Hi Sweet Ladies...We have had so many requests from our viewers to tackle Office Wear....especially for the summer. I hope this video gave you some new ideas for outfits that you can wear to work and still stay cool this summer! For more HOT Weather looks, check out this video next: th-cam.com/video/G6znvyLYrbs/w-d-xo.html xo
Oh I’m so here for this!!!! Thank you Erin! I buy Expess blazers,a lot. Ok Erin I have to brag on you!!! Since changing my Boho look to your styles of suits for work I’ve gotten so many compliments! The younger girls at the office say I win the best dressed in our office. So much fun wearing classy looks! Thanks Erin
LOVE that, Noni! Thanks so much for sharing that with me. SO glad to have been able to help in some small way! xo
On my way to the office I have on a 2 pc yellow suit. With my studded Valentino’s
I’m a teacher, and following your guidelines has me getting all sorts of compliments from students and staff. I do find I can get away with nicer shorts (not Bermudas) at school so long as I style them with a blazer and loafers. However, at my former school, probably not.
Oo! A blazer and loafers! That's my kind of outfit!
I'm a teacher too! How I dress has always depended on administration. I usually dress business-casual. My latest administrator does not approve of jeans or leggings except on Friday. I've never attempted wearing shorts, but I would wear them if styled with a blazer. I may try it this upcoming school year since it will still be summer when I go back!
Love that u dress up...I have seen some teachers wear ratty jeans and big sloppy tee shirts. I think kids have more respect if the teacher cares about their appearance...nothing wrong with a nice pair of jeans , more fitted top...nice shoes.
Thanks so much for watching, Amy! So glad that you're finding my tips helpful. SO glad you are here! xo
I'm a teacher too, and we're getting a new principal. So far dresses are all good, regardless of length, but I need layers or jackets to top . Your tips are always helpful to dress appropriately.
I am a real estate agent in a small town in upstate NY. Your channel helps me look polished & classy--whether I'm sitting in the office or travelling all over the county :)
Thanks SO much for your sweet comment...SO glad that you're finding my tips helpful! xo
Our office is business casual, so wearing suits makes people wonder if you're going on an interview later. 😊 I'd love to see a business casual ideas video.
I am a Database Developer for a municipality.
Same. I have a white blazer but don't wear it for that reason and also because it's way too hot for my commute!
I totally hear you, Danielle! Thanks for the suggestion. I'd suggest just taking inspiration from these looks, but fitting it into your own personal style and your own office needs! So if you love the blazer look, go for a more casual one that is a linen blend, and pair it with jeans...or do the dresses and skirts but leave the blazer off! Thanks so much for watching! xo
@@BusbeeStyle thank you so much for the awesome ideas! Love them!
I'm a software engineer so yes to the business casual video!
I get it. Something that I do is wear a brighter shirt. Even a bright cami under my white button down and allow the top buttons to be open to show the color. I also wear pale pink pants for example, instead of khakis or a colored or white loafer or oxford in summer. Cole Haan and Coach have good options and I get lots of compliments. They last for years. Fun light weight socks are a conversation piece too.
Hey Erin!
I love your content and appreciate how positive you are. I wanted to also tell you thank you for how inclusive you make your language. I have noticed a shift with you in the last year or so where you started saying partner or significant other instead of spouse. This is such a small thing, but really makes an inclusive impact. As the mama of an LGBTQ kiddo I appreciate content creators that think of everyone when using language. I also think it says a lot about who you are as a person and your character. I know standing with and saving space for others can make some business owners concerned about the financial impact on making such decisions. I’m grateful that you have chosen kindness and love. Thank you!
All about spreading kindness and respect! Let's build each other up! Thanks so much for your support, Jacy. SO glad you are here! xo
Hi there and my name is Trish. I'm an attorney with the Department of Defense. I love your channel because after two years of teleworking, my wardrobe needs a refresh! Thanks for all the info! I'd love an episode geared towards people with specific body types or issues and your favorite brands to address them, e.g. waist-to-hip ratio, larger busts, thick legs, etc.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing a great idea, Trish! Truly appreciate YOU! xo
Hi Erin! I’m a 911 dispatcher. I love your videos! At work it’s casual but I always elevate my looks and I receive a lot of compliments. You help me achieving that!
