Happy Wednesday!
I love having outfits that I can wear to work that I don’t have to put any effort into. In fact, I have tried to build my closet so that even if I oversleep I can go and just grab something with very little thought and still feel confident in what I’m wearing.
This outfit is a great example of this. Not overly complicated, but still stylish and pulled together. It took me more time to actually get out of bed then it did to get dress-that’s a win in the morning!
I just have to mention how in love I am with my new shoes-these pointed-toe Sam Edelman flats have been a dream come true. I love it when a pair of shoes fit perfectly-I may not be Cinderella, but I got me some glass slippers. 😉
Much love,
Mel

Good Morning!
I always tell my clients that one of the best things you can own for your professional workwear, besides a pencil skirt, is one of these more form fitting shift dresses. They are figure flattering and so simple to wear year-round, no matter what your climate is like.
I found this one at Madewell while we were in San Francisco last week. Best part, besides the color that I love, is that it was on sale for $30 less the original price. Our office is normally sub-zero thanks to the air conditioning so I did pair it with a mint sweater, but once I left the office, this is what I was wearing.
Hope everyone is enjoying their day! Or at least counting the minutes until happy hour! 😉
Much love,
Mel

Happy Thursday Everyone!
One of my goals as a wardrobe stylist is to ensure that every piece in my clients wardrobe evokes a feeling of confidence and empowerment. I mean, in a perfect world pajamas would make every one of us proactive and confident, and who knows, if you’re someone who can take on the world wearing pjs, then kudos! But for the majority, the only thing that pajamas makes us confident of is that the couch or bed are in our immediate future. And maybe some Netflix bingewatching to feel like we’ve done SOMETHING with our day. 😉
Every time I wear this lace pencil skirt, I feel that sense of empowerment. I know I’m damn good at what I do and I have the confidence to move forward, in both aspects of my professional career. Hopefully you have something that evokes confidence in you too, if not, best get to shopping.
Much love,
Mel

Oh Thank God, it’s almost the weekend!
As much as I love wearing heels, I am not one of those fashion people who feels the need to wear them for doing little things like running errands. Especially if I’m styling for a client and running from store to store. There is a time and a place for fashion over function and I choose my battles carefully. So when I know that I am going to be making returns and scouting new items for clients, I go with something stylish but comfortable-like you see here. It’s the key to all shopping really. Wear an outfit and shoes that you will be able to last long in, otherwise poor decisions will be made or nothing will get done in an effort to just get home and change into comfy clothes. It’s the same philosophy that I held even in my corporate days-I could wear heels all day in the office but kept a pair of flats in a drawer in case a lunch walk or a quick trip to the mall was planned. Nobody wants to see someone hobbling along cause their shoes are not right for the situation.
And that, my friends, is my life advice for you today. 😉
Much love,
Mel
