Trend Alert! Workwear Wednesday-How To Implement Puff Sleeve Styles Into Your Office Attire While Still Looking Professional And Modern

The puff sleeve trend is back and I am here for it!  I am an eighties baby, so when I first heard puff sleeves a year or so ago, I immediately thought, not shoulder pads! Haha!  And even though some of that is around, it isn’t what I am talking about today.  The puff sleeve trend that I am loving is a more romantic and flowing sleeve.  But I do love some of the more structured looks too!

Fashion trends ebb and flow.  Some I love….yay for a return of flare jeans!  But some I hate, saying no to biker shorts.  LOL!  But since we are all individuals it is important to find your own personal style.  I view my style as feminine and classic.  But I do like to throw some fun things in the mix from time to time to add a little edge to my style.  I actually think that my own style has emerged more the older I get. I am more confident in myself at 38 than I was at 18 or 28.  Are you?  How do you describe your style?

Implementing The Puff Sleeve Trend

Work wear makes up the vast majority of my wardrobe.  I work at a large ophthalmology practice and manage the human resources and marketing, so it is important to look professional and put together.  That being said, I am also a style blogger, so I tend to dress on trend but classic at the same time.  There are a lot of options for adding the puff sleeve trend to your closet, without looking like you’re trying too hard to be trendy.   I have found a variety of dresses and tops that can be paired with dress pants that will give you the fashion look you desire; without looking like Lady Gaga at work.  😉  (For the record, I love Gaga, she just isn’t always work appropriate, LOL!)  I have all of my favorite options at the bottom of the post for you to easily shop!

Toile Puff Sleeve Dress

For today’s post, I am sharing a gorgeous puff sleeve toile dress.  It is under $20!  And I think it is perfect for adding the puff sleeve trend to your wardrobe without breaking the bank.  If you are tall, it might be a little short on you.  However, I am 5’4″ and it is a great length on me.  I am wearing a small and say it fits true to size.  It has a tie belt that comes with it, but you could easily switch it out for a solid white one to mix up the look.  The puff sleeves are feminine and not too crazy, so I think it is perfect for the office.

The toile print is makes it feel very Parisian to me, which I love.  A classic blue and white pattern is always perfect to me.  Blue is also THE color this year, so look for it everywhere!  I added my favorite white booties and think it has the perfect mix of classic and on trend pieces.  I also added some fun statement earrings that are only $3!  They are a great compliment to the dress and help pull the entire look together, in my opinion!  You can shop the entire look below.