You have such an important job, Claudia! Thanks so much for watching, SO glad you are here!! xo
Hi! I'm the Dean of the Library at a medium size university. (side note--I've lost quite a bit of weight over the past 6 months and this channel has been INVALUABLE with revamping my work style for my new body!). My uniform is slacks or jeans, a top, and a blazer for meetings. I usually do a neutral top and more vibrant blazer or vice versa. I'm a sucker for fun necklaces--kicks up an outfit without requiring too much thought.
This summer I've been wearing a lot of navy and white as my neutrals, with bold pinks and lighter blues for color. I also invested in a few linen jackets this summer as part of my larger wardrobe refresh, and I LOVE them. Today is a no-meeting day and summers in higher ed are a bit more dressed down, so I'm in grey loafers and slacks, a white tee, and a pink, green and blue tropical-ish print button up layered on top and tied around the waist. Finished the look with one of those multi-strand paper clip necklaces in silver. If I'd had a meeting today I would have ditched the button-up and gone for one of the more colorful linen blazers, either a hot pink or aqua.
Thanks so much for your comment, Sarah! So glad that you're finding my tips helpful and LOVE to hear that you're rocking the bold colors!! xo
I am a Marketing Coordinator. I work primarily with copywriting/content creation. Our office dress code is quite relaxed. We can wear pretty much what we want, within reason. But I love to wear blazers and pretty dresses. So I do. 💃
Love it!! Thanks so much for your comment, Henriette! xo
Hi Erin, I love your videos. I am a co-owner and a COO in an energy company - it’s our family business and we are more or less smart-casual, but we always appreciate when staff is trying to wear smart & stylish clothes and it visibly helps them to get “into the work mood”, they take their job much more seriously and it’s definitely much more professional than just be casual. Thanks for great styling tips.
SO true, Barbara! Thanks so much for watching! xo
Im a social worker. When COVID hit we all started working from home and now aren’t going back to the office. When I did work in the office, most of my colleagues dressed much more casually than I did. It’s been difficult to transition to a more casual wardrobe. I’ve always enjoyed dressing up for work.
I'm sure it will take some time to see more of the elevated styles from pre-Covid...but as long as you are wearing what you love and feel GREAT in, that's all that matters! Thanks for watching, Tracy! xo
Working from home: maybe you're still viewed on computer so dress nice still?
I think the pendulum will swing back toward elevated dressing given the pressure from CEOs to return to the office. That’s sure to impact work culture in all industries and fields.
High school teacher here. The more casual the other admin/teachers get the more I step it up. Sure, you can teach in anything, but the students pay attention… They don’t even realize they are treating me with more respect than the teachers in jeans, but they do. (Works on co-workers/admin too!)
Tip for wearing white pants: I usually pair them with a long beige cardigan that I can take off and on. Great layer when the AC gets too much and covers the spots that might get dirty!
Thanks so much for watching, Caren! xo
@@BusbeeStyle And your channel is fantastic! You have gotten me over that thought of “I love this outfit, but is it too much?” I can now say to myself “I love this outfit, so I’m wearing it!” ❤️
@@carenkilian Absolutely LOVE that!
Good for you, Caren! I'm a retired elementary teacher & always believed both students & parents took me more seriously when I dressed as a professional.
Hi Erin! I work in an office as a commercial interior designer. It’s a creative environment so I like to have fun with my fashion and push the envelope. Like you say, drama in the wardrobe not in my life!
