make looking to work look like fun 🙂 More workplaces should encourage their employees to dress according to their personality and not a typical grayscale corporate uniform. Well done!
Great photos! I love the glasses 🙂

Your office is so light and airy! Beautiful.
Soo cute! Love it 😀

Really great outfit. The nature of my job means I have to wear business casual to work everyday. I never thought of wearing a tee over a collared shirt before. I think I may have to try as it looks great.
the clor wheel clock is awesome. is that DYI? your work corner looks like something out of a dream. your hair too. love it.
I am SO in love with those shoes!!

Perfect glasses. I really like that gold sparkling details. xa

I feel the need to spice up my work wardrobe – I also feel like a need gold flecked glasses and a pug shirt. I mean PUGS
love this!! those glasses rock, emma! and when my hair grows a tad longer, I’m trying this braided crown!
Wow…nice to get a sneak peak!!

The sparkly glasses are amazing! 🙂 And the huge black bag – my dream. I love big bags (and my spine hates me for this).
Emma, you are Such a babe.
Now if only I can figure out how to do my hair like that!
I’m really enjoying the look! If you had a moment could you check out my new post, I would love your input!

If you guys are taking blog content requests – I’d love to know your fitness routines?! I remember you posting about doing a 5km race (on thanksgiving?? maybe?) but I figured with your super fit bods you probs do more than an annual run 😉 I’d love to hear.
It’s great to be in a creative work environment where you can express yourself through what you wear. Worked in art galleries for years and every day pushed us to be more inventive with our outfits.

As I work from home 3 days a week I find it REALLLLY important to make sure I (usually) dress for the occasion and wear nice clothes.. some days slip by where I am in track pants all day however it motivates me to still get ready for the day and appear professional.

I love your hair! You are so adorable =-)
I love that baaaaag. Still trying to decide whether to get it or not. Wish I could see if in real life before buying. The green looks so cool. Super cute work outfit by the way.

This shirt is amazing! I didn’t even realize it was pugs until I read the credit. I love how you styled it! And I’m saving up for those glasses. Too perfect to not buy!!!

The pug shirt is so cute and the fact that you paired it with a collar makes it even better! 🙂

Hello! Cute outfit! But I’m wondering something: do you really wear something different in and out the office? I don’t really know the American code of work outfits but in France, I’m working for myself and I don’t really have a different style at work. What do you think about it?
Hope you can understand my English, thanks for reading and keep make me dream!! I love ABM <3
Can you share where did you buy the task chair? I am looking for one exactly like that! Also the orange file drawer is lovely!
Thanks!
Love the look and the idea for ongoing posts! Keep them coming xo

I love this outfit so much. Your glasses and hair are amazing 🙂

Love your quirky/pretty aesthetic, dear Emma!! And I’ve always wondered about Swedish Hasbeens…are they as comfy as they look?? (Not for kitchen duty, of course; but a day of, say, errands or shopping?!)

Love this post! Looking forward to more work outfit posts 🙂

I feel clumsy now, i never wear high heals or lipstick when working. Always comfy pants and loose/soft clothes. 🙂
You look amazing.

Ohhh, ok gotcha, somehow missed that little factoid haha, thank you.
Hi there! Have you done a tutorial on those cool curtains? I can’t seem to find them.
Hi! They are from Target 🙂 – Jacki
Aw cute! Love that top!

LOVE this. Thank you thank you for including work wear! For those of us that are bound for more traditional offices these ideas are a breath of fresh air. I hope this becomes a series, or something . . . the ideas you ladies have for work appropriate clothing that’s still beautiful and creative would be fabulous! Any chance you could gather together previous style posts into a work-themed collection?
And the mom in me adores how you feature cute yet comfortable heels. Success! Thank you SO much for sharing.
That pug shirt is awesome! I have a little grandpa pug (Muffin) and he’s 13. Poor guy is diabetic and gets shots twice a day, I have a shirt from UO that says “Pugs Not Drugs” and always get comments when I wear it. I’m taking the online DSLR class and I love seeing your pug in some of the videos, it’s probably my favorite part and he’s so sweet how he just sits there so calmly.
Just LOVING the glasses!
