Work Wardrobe

I have not worked in a professional setting for quite sometime, so work day essentials are not on my radar. Though while shopping, I can't help but get a bit nostalgic for what I might be wearing to the office these days. I was always about classic, tailored pieces that could be mix and matched easily. Everything in neutral colors that looked crisp with a few tasteful pops of color in the seasons current favorites. Though I may not be in need of a work wardrobe, I have plenty of friends who do (one in particular, you know who you are) and put together what I would be stocking up on for now and this Fall. Just mix in your favorite (and most comfortable) pumps, statement necklace, slick watch, studs, and opaque black tights for the colder weather. 

Dresses: 1. J. Crew / 2. DVF / 3. Madewell / 4. Tory Burch 

Jackets: 5. Theory / 6. Two Penny Blue / 7. Loft

Skirts: 8. J. Crew / 9. J. Crew / 10. Loft

Pants: 11. J. Crew / 12. J. Crew / 13. Loft (on sale)

Sweaters: 14. J. Crew / 15. J. Crew / 16. J. Crew (all available in many colors)

Tops: 17. Joie / 18. J. Crew / 19. J. Crew

Many of these pieces can be mixed in with your every day or evening wear, which is a huge bonus. Some of the pieces are bigger investments, but when it comes to work wear you need it most days so it will be worth it. If anything a great pair of black pants, a snug but flattering sweater, a blazer, and a white shirt like the one above is a great start. 

And just to show you how versatile these pieces can be, here are just a few of the ways you can mix and match. 

And let's just pretend you closed the deal of a lifetime, this bag would be quite the statement at the office. #treatyourself

In-Between Every Day

Not quite Spring, almost Summer, and before we know it Fall. The seasons run together so quickly and  new clothes need to last through it. I am really looking for pieces that I can wear now, incorporate into looks when it gets much warmer, last into the cooler nights and before we know it, days of Fall. I reach for leggings WAY too much, these looks would all be a huge improvement and are super versatile. 

A comfy maxi skirt (that doubles as a dress), soft leather jacket, and flat sandals (obsessed)

Splendid Skirt, PJK  Leather Jacket, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Sandals

That jacket would look great with basically anything in your closet. I have a black one just like it that I wear to death. I kind of can't even talk about the sandals, they are on sale as well. 

The sandals would also look great with this look. 

 Soft Chambray Shirt, Coated Jeans, Gauzy Scarf, Comfy Moccasins

Madewell shirt, J Brand jeans, Theodora & Callum scarf, Minnetonka moccasins 

I own this entire outfit, minus the scarf that I love, and always feel like I got my sh*t together when I have it on for running around. The coasted jeans are fun for day, then are killer at night with heels and a floaty top. A great chambray shirt is probably the best investment I have made in awhile. 

The search for the perfect boyfriend jean is kind of my Achilles heel right now. I am not really into the "skinny" leg boyfriend, I mean what is the point? But you do want a pair that fit well enough that you do not look ten pounds heavier. These look perfect and I love the idea of prepping up the rest of the look. 

Boyfriend Jean, Striped Soft Blazer, Wedge Espadrille, Bright Duffel, Panama Hat

Joe's Jeans, J. Crew blazer, Tory Burch wedges, J. Crew hat, Alexander Wang bag

I worship the color of the A. Wang bag, which is obviously an investment piece, but is so versatile. A little height would be good with the slouchy jeans to elongate the leg and a fitted blazer helps keep you looking slim. I have this panama hat already and love the updated shape to a fedora. 

You can probably put together similar looks with items already in your closet, right? I need to tear through mine a bit, but I love everything here! 

Taking the little guy to the city today and will not have time to write tomorrow. Signing off for the weekend. My weekend wish is that these pieces make their way to my door on Monday so I can leave the LuLu Lemon's in the closet.