Love it! You are spot on, Emily! Thanks for watching! xo
I’m the Director of my own company in the UK and business meetings with venues are looming! I’ve followed you for over a year and thanks to the tips I’ve picked up from you, I think my wardrobe is ready 😊
Yay!! Thanks so much for watching, Julie! You've got this! xo
I am a compliance consultant in the employee benefits industry. Normally I work from home, but have been to around 4-5 business conferences this year. I've had success with the blazer over the maxi dress look. It was super hot outside, but freezing in those hotel ballrooms. I took off the blazer and changed into sandals for the very casual mixer dinner at a BBQ joint. Worked well. So, that will be my go-to summer professional wear this year.
Great, easy way to go from day to night looks! Thanks for watching, Sarah!! xo
Hi, Erin! I'm Stacey and am a nurse supervisor. I wear navy blue scrubs literally every day 5 days a week and, before I stumbled across your channel a few years ago, wasn't the best at putting together nicer outfits for evenings and weekends. Now, even my 24 year old daughter borrows my clothes. 😊 Thank you for such great content and positivity!
Wow, Stacey! LOVE to hear that you've found my tips helpful. Thanks SO much for watching! xo
I'm a middle school teacher. We can do jeans, but I, like you, stay far away from rips and whiskering. I am getting into fun teacher tees paired with midi skirts or a printed pant. Love your channel!
Thanks so much for watching! Love the skirts!! xo
I'm a primary school teacher but big into fashion so I like to dress a little more elevated than the general casual vibe that is in our school. I'm loving culotte wide leg trousers and culotte jumpsuits for summer workwear. I also love a good palazzo pant or a midi skirt with a shoulderpad bodysuit. I have introduced what I call "Fabulous Fashion Friday" into my work wardrobe this summer which usually involves a maxi dress of some description! 😃
Love that!! Thanks so much for watching! xo
Fabulous Fashion Friday! Love it!!
Hi Erin. I’m Cathy and I have two jobs. I work full time as an event planner for a local nonprofit in Dallas, TX and outside of that I’m a Life Purpose & Relationship Coach. Since taking your fashion advice and tips I get style compliments on a regular basis.
Thanks for watching, Cathy!! SO glad you're finding my tips helpful! xo
Great video Erin! I'm Kim and I am a Labor and Delivery nurse....scrubs are my life or work wear for me! But I love getting dressed and dressing nice in my free time!
Thanks so much for watching, Kim!! xo
I’m in advertising, and our industry is pretty casual. Jeans are my staple, with a nice shirt and a blazer, but I can definitely get away with jeans and a t-shirt if there are no external meetings.
Love the content!
So glad that you are enjoying my videos! Thanks for watching! xo
I'm an insurance agent. We've been working from home since March 2020. This week was a big anniversary for our company so everyone came into the office. I was so nervous...even though I've worked for this company for over 18 years. What to wear? I wore a wide leg beige linen pant and a white t-shirt. I felt so cute. Summery but not too casual. It was great to see everyone face-to-face again!
How great that must have been to have everyone back together...Thanks for sharing that story with me, Jennifer! xo
I'm a social worker at a preschool, so it's pretty casual but I love my jackets and suits!!
Thanks so much for watching, Carmen! xo
My name is Nancy and I kind of do it all at my husband’s 55 person and growing aerospace engineering company. I work with mostly men so I tend to wear very tailored pieces and not dresses. These blazers are very pretty 🤩 I personally like white because I feel now that I’m older it’s more flattering on me than the darker colors. Although I too am nervous about getting stains 😆
Wow, Nancy! Thanks for sharing and thanks so much for watching! xo
Love the white suit. This color lipstick is very flattering. You should wear it more often.
Thanks, Debbie! Loving all of the different lip colors from this one to the bold pinks and reds...really just depends on my mood. Thanks so much for watching! xo
This is great for us in Miami. 🥰
My names is Massy and I’m an HR manager. I’m currently wearing a maxi skirt from target that is beige with a black checkered print and an elevated black T-shirt from Express with flutter sleeves and little heels. I’m also wearing it with a sweater type blazer from Express to keep it polished. Looooove your channel!
