Jackets and Blazers

Sweaters and Knits

I love the durability of LL Bean cashmere. At $275, it's priced very reasonably for cashmere. I love it in the mock neck so you can easily dress up or down. I have this one in many colors!

Jeans and Pants

I wear jeans almost every day. It's part of my wear to work office staple. I wear them beyond Fridays. But it's important to ensure they're office appropriate. No rips. And I try to stay away from light washes. Dark denim with wider legs tend to work...
