Graphic tops can be tricky to style for the workplace, but I think the secret is finding a print that’s not too flashy and pairing it with classic pieces like a button-down shirt and pencil skirt. I love this whimsical French hen print and played up the pink-colored beret by layering the sweater over a similarly-colored shirt. Dressing for the office never has to be boring, and I’m all about making fun colors and prints wearable everyday!

You definitely made that sweater work for work! It can be hard to style trendy items for the office, but I love that you made it professional with a pencil skirt and heels. You look great!
The collared shirt really makes the hat on the hen pop! Love!

The sweater is too cute– great outfit!
Very cute top, you're so right this is kinda tricky for work, but you made it work wonderfully.

I'm a little late to the discussion, but I love the color combo here. Very inspiring! I have the same dilemma: I bought a CUTE camel-colored cashmere sweater from Macy's that has a SNAIL wearing a red beret on it. I had deemed it for after-hours wearing only. Now that I see how you wore yours, maybe I am brave enough to wear it to work. I'll try on a Friday. 🙂
I love graphic tees/sweaters, they can take a boring work outfit and add some pizzazz but it's definitely something you have to do in a correct way.

Yes, Friday is definitely the day to experiment with a new look as it's generally the most casual day. let me now how it goes!
Visiting from WIWW. You had me at "French Hen." Chicken in a beret? Why not! Love it! So awesome!
