When I first started shopping for appropriate work attire, I stocked up on basics like button-down blouses, classic-fitting slacks, cardigans and pencil skirts in neutral colors. After I was working for awhile, I started adding in more fun pieces like different color skirts and cardigans and fun printed tops. My favorite new item of clothing, however, is my cropped trousers! They come in so many different styles, from skinny-leg to brightly colored to cuffed, making them a fun alternative to ordinary work pants! They’re not just for work, either – there are some great casual cropped pants that you can wear anytime you’d wear jeans. Here are some great choices for less than $20! Read More »

Prim and proper ladylike fashion has had a surge in popularity recently, and I’m totally on board with it. I love embracing my girly side with a pretty dress and heels from time to time. Plus wearing details like lace, pearls, ruffles and bows just makes you look so sophisticated and ladylike. Most of all, though, what I like about this style is that it’s all about leaving a little something to the imagination — in other words, classy over trashy.

And you don’t have to spend a lot to look sophisticated and ladylike — here are a few ladylike pieces for just $20 or less each! Read More »

Structured handbags are so chic right now – they put the polished finishing touch on any outfit, whether dressy or casual! When worn with an office-ready outfit, they look polished and businesslike.

This fall, why not switch out last summer’s slouchy hobo or bright tote bag for the more sophisticated look of a structured handbag?

Here are some great options for just $20 (or less) each! Read More »
