Every once in awhile, I lay in bed before my alarm goes off and wonder, “What am I going to wear to work today?” This age-old question is one that plagues women (and men) no matter 
how old they are. Fortunately, I work in an office where the dress code is pretty laid back, but I haven’t always been so lucky. I’ve worked in offices with strict dress codes where professional attire was required every day of the week. Although I think dressing up for work makes for a more productive day, it’s sometimes hard to plan out a different outfit every day of the week – not to mention one that’s stylish and office-appropriate. Keep reading for over ten pretty and professional options for work wear. From lacy knit cardigan patterns to basic knit top patterns, there’s a suitable option for every day of the week.
