Dress & Shoes = Zara

Temperature is finally dropping! Early fall round up included a lot of layers and sleeves. I’m toeing the line of Smart Casual and flat out Business I think. I’m also itching to wear a leather midi skirt that’s in the closet.

Looks from top to bottom.

1. Calvin Klein Sweater, BR Shirt, Avec Les Filles pants
   
2. YOOX, Amazon the Drop
   
3. Top shop, BR, Farm Rio
   
4. Old Ann Taylor, Karen Millen
   
5. Calvin Klein Sweater, BR Shirt, BR Suede Pants
   
6. AT Sweater, BR Leather Top (I think???), Vince

I found this button down that matches perfectly to the purple heels I had. Coupled with these earrings to make what my fellow engineers called “power purple”

Hi everyone! I’m in my 20s, just graduated college and am in my second month at my first job. I am working in finance and was told that while my outfits are appropriate, they aren’t “polished”. I wasn’t given much advice or context other than that. The only other woman in my office exclusively wears skirts and dresses, and I don’t feel comfortable wearing that so that’s not a great place for me to get inspiration from for outfits.

What do you think is wrong with what I’m currently wearing to wear and how can I fix it? Thank you!

PS. I also just moved to the Midwest from the south so any advice on how to dress to the office in the cold months would be greatly appreciated

I also apologize for the lack of full length mirror pictures. I’m yet to buy one since moving!

It’s been a BUSY week! So glad things have slowed down a bit, and I get to WFH tomorrow to catch up on work. Back at it again next week! Most pieces are from Zara and H&M, nothing recent!

Me before leaving the hotel. Not pictured: me eating shit after tripping over my pants when walking with my customer.

I have a work event coming up, and they let us know that it’s “cocktail attire”.

I have a whole bunch of cocktail dresses but a majority/all aren’t really work appropriate. I ordered this dress in a panic, do yall think it’s work appropriate? I keep getting mixed signals from other posts, but this feels a little different since it’s a “snazzy” work event. My workplace is a bit conservative though.

Thoughts?

Note: not the biggest fan of how big the arm holes are, I might try to get them tailored if it becomes an issue.

This outfit is for a job fair. I do not own a pair of dress pants, only an assortment of skirts. Although jean material, I think this is the best outfit that I could put together to be business casual. This will be my last option before going to the store tomorrow morning to buy some pants.

Also, I’m sorry if it is difficult to see the skirt, I tried color correcting the image to make it less dark but this was the best I could do.

Self made blouse, Clark’s loafers, Amazon Pretty Garden blazer and trousers.

Argyle dress is New York & Co, shoes are aerosoles. Skirt is mod cloth with Amazon basics t. Pants are H&M with Quince cashmere sweater. The gold leaf necklace is vintage from the 90s ( thx mom)

Cowboy boots and cozy sweater!

Couldn't decide shoes so I brought both to work but I'm wearing the nude shoes since I've worn black heels all week.

I work in an interior design center and am walking around a 110,000 square foot showroom all day. I average about 14,000-17,000 steps 5 days a week. My workplace is very fashion-forward and the only real rules are that our outfits can't be too revealing or too casual. I'm looking for a good pair of ankle/mid rise boots that don't have too high or too thin of a heel. Think flat-2". I wear a lot of wide leg jeans, so slightly pointed toe or square toe is preferable. I won't be wearing them every single day, but I want them comfortable and durable enough to walk all day in them at least 2-3x a week in the winter. Preferably under $300 but can go a little more if necessary.

Hey ladies! I know this is subjective- but can you recommend a comfortable pointy toe flats and kitten heel shoes? I have a pair of Vince Camuto Valiey Pump sling back, which are fine bc it’s flat. Price budget is under $150! Thank you!
