Okay, so, today I wanted to talk about something that’s been on my mind lately: fall professional dressing. You know, how to dress for work when the weather starts getting chilly, but you still want to look sharp.
First, I started by taking a look at my current work wardrobe. I noticed I had a lot of summer clothes that wouldn’t really work for fall. A lot of light dresses and open-toed shoes. I made a mental note to keep wearing them before the weather changed too much.
Then I went online. I tried to get some inspiration from fashion blogs and websites, but honestly, a lot of it was way too over the top for my taste. I mean, I work in a pretty standard office, not on a runway! Still, it gave me some general ideas.
After that, I decided to hit the stores. I figured it would be good to actually try some things on and see what worked for me. I went to a few different places, just browsing and trying stuff out. It was kind of fun, actually. It was a process of finding out what I liked and didn’t like.
My Key Takeaways
- Layering is key. This one’s kind of obvious, but it’s really true. I found some great cardigans and blazers that I can throw over my summer dresses to make them more fall-appropriate.
- Don’t be afraid of color. Fall doesn’t have to mean all black and gray. I found some really nice pieces in deep reds, oranges, and greens.
- Comfort is important. I spend a lot of time sitting at my desk, so I need clothes that are comfortable and don’t restrict my movement. I focused on finding clothes that were stylish, but also felt good to wear.
- It’s okay to mix and match. I realized that I don’t need to buy a whole new wardrobe. I can mix and match pieces from my summer wardrobe with new fall pieces to create new outfits.
The last step was putting it all together. I spent a Sunday afternoon trying out different combinations. I mixed my old summer dresses with new cardigans, tried on different pairs of shoes, and experimented with scarves and jewelry. I have to say, I was pretty happy with the results! I have several new fall outfits now, that are both professional and stylish.
So, yeah, that’s my fall professional dressing journey. It was a bit of a process, but I learned a lot, and now I feel a lot more confident about my work wardrobe. I will be looking like a boss.
