Must Haves For Your Fall Work Wardrobe
Sep 29, 2023
When the opportunity to feature on a local news segment in Portland first presented itself, I'll admit - I was hesitant. It wasn't because I didn't recognize it as a fantastic opportunity, but rather because I had some self-doubts. I was worried about the extra 20 pounds I had gained, the importance of my message, my own capabilities, and that never-ending dilemma of what to wear all crossed my mind. Yes, even stylists grapple with these thoughts!
Nevertheless, it eventually dawned on me that I had left my successful 19-year career to pursue this path. I made this choice to follow my passion for styling, to empower women and boost their confidence, and to create a more flexible schedule that would allow me to be there for my kids. I'm so glad I did it! It was a blast and I was able to talk about styling, hang with some of my best friends and gain confidence in myself.
Check out the segment, and then discover all the fabulous outfits our models showcased.
Fall Work Must Haves
Do you ever find yourself standing in front of your closet, contemplating what to wear for the day? The way we work has undergone significant changes in recent years. For instance, some are returning to the office, while others are working hybrid, frequent travel, client meetings, and more. In my conversations with women, a common theme emerges: feeling stuck.
Well, it's time for a little fashion homework. Take a moment to explore your closet and see if you have these essential pieces. They will serve as the building blocks of a versatile wardrobe, ensuring you can confidently step out for work, whether it's downstairs to your home office or into the bustling office space.
I absolutely adore these Spanx pants! They work wonders by giving your legs a long and slender appearance while offering the perfect blend of comfort and style. One styling tip I pass on to my clients is coordinating your bottom and underpinning. In this instance, I've chosen a black t-shirt to tuck into these pants. This opens up opportunities to accessorize with a third piece. If you're gearing up for a presentation or a day at the office, consider pairing these pants with a blazer, like the striking blue one featured here. And if you're heading straight to a basketball game after work, don't sweat it—just throw on a denim jacket and switch out your heels for some sneakers. You'll be ready for anything!
Fantastic denim isn't just reserved for remote work anymore. Nowadays, many offices are loosening up their dress codes, giving us the green light to rock our favorite jeans. Yay! So, snag a pristine pair without any distressing from your denim collection. Personally, I've been leaning towards wide-leg styles lately and have a soft spot for the Mother Hustler jeans featured here. To make a great impression on camera, pair them with your favorite blouse, and when you've got a client meeting on the agenda, simply toss on your trusty blazer.
The suit skirt is the epitome of chic coolness! It exudes style when paired with an oversized sweater, casually front-tucked, and complemented with sneakers. When you want a more sophisticated appearance for a meeting or presentation, just incorporate a blouse, belt, and tall boots into the mix.
Brown and red are beautiful colors that are hot for fall! And put them together... magic happens. This combination with the edgy moto jacket and feminine pleated skirt is one of my favorite looks. So incredible! This outfit will infuse you with the confidence to conquer the day. Additionally, for a laid-back yet effortlessly stylish appearance, you can also team it up with the cream sweater mentioned earlier.
As we adapt to the changing ways we work, it's totally normal to stare at our closets wondering what to wear. But don't fret! With a few must-have items in your closet, you can feel ready for anything, whether you're at your home office or back in the regular workplace. So, let's have some fun and put together a wardrobe that matches our ever-changing lives.
