How would you style this for work? (Pic)

Hi all,

Just purchased this in the sale and wondering how to wear for work. Teal is one of my best colours (I have blue/green eyes) and it fits perfectly but I have no idea what colours go with it.

I have a fairly conservative workplace - I push the boundaries a fair amount (hence I think I could get away with the sleeves) if that helps.

Was thinking (I am an Autumn: masses of curly red hair and freckles) of tan courts and bags? Probably can't do a jacket because of the sleeves... hmmm. But how do I keep warm?!

As you can tell: I need help! Grin

oooh where's it from - it's gorgeous.
Tan or stone/nude shoes and bag would be perfect but could also look cool with a real colour clash like red or yellow.

Where are you as it's boikjng in UK at mo so coukd def get away with no jacket.
Otherwise a long line suited cape could work as there would be room for the sleeves - Zara do them.

That would look great with a little fitted tartan jacket, Vivienne Westwood style, if the sleeves fit.

Ha, am in the UK but am banking on the weather not staying like this forever!

Have had a look at the Zara cape jackets - that is a brilliant idea, I shall order one I think!

Oh, I would kill for a Westwood jacket. I shall keep an eye out.

Thank you both!

Thank you - I hadn't thought of yellow! I have some yellow courts that would work perfectly (for outside work though - my workplace (financial services) is a bit too conservative I feel for teal and yellow :( )
