WHAT TO WEAR TO WORK

Mar Vista, CA

Unless you wear scrubs or a uniform to work, picking out something to wear every day can be a bit of a time suck. But I’ve found that by investing a great pear of pants, you can swap out inexpensive accessories and tops to keep your go-to office look feeling as fresh as a spring bouquet.

These high-waisted black skinnies are a great place to start. Not only do they maintain their shape after weeks (seriously) of wear, but the high waistline makes them incredibly flattering. To add a bit of extra polish to your look, add a belt like this one I snagged for just $23. or a printed top. This animal printed tank is from West Kei, which you can find on sale at Nordstrom Rack. As for the accessories, these trendy, ultra-light acrylic hoops come in a set of two, for just $14. With the addition of a few low-priced pieces, you can add some variety to your weekday look and help answer that perpetual “What should I wear today?” question.

MEET THE Snakeskin Print Collection BY Ann Taylor

Beverly Hills, CA

Last week Ann Taylor launched a limited-edition Snakeskin Print Capsule Collection, and I adore it. Including a pair of shoes, several tops, a midi skirt, and a belt, this collection is a refined approach to the ever popular animal print. So if you're like me and you're constantly looking to give your office outfit a boost, these pieces are just perfect. Not too bold or overpowering, I love that it gives me the ability to try on the latest animal print trend, without feeling like I've abandoned my personal (more classic) style. 

I am wearing the long sleeve Snakeskin Henley Blouse with a pair of ripped skinnies and some fun accessories: a velvet clutch, slingback pumps, and some femme hair barrettes. I love it because the lighter, breezy fabric makes it a great option for spring and summer! Which is your favorite piece from the collection?

NOT SO BLACK & WHITE

DTLA

Hello Friday! Looking to update your weekend look without going on a shopping spree bender? I hear that. Adding a new accessory or two can really take your classic black and white looks up a notch. This printed dress from Nordstrom Rack is a simple (and affordable!) office or picnic date staple. Layer on the black and white with a pair of oversized resin hoops from Baublebar, a designer belt, or a bold pair of cateye shades. I wore this pair on my recent trip to Italy and it made even the most casual looks feel a bit more polished. Aside from these, I also love tassel earrings and statement rings this season. What are some of your favorite ways to accessorize at the moment?