Love it! SO glad this was helpful, Massy! Thanks so much for watching. xo
Hi Erin! I’m an Executive Assistant at a Bank and whole our dress is business casual, I like to dress nicely and always polished and professional! Loved this video! Looking forward to wearing my new white blazer and pants this week! You are terrific! Can’t say thanks enough!!!
Thanks so much for watching, Mary! So glad you found this helpful!! xo
Emma and a Teacher! Love, Love, Love your Chanel! Have gotten a lot of Inso for classroom attire once we go back in the fall.
Thank you SO much for your sweet comment, Emma! So glad you are here and enjoying my videos! xo
I am a call center manager, so my style is predominately business, but I always spice it up with some edgy pieces.
Always fun to spice things up a bit! Thanks so much for watching! xo
Hi Erin, I am a psychologist in Europe. I work in a medical clinic. Your channel helped me find my style. It encouraged me to be more feminime and professional at the same time. I appreciate you express opinions authenticaly but at the same time understandably about the style.
Thanks so much for watching!! So glad you're finding my tips helpful, Hana! xo
This is a wonderful template for office, as well as church style during the warmer months Thank you for these tips!
I work in technology. I'm a Business Systems/Programmer Analyst and work at a community college. When I started my career, I always dressed in a suite, slacks, blouses, dresses. Over the years, the work environment dress moved to more casual Friday everyday. I still wear an occasional suit, but really my go to attire is pants or jeans and a blazer - this is my uniform mostly. I love my blazers! They always finish my outfit and give me a more profession casual look in the office. I always have a blazer or professional looking jacket, so if I have an unexpected meeting and I'm wearing jeans, I can up my game and look more professional for my meeting. Love you video's Erin! Love your style and encouragement to have fun dressing as we age, and I'm a mature women who likes to look nice and dress sharp!
Thanks so much for watching, Patty! Love getting to hear a bit about YOU!! xo
I am the lead singer and keyboardist in a top San Diego Cover Band. I have watched you for years now, and my ability to properly select clothes for myself is so much better, with your help. Thanks for all you do and your
super high-quality content.
Well I am honored to have been able to help in some small way!! Thanks so much for watching! xo
Hey San Diego! What band?
I am Doctor of Pharmacy and would love more work wear videos! Thank you!! Sending Love!
Thanks so much for watching, Jennifer! xo
Have you heard of a Suit-Abaya well that is what we are transitioning more towards in Saudi Arabia. A hybrid between a suit and the “less traditional” abaya.!
Robin,care giver ( nursing assistant in an assisted living facility)
I can wear any color scrubs I want. Due to the heat we can wear tee shirts. I make the uniform mine with jewelry, hair style and pairing fun colors.
Thanks so much for watching, Robin! Love getting to hear a little bit about YOU! Thanks for sharing. xo
Thank you so much for this video. I love suits. Adding a blazer to just about any work outfit looks so classy.
I'm a college administrator, but I still teach occasionally when the need arises and no one else wants to teach income tax. 😊
Love it! Thanks so much for watching, Wendy! xo
That is what I did too...I was a psych professor and college administrator I taught once in awhile, also I was asst director of a state education agency at another time in my career. I retired at 50 to sail the Caribbean with my mate after spending my entire adult life in higher ed either as a student or professionally.
Now we are retired just outside a beautiful Spanish colonial town in Central America, perched on the side of an extinct volcano, two other volcanos in the distance one sporadically active....at a safe distance. Year round Spring climate daytime, blazers or jackets at night when it is cooler.
Professional and businesswomen here retired or not, dress in blazers and slacks or mostly. Many fly to MIami to shop once or twice a year. Several fly together and make a girls week of it. These local women and some retirees from the US, Canada, and Europe are my friends. My daughter, a just retired Coast Guard helicopter pilot, lives in the Ft. Lauderdale area, so I tend to shop there when visiting. We all have an active social life together, the women and their mates, lots of restaurant dates as groups and social activities.
