Now that fall is creeping up, it’s time to turn that wardrobe over! And since many of you work in an office, I thought it would be the perfect time to share some looks that can be worn both in the office AND out with friends! I’ve never worked in an office building, but I can imagine that it’s pretty annoying to buy outfits for work and your normal day-to-day attire. So today’s looks are all about double duty! You can wear them to the office where you’ll feel like one badass B, then you can wear them straight to happy hour or out to dinner or just on a completely different night. No matter when or where you wear these looks, you’re going to feel amazing!

If you haven’t noticed by now, I LOVE Express. It’s my go-to spot for shopping. No matter what I’m looking for, they have it. And right now they are stockpiled with fall attire. They have fuzzy warm sweaters, cozy pullovers, and some super cute fall skirts, if your weather hasn’t fully committed to the cold temperatures yet. But where Express really shines through is with their work attire. They will make sure you look fresh, professional, and stylish every day at work. And since their apparel is so stylish, you’ll feel comfortable wearing it out to dinner or drinks!

I recently snagged this belted blazer dress (that’s currently on sale for 40% off right now!!) and fell in love with it right away!! I felt like it needed a cami underneath it to make it more work appropriate, but you could easily take that off after work when you head out with your friends! Showing off a little more skin is never a bad thing, in my opinion! I felt like it was the perfect length and it didn’t squeeze at the hips or ride up throughout the day. It comes with a belt, but you could easily swap it out for a thick leopard print belt to give it a little more personality. I just love that I can wear this dress really anywhere and I will always feel confident in it, no matter what I’m doing!

Now let’s talk about this plaid wool jacket!! I feel like plaid is underrated, especially when it comes to jackets! Everyone has a black or grey jacket, but you don’t see plaid near as often. And it can really take an outfit to the next level! I feel like people turn to black or grey because you won’t see it get dirty very easily, but plaid is the exact same way! If you brush up against your dirty car in fall or winter, a plaid jacket like this one won’t show that dirt to the world. This plaid wool jacket will not only elevate whatever look you’re wearing, but it will make you look super professional in the workplace!

    Hey Juli!

    So glad you’re coming to NOLA for the weekend! If you have time, be sure to venture outside the quarter and take in some of the other areas like the Garden District, Mid-City, the Marigny and Bywater. There’s so many neat places to go, but those are great for a first trip. I hope you have a great time while you are here.

    Not sure if you shop at Banana Republic, but I highly recommend it for work attire, too! Express pants have never fit me not matter what style and Banana Republic makes pants for slimmer builds and very tailored to the body. I would check them out for sure! The quality is top notch and they make me feel like a million bucks when I wear their pants!
