Are you looking to create a more cohesive, quality, workwear wardrobe?! I certainly am! Over the past few years I’ve been working on creating a closet with better quality classic pieces. So I wanted to share those pieces and a special brand that I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate over time with called, MMLaFleur! MMlaFleur is a brand that creates quality pieces that are CLASSIC and will truly last in your closet for years!
I love the MMLAFLEUR brand and the chic and quaint comfy feel of their store! I created a tour a few years back, check it out HERE .This store sells beautiful HIGH quality pieces. You will definitely drop a pretty penny, because their prices range from $90 and up. However, you will definitely get your money’s worth, because the quality of their items really is AMAZING.
COLORFUL SUITS FOR WORK
Historically, neutral colors are typically what most people think when they think of a professional color palette. Don’t get me wrong I love a neutral suit! However, try a tone that you feel comfortable and love and get that in your favorite suit.
Tip: If you wear a colorful suit, I’d tone down any selected accessories so that the suit is the focal point and that there’s not too much going on with your outfit. I tend to gravitate towards colors that are not too loud or bright. However, try out a color that you love, and see how you feel. You may never go back to a black or beige suit again!
SLEEVELESS TOPS FOR WORK
This is a workwear myth that I’ve actually never understood, which is to not wear your shoulders or full arm out. I’m not complete sure how wearing your upper arms out is unprofessional. However, when it’s warm out, I’ve recently started wearing dressy sleeveless tops. And, whew, it makes a huge difference in how I feel and my comfort during these warm months.
TIP: If you wear a sleeveless top, I’d pair it with trousers or a midi or longer length skirt. Since your full arm is out, I would recommend a fuller pant or skirt to balance the total amount of skin shown with this piece.
DRESSES WITH SNEAKERS FOR WORK
This one is a bit informal and one that I would not recommend for all dress codes. However, if your office dress code is more casusal, I would recommend pairing a dress with sneakers, this truly tones down the look and gives the outfit more of a business casual feel.
TIP: I’d wear a dress right above the knee or longer. I’d also pair the dress with a dressier sneaker, versus a running sneaker.
JUMPSUITS FOR WORK
Finally, last but not least, my absolute favorite a JUMPSUIT! To be honest with you, I don’t think I’ve necessarily heard that jumpsuits aren’t appropriate for the workplace. I actually think a lot of people may not know how to style them professionally. I love jumpsuits for any occasion. And I think they are absolutely appropriate for any dress code depending on the style of the jumpsuit.
TIP: There are so many different styles of jumpsuits! If you work in a more formal environment pair a wide legged or fitted jumpsuit with a blazer. If you work in a more business casual environment wear a jumpsuit on it’s own or with a coordinated cardigan.