Funny how we dress very like we all did when working. Many especially like the British country look for casual clothing riding boots, tweed jackets, etc very popular here, like old Ralph Lauren ads. That really surprised me, the English country look in Latin America.Except for the boots that was often what I wore in my career, except I come from an era when female administrators had to wear skirted suits, pumps and pantyhose. I always joked my happiest day would be the day I made a bonfire of all my pantyhose the day I retired.
It was all bathing suits and shorts on the sailboat before we settled here...the most free I have ever been was that period, just us, the Caribbean, anchored off as many tiny non inhabited islands as we could find...we carried 300 books...a serene life...this one is nice too, feels like we have fallen into a tropical Isabel Allende novel. Sublime. I loved my career and I have loved my retirement..I have been so lucky in life. Best regards to you, I hope you enjoy yourself as much as I did.
I’m a stay at home mom and I still dress up! Why not? I’m loving white this summer -Dawn dish liquid is my best friend! I always said that if something were to happen to me I want to look good on the mortician’s table 😂
Why not!? Love that, Ann! Dress for YOU! Thanks so much for watching! xo
A stay-at -home mom is a job!! Yessss! Dress for yourself & to set an example for your children. Coudos to you Ann!
I am an engineer and work in absolutely male dominated environment. 99% of the time I am the only woman in the room. We have basically no dress code. Kinda like tech industry and google. But clothing is still important. May be even more important than when you have a dress code. I need to think before all meetings about how I want to be perceived, which emotions I want to cause? I need to think about what is my strat for the meeting and dress so that it supports my goals. I love and use a lot the look: "summer dress with a blazer". I have blazers in various colors, but never printed. And they go pretty well with very floral summery printed light dresses.
I can so relate to your comment. After 30 years in Silicon Valley high tech, I'm STILL the only woman in the room. You have a great outlook on how curated fashion choices can distinguish you amongst all the male colleagues. It's so easy to fall into the Tech Bro no-dress-code-because-I'm too-smart-to-care attitude that pervades high tech, and I do see a fair number of younger women in the field adopting the gray hoodie and jeans look. In some cases, they look like male robots. IMO, you're definitely on the right track to success!
Makes such a difference! Thanks so much for sharing...And thanks for watching! xo
Hi Erin! Great tips!! I’m a Senior Emergency Services Coordinator for the state of CA emergency management agency. I work in the field and also the office. I wear my uniform when I’m activated or deployed on an incident. I keep field gear in my truck and wear street clothes in the office. I’m finally comfortable with the idea of wearing white, especially white jeans, and I’m on the hunt. Everything seems to be high waisted, which I cannot wear because of my body shape, so it’s been a challenge. Thank you for sharing your amazing content. You have excellent tips!!
If high-rise isn't for you, look for mid-rise, sometimes even low, depending on your body! Thanks SO much for watching. SO glad you are enjoying my tips, Jennifer! xo
Dear Erin, I found a lot of offices use too much airco. The cold is what's doing me in for (and the temp difference when going outside of course), not the heat! Anyone else has this problem? Lovely ideas though Erin! Love, Carolina
ps: I mean "I need a scarf and maybe some mittens' kinda cold office, not just a temp for a blazer;). I have been told 'we can roast or freeze, but with the current AC system there is no in between', lol.
I remember being so cold, have to leave the office to go outside to warm up!!
