Workin in a Winter Wonderland...

Winter weather is slowly sneaking up on us, and the bright colors everyone seemed to be wearing have slowly turned into browns, burgundys, and black. Although most of us are used to warm California weather this gloominess we mistake for "it's FREEZING outside" can be quickly remedied with some nice coats and pants.

Because our office most of the time feels as though penguins could migrate here once a year and never know they left Antarctica, we begin to layer our clothing in sometimes really interesting ways. So...here are a few tips on dressing in the winter time to work...

Most of us are rockin the scarves this time of year, it's a pretty simple look for females, and they look great on men too and keep us all a little more warm this time of year, especially underneath a warm coat. (Pictured below)

Neda, in marketing, sports a brightly colored scarf to bring some life to her all-black outfit.

Catlin adds some fall colors dressing down her outfit.

Can't go wrong with gray.

Stephanie sports a pop of white, bringing back memories of summer. (I made her borrow this and wear it)

Andy replaces his usual tie with a scarf with blue accents. (Andy never really wore ties)

Janet goes traditional with her plaid double button. (There was no bribery involved in the wearing of this outfit)

I spotted Jon Sullivan headed into work. He was shivering and insisted that the only thing that would keep him warm was his snowboarding gear. Poor thing. He thanked me for this blog post. Little did he know he would be in my "what not to wear to work" section.

So remember, when it gets a bit chilly, make sure you have your basics: scarves, coats, and beanies which you can layer on top of almost any summer outfit to transform yourself from a sun-kissed beach fan to a rain craved starving artist.
