Outfit ideas with joggers as workwear

I recently polled my Instagram followers on what kind of clothing pieces they would like to see styled and I had a lot of requests to see how to wear joggers as workwear.  It didn’t surprise me because last year I did a post on how to style dressy joggers and it was one of my more popular posts.

I have another round up of cozy outfits! I have to admit that I have been in a bit of a style rut! The lack of sunshine has made it really hard for me to feel motivated to get creative with my outfits and I've been finding myself repeating the same clothes over and over again. 

That's why this week I built each outfit around one piece in my wardrobe that I haven't worn in a while. I have a lot of clothes and sometimes rediscovering pieces that I love help my outfits feel more fun and creative!
