BUILDING A WORK WARDROBE WITH BANANA REPUBLIC

Building a work wardrobe with Banana Republic

I can’t believe that we’re already in August and at the office, our interns are saying their goodbyes for the summer. One of the things that I’ve been asked most often by interns as they prepare to graduate are how they should go about building a work wardrobe. While I’ve always worked in environments that were ‘creative casual’ – I still maKe sure to be armed with a few key pieces each season that allow me to feel pulled together and professional. And Banana Republic has long since been a trusted source for me when I’m looking to hit ‘refresh’ on my work wardrobe for a new season.

SPRING SWEATERS AND BOYFRIEND JEANS

Anthropologie Layered Sweaters and Boyfriend Jeans

Remember last Friday when I boasted I’d recently done my ‘spring cleaning’ and packed up all my winter clothes? Well this week started with me frantically digging for my coat as I ran 10 minutes late to work. 30 degree temps and a hectic few days followed leaving me more than ready for Friday… and is 60 degrees too much to ask for?

WEAR NOW, WEAR LATER DRESS

Striped lace-up dress, navy cocoon coat, and OTK riding boots

I know, I know.. it’s only January. But I’m kind of over Winter fashion. Or at the very least, investing much in it. Since I’m already pretty well stocked on sweaters and boots – I’m carefully picking up pieces that I can wear now and also wear later. Here’s look at you, early Spring.

PRINTED BLOUSE AND SOLE SOCIETY RIDING BOOTS

Printed blouse, cardigan and Sole Society over the knee riding boots

On Saturday as we drove back to the city from the lake house there was a moment at a stoplight in which Adam and I looked at each other and we realized we were smack dab in the middle of the most picturesque small town… and since Adam is always scouting his next picture and I’m always chasing cute stoops/houses this place was pretty much a Fall dream. So promptly, the car was pulled over and we went for a wander.

CORAL AND CUTOUT BOOTIES

The Steele Maiden: Spring scarf, distressed denim and cutout booties

Happy Friday! And happy May!  This just so happens to be my favorite month. The weather has always finally made the turn, everything is in bloom, I’ve got those ‘school’s almost out for Summer’ feels, and somewhere near the middle I happen to have a birthday. Plus – it’s the season of bright colors and booties. So basically, an all around good time.
