Q: I’m a mom of two, work at an IT company that doesn’t have a strict dress code. Thanks to that, I easily blur the boundaries between casual and sloppy. I want to incorporate trendy and chic elements into my outfits, but still look appropriate.
A: As a working mom myself, I totally understand your struggle. Below I put together three outfits for you:
First one is this chic office look that is also very easy to transition from day to night:
Clockwise from top left:
Dress: Zara
Necklace: Vintage Chanel (the best indulge-yourself gift! similar here)
Lip: Dolce & Gabbana (my favorite everyday lip gloss!)
Shoe: Stuart Weitzman
Second outfit is a glamorous party look that is perfect for the coming holiday season. I actually styled two outfits for you, whether you want to go a little bit unexpected with the first one–a turtleneck sweater paired with flirty feather skirt and sexy sandal, or you want more coverage but still look sexy and feminine with this sheer tie front blouse paired with the same skirt and a killer over the knee boots.
Clockwise from top left:
Sweater: J.Crew
Clutch: Ted Baker London (also available here; LOVE everything about it!)
Shoe: Stuart Weitzman in ‘Black Goose Bump” (timeless classic that can be worn year-round!)
Skirt: Sam Edelman (on sale here with code “VETSDAY”)
Clockwise from top left:
Blouse: Equipment
Skirt: Sam Edelman (on sale here with code “VETSDAY”)
Shoe: Stuart Weitzman
Clutch: Ted Baker London (also available here; LOVE everything about it!)
Lip: Stila in color “Beso”
Last but not least, an elegant outfit for school event. You can go with what showed on the model, pair this on-trend red midi skirt with a floral sweatshirt, or opt for an urban chic look by teaming it with a simple black sweater and coordinated low pumps:
Clockwise from top left:
Skirt: Asos (petite friendly!)
Sweater: J.Crew
Shoe: Manolo Blahnik (perfect heel height! great alternative here)
Bag: MICHAEL Michael Kors
