Fall Workwear + Shopbop Sale Picks

September 27, 2017

I’ve had several requests lately for a “workwear” post. Even though I don’t work in corporate environment, I often style my personal styling clients for the office.

My rule of thumb that I try to infuse into any pieces my clients purchase for workwear is making sure each item can be worn multiple ways and that almost everything {especially blouses} can be worn on the weekend/outside of the office.

When I found this wrap skirt and patterned blouse at Loft, I immediately loved them both for their classic, feminine style, and also for the versatility.

This wrap skirt can be worn with so many different styles and colors of tops and sweaters, including with a fitted jacket. It can be worn with pumps or booties or tall boots. It can be worn bare-legged or with tights, and also dressed down for weekend-wear with a tucked in v-neck tee or chambray shirt!

The fact that this skirt is currently on sale for $39 is pretty unbelievable! {For size reference, the skirt runs on the generous side. I am wearing a size 2.}

This printed blouse is exactly the kind of top that can be worn from the office to after work or the weekend. It’s so cute paired with blue jeans or black denim, as well as black pants or faux-leather leggings. Today this blouse is marked down by an additional 40%!

As far as shoes and accessories go, pumps are always classic for the office, but don’t be afraid to sport some over-the-knee boots with skirts to add some extra style. Just stay away from shiny leather and stick to suede and matte finishes for the “classiest” workwear look.

Also, don’t be afraid to sport some fun earrings, like the pair I am wearing here by Baublebar. Statement necklaces and earrings add pizzazz to any look, and are a great investment since you can wear them to the office and on the weekend.

Last but not least, I’m excited to share another lip-color that I “invented” before this shoot yesterday! I mixed NYX Intense Butter Gloss in Apple Crisp with a swipe of Beautycounter lipgloss in “Ruby” to create the perfect day-to-night red. It’s difficult to find a red lip color that doesn’t feel like “too much” for day-time and I feel like this combo nailed it. I will be sporting this color duo all Fall through the Holidays!