I hear you there! WAY too cold...Thanks for watching, Carolina! xo
Love your video. So happy to hear that suits are back in! I love white and have always worn it
Love it!! Thanks for watching, Elizabeth! xo
I work in a school as a First Aid Officer, always wearing very smart and elegant because parents come every day to pick up sick students, so, I am representing my school..!! Thank you so much for your nice video😍😍😍😍
Great way to represent your place of work! Thanks for watching, Carmen! xo
Erin you are so beautiful inside and out. You are a wealth of information. I hope one day you will write a reference type book. You have taught me so much! I am a registered nurse, yet I have stayed at home to raise our four children. My husband is a physician. When I step foot in a business type setting I love to apply as many of Erin’s principles as I can. I need to focus more on the details of the accessorizing. I would say I need to have more summer type of handbags to complement my outfit such as a basket weave bag, a white bag, more brightly pop of color bags. I love how Erin emphasized wearing white, the colorful outfits, maxi dresses can be extra feminine….and many, many, more important points. Thank you dear sweet Erin❤️
Thank you SO much for your sweet comment, Amy! Thankful to have you here and honored to be able to be a small part of your style journey! xo
Like the book idea! I had a great book called “how not to look old”…Which is at least 15 years old now 😊
I’m in quality assurance for a pharmaceutical GMP manufacturer ❤️ thank you so much for your guidance. The girls half my age in my office compliment me on my outfits all the time. It’s all thanks to you!!❤️❤️
Love it! So glad you enjoyed this one, Jaime! Thanks so much for watching! xo
Great video, though I now work in a super-casual office (nonprofit supporting youth) where we focus on not dressing too formally. Our goal is to be relatable- though short skirts, tight dresses, low-cut tops, etc. are still not okay. We can wear shorts, jeans, and other comfy clothes. I’ve been able to focus on having good clothing for every day of the week. Of course when special guests visit ( the governor), we all dress up a bit!
Thanks so much for sharing a bit about you! And thank you for watching!! xo
You explained this Avoid these mistakes really well! Thanks, for the great points about what should I avoid for my summer outfits. I'll remember those tips for next time. This really made me think about how it can me feel more confident and happy.
I'm a teacher and I love your channel. 💕These simple things to keep in mind make all the difference. No matter what people say- someone is watching/judging lol . Always a great idea to look polished and classy🌹
Thanks so much for watching!! Love getting to hear a little bit about you! Glad you enjoyed this one! xo
@@BusbeeStyle Absolutely 😊
Hi Erin, I work with special needs adults and have been following you for years and have taken your advice. I particularly have loved when you have done budget videos. Because people are really watching their budgets now I'm hoping you can do a fall budget video for both office and casual outfits.
Thanks for your suggestion, Linda! I hope that you can use my tips to shop for similar looks at truly any budget. We do work very hard to provide "For Less" options in each description box as well, this video is a look at only items from Express though. We've also got the huge Nordstrom Anniversary sale coming up soon, so stay tuned for GREAT deals on things for fall/winter! Preview day is next week... so keep your eyes out for our look at that next Thursday! xo
That skirt and dress print is so beautiful!
I agree! Lovely print. Thanks for watching, Lola! xo
I work for myself, I'm a writer and illustrator but even so I always dress in a groomed way, smart casual or even when casual never sloppy. It's just part of my personality to put effort into my appearance and yet it is no effort it is just part of my daily ritual. It helps you to focus and feel at peace in yourself. Once I'm done clothes, hair, makeup (no longer than 45 mins) in total I never have to keep checking or feeling undone, I get on with my day relaxed and professional. Xx
Love to hear that...Thanks so much for sharing and thanks for watching! How you prepare yourself each and every day makes SUCH a difference in productivity and your overall mood. xo
Kelly. Charitable giving for Costco. Thank you Erin! I am a huge fan!
I’m a Financial Reporting Analyst in NYC! I love watching you, Erin!
Thanks so much for your support, Janet! xo
Hi Erin! My name is Holly and I’m a Chief Administrative Officer. You have just great advice for outfits and being over HR, this video is spot on! Navigating wardrobe of staff during Louisiana summers can be tough!
I feel for you there, Holly! Thanks so much for watching. SO glad you enjoyed this one!! xo
It's still hot here in SoCal so this video is helpful! I used to work in an office, it was in the entertainment industry - CBS so it was more casual, I could dress fun. Now I mostly work from home unless I'm teaching an on-site workshop for a corporate client or doing on-site coaching. I'm a Wellness & Life Coach for women over 40, I also coach on clean beauty & eco-friendly living so I love that you place priority on sustainability!

Kathy - I’m retired now but worked in several professions, sales and marketing, real estate and facilities management… almost always in the corporate world where professionalism was the norm. Love seeing the different outfits as they bring me right back to the work world. I still enjoy fashion and dressing that way even when I don’t need to! Funny though, I have never been able to wear distressed jeans!
