upgrade workwear

For my latest story with Refinery 29 we’re talking about how to upgrade your work wardrobe. While it’s nice to dress in of the moment pieces, it’s always important to dress professionally. When you can find a way to merge those two things, you’ll find yourself with one awesome outfit that you’ll want to wear past the 9 to 5!
For this work-appropriate outfit I chose a classic wrap dress in a fun geometric print. It’s reminiscent of the 70s but still in style today. I ditched the boring black blazer for this black jacket with leather detailing on the sleeves. The dual-textures makes it a fun choice, yet still office ready! This cobalt blue bag is striking and holds all my workday essentials {laptop, change of flats, lipstick and notebook). Best part? The entire outfit was under $100! yes, T.J Maxx might be the best thing to happen to me!
Here’s more of the article “A Made for Work Look that Stuns After Hours” on Refinery 29! Thanks so much for all your support throughout this fun collaboration!
Happy Halloween everyone!! Unfortunately we didn’t get around to carving pumpkins last night since I was so exhausted after flying back from New York, but it will definitely be on our list this weekend. Better  late than never!
