"If you&amp;#39;re anything like me, you&amp;#39;ve got at least one cardigan (if not three) stashed away at your desk to cover up on days when the A/C goes on overdrive or--ugh--the morning coffee break gets a little sloppy. Lately, I&amp;#39;ve been feeling a little bored by the plain ol&amp;#39; grey cardi that&amp;#39;s been my office stand-by for three-plus years, which is why I&amp;#39;m kind of into the new idea of upgrading things a bit and keeping a kimono top handy, instead. Keep reading for proof that this style idea is not as crazy or Madame Butterfly-worthy as it sounds.\nWe happened to have a few fun, procrastination-worthy things hanging around the office yesterday: a brand spankin&amp;#39; new Fuji Instax Mini camera (from Urban Outfitters!) and a few samples from StyleMint (I was their June Guest Stylist, which meant I got to play dress-up with their summer line. Fun!) So I took a little break from the #makingsept chaos, grabbed some of my favorite ladies in the office, asked them to test drive StyleMint&amp;#39;s floral Gypsy Kimono top, and had a mini-photo session in one of our hallways. (The boss ladies couldn&amp;#39;t get mad, because this is work too...right?)\nPinterestFacebookNow, admittedly, it helped that everyone happened to be wearing black, white, or both. But whether styled with jeans, trousers or dresses, the multi-color kimono top (which is about $29 bucks, if you&amp;#39;re interested) did manage to dress everything up, instantly, thanks to the tailored square-shaped sleeves and breezy open cut. Imagine the same work outfits with a basic cardigan. Don&amp;#39;t these outfits look a little spiffier? Total office essential material, if I do say so. Here&amp;#39;s what it looks like up-close (and, styled in a more date night-worthy way):\nPinterestFacebookWhat do you think, gals? Like what you see? Would you consider swapping out the office cardigan for an office kimono? Or are cardis your workplace BFF, always and forever? Would you wear any of those outfits to work?\nOh, and if you&amp;#39;re curious to see what t-shirts and Old Fashioned cocktails have in common--and to get a little peek inside our Glamour offices, including the jam-packed fashion closet!--head over to StyleMint and watch a quick little video of me jabbering on about fashion.\nSpeaking of fun videos...\nWatch our editors share 5 fab work outfit ideas in 60 seconds!