So important to dress for YOU! Thanks so much for watching, Kathy!! Love hearing a little bit about you. xo

I'm a high school Science teacher and get dressed up every day. I don't dress like a typical Science teacher!! For a long time, I used to wear a lot of dresses (one and done) but now I am findining I'm loving separates. On the bottom half, I tend to wear dramatic pants or skirts. Then for tops I like to have a bit of stretch that allow me to move my arms around. I mostly wear some kind of heel. However, on the days when I teach each lesson I tend to wear my Superga one inch sole white leather sneakers. They are so comfy!!
Love it! Thanks so much for watching, Heather! xo
Thank you so much for your videos! I’m a college professor and counselor. Summer workwear is always tricky when it’s 95 and humid inside and 65 inside. Great suggestions!

Hi I’m Tanya! Even though I’m rarely seen as a residential house cleaner I still love to pair a fun top with my high-waisted flare cut jeans! That’s what I feel confident in plus I always accessorize with some simple jewelry.
Thanks so much for watching, Tanya! Love that...it can make such a difference. Dress for YOU! xo
Hi Erin. I enjoy your videos and fashion. I worked for 40 years in the legal field as a secretary/paralegal. The large firms that I worked for expected the staff to be about as professionally dressed as the attorneys (sans the attorney's salary!). I remember at my last firm, when they allowed casual Fridays, I was amazed at how many people thought that meant you could wear ratty jeans and sandals. They finally gave an ultimatum and said that if casual Friday was to continue there would be no more blue jeans (they did concede to other-colored jeans). This was in central Florida!
Thanks so much for watching, Linda! And thanks for sharing that with me! xo
Love your channel! Encourage me to be bold and classic with my outfits.

Olga from Germany, I'm IT specialist in a Managment position. Thanks to your repeated recommendation I changed to more light and white clothes in the past years. I'm a mother of two boys (10y and 11 months) and dont regret the change to lighter clothes. I love to mix colors with white. When white gets dirty you need to wash it as soon as possible with other white clothes then you have no problems with staining.
I always followed the rule: dress for the job you want not for the one you have. So extra chick is for me necessary
Love that, Olga! Love hearing a little bit about YOU! Thanks for watching. xo
I work as a cost account and I love all these work outfit ideas ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching, Jennifer! So glad you enjoyed this one! xo
East coast lawyer here. I do everything you mentioned. Blazers can make almost anything office appropriate. Slingbacks tho are the most open shoes possible. No sandals. West coast you can get away with almost anything depending on the client. My west coast clients go around in flip flops and I dress down to see them but still dress better. I might wear a dark tailored jeans dress amd white blazer to see a west coast client. Nothing too short. Material or tailoring can transform your clothing.
Thanks so much for watching! Love how much a blazer can add to a look! xo
Thank you, Erin for this video. Perfect timing! I have a Board Meeting mid-August and I have been dreading what to wear as it is quite hot during the summer months. Love the white suit! Unfortunately, the high waisted pleated pants are no longer available in white on Express, but I got the idea and can look for an alternative. Thank you!
Perfect timing! Thanks so much for watching!! SO glad this was helpful. xo
I’m a pilot in the Air Force, I wear a green jump suit every day!! But it’s tailored so at least I am making it work for me🤪 I love dressing up for church, date nights, girls nights, weekends, and Special occasions 😍
Thanks so much for watching!! Love hearing about YOU! xo
Thank you for your service!
Hi Erin! I'm Kathleen, and I've been following you and your great style advice since the beginning! I'm a librarian and no one really cares what I wear as long as I look professional, but I like to dress for me because it makes me happy. I'm often in jeans or very casual pants, dresses and skirts, but I do wear scarves, blazers, and accessories to personalize and polish my looks. Thanks for all the great content! You look amazing, by the way!
SO important to dress for YOU!! Thanks so much for watching! xo
