Closet Consultation, Part 2

Here is Part 2 as promised from Missy's closet consultation. 3 more outfits for work and Casual Friday.



1. Outfit #1 (Left): This is created with an awesome, zipper-strap tank that would usually be found in a casual setting with jean shorts or some sort of cotton skirt and boots, however, when you throw a neutral cardigan over it and a high-waisted pencil skirt, it immediately becomes a chic and stylish look that is perfectly fit for the office. If the office dress code isn't too strict, removing the cardigan while inside the office is also an option, and if not, then save that for your post-work date or dinner.

2. Outfit #2 (Middle): This outfit is not only my favorite but was Missy's, too. She ended up wearing this for the rest of her Saturday because it was weather and environmentally appropriate. This get-up is so transferable from work to play time and it screams San Francisco with the cool, cropped leather jacket, layered green cardigan vest, knee high boots, and accent scarf. Throw on some textured tights for Winter and go. The layers work really well for the office because even as you peel them off, you still end up with a posh cowl neck dress suitable for the professional world.

3. Outfit #3 (Right): Lastly, Missy had recently purchased this gray flowy shirt and didn't know how to wear it. A flowy, loose shirt, in my opinion, should generally be worn with tighter fitting bottoms in order to avoid a frumpy look. With a cut that is too short for leggings, I thought a clean cut pair of dark skinny jeans and heels would be best suited for this blouse. Casual Friday is what we were going for with this outfit. Again, the cropped leather jacket appears so versatile and stylish and I actually think it's my favorite piece of Missy's wardrobe. It easily dresses up ANY outfit but still had an edgy, cool demeanor to it. Add a pop of color with the HALE Savannah necklace, completed with silver chain and lime green stones.

Missy and I had a lot of fun completing this activity and I hope it has given you some insight or inspirations to take with you on a daily basis. While the office is a professional setting and your wardrobe should compliment that, it is also really important to have some individual style and not blend into the crowd. Hope you've enjoyed the journey with us!
