Wear to Work Day 3: Leather Panels & Bold Angles

Clothes for work don't have to be boring or drab. Try a bold dress with leather panels to give your professional look an elevated appeal. The leather panels alone give this dress (H&M) an edge that says, not only do you know how to dress, but that you also look sophisticated.

Like I mentioned before, check with your job to confirm what the dress code standards are. I wore a shirt under this dress, so that I 1. didn't have to cover it with a blazer  and 2. so that I stay work appropriate by covering my shoulders. You can also add hosiery to this look. Try a colored pair of tights or a angular print. Both will amplify the look and keep your outfit to work appropriate standards according to your job.

Leather trim and panels are trending quite a bit in the wear to work world. How are you going to wear a bold dress or leather career look? Make sure that you pay attention to fit and always confirm that the bold angles are flattering to your body.

Happy Styling!

Wear to Work: Day 2

A fun trend right now is wearing a shirt, especially collared shirt, underneath a dress. This trend creates so many different options for your wear to work wardrobe.

For example, I used my New Year's dress (Urban Outfitters) to create this professional look. What would normally be a party dress, transitions to work appropriate by adding the sheer back collared shirt (Nordstrom) and statement chain necklace (Forever 21).

Now depending on the dress code at your job, hosiery might be required. If you add a pair of sheer black tights you still have a sophisticated look. When it comes to length, keep dresses and skirts below your fingertips.

Try out your own collared shirt under a dress. You might be surprised at what you come up with.
