Petite Workwear & Business Casual Outfit Ideas for Women

How to style a black midi skirt: 2 ways

I’m obsessed with classic work outfits that I can transition into all seasons! The pleated midi skirt is a versatile workwear staple- an outfit choice that has really started to grow on me! A black pleated midi skirt is a classic and essential piece for a professional office wardrobe, offering both style and versatility. Black is always a perfect choice for the office, regardless of the season, bringing professionalism and sophistication. Here are two ways to style your midi skirt this year!

Business Professional Outfit: Black Midi Skirt with Sweater

For transitional spring weather, combine your black pleated midi skirt with a lightweight sweater. A cream, grey, or pastel mock neck sweater offers a sophisticated contrast. The monochromatic look, with the black skirt as the base, creates a polished and professional aesthetic. Tucking in the sweater defines the waistline, and adding a belt enhances the look. Pair with neutral pointed-toe heels or black boots! I opted for a black bodysuit here to create a timeless look! This outfit provides both style and comfort for cooler spring days. The black skirt maintains its professionalism while the lighter sweater/bodysuit adds a seasonal touch. In the dead of winter, pair this with knee high black boots for a warm sophisticated look! I’m obsessed with this bodysuit because it mimics SKIMS material, super comfortable and half the cost!!

Black Midi Skirt with Sleeveless Top

If you’re transitioning into summer office outfits, swap the sweater for a delicate lace bodysuit tucked into a black pleated midi skirt. The bodysuit offers a touch of summery texture while maintaining a professional appeal. The monochromatic base of the black skirt and bodysuit creates a polished and classic feel. Just like the sweater version, defining the waist is key – the bodysuit naturally hugs the figure, but a slim black belt can further accentuate the waistline. Complete the ensemble with neutral pointed-toe heels or elegant heeled sandals in nude or black for a sophisticated and cool summer office outfit. This combination offers a timeless professional look perfect for warmer weather.

1. Companies don’t promote people who ask the most 1. Companies don’t promote people who ask the most questions. They promote the ones who show up with solutions. 

2. Take your PTO. Girl seriously. I used to be the one that would work day end and day out. Because I love it. But you have to have a mental break. Turn it off. You will come back so much more recharged! 

3. You’re allowed to outgrow a job that was ‘good enough.’ Comfortable and right aren’t the same thing. Find the career that makes you happy. This may be entirely different than what you went to school for and that’s okay!
