Office to Night Out: Chic & Edgy Look

Living in the Pacific Northwest summers are warm but the weather can turn at a moments notice. Getting dressed for work in the morning can be tricky so having the right go-to items in your closet like a solid versatile dress and the right pair of shoes are crucial if you commute to work on foot. Meet my client Shelby. She is an attorney with a great sense of fashion who frequently travels for work and was ready to refresh her wardrobe for the summer. She was set on her casual wear and was primarily in need of work wear with items that can be easily packed, look polished and can take her from the office to nights out. I created a capsule wardrobe for her with pieces consisting of flowy tops, dresses, trousers and booties that were both summer-ready and could also transition her into the Fall season. This dress by Alice + Olivia was one of my favorites on Shelby because it fit like a glove! The color was also the perfect shade of blue for her skin tone, the fabric doesn't wrinkle-so is great for travel and, the silhouette is so versatile and pairs nicely with a blazer or leather jacket for work or play. We finished the look with these Joie snakeskin booties that gave her outfit that bit of edge to fit her style and will take her from work to catching a music show with friends. Voila! She is set for her upcoming trips and now that we've built a relationship, I know her style, I can easily shop for future looks for her and most importantly, she loved all of her new pieces and felt and looked fabulous! If you are ready to refresh your wardrobe, or just need some style tips on how to pull looks together from your own closet, let's connect today and I will show you how without breaking the bank.
