I’m lucky enough to work in a creative field which means that the majority of my work wardrobe has become pretty casual, with jeans being the go to for most days. But with meetings, it’s a different story which usually leaves me scrambling to find something a little more professional to wear while with my clients. My secret lately? Neutrals and lots of black. It makes things easier to mix and match while always being in style regardless of the season, plus it’s easy to add some color in with jewelry and accessories to finish up your look.

And can we please talk about this bag for a moment? Vera Bradley just launched a new line of leather bags and I literally squealed when this bag arrived at my doorstep. The quality is amazing and it’s SO roomy – it’s the perfect bag for work since it’s big enough to fit a laptop yet the divided compartments keep things nice and organized. The ladies at my office seem to agree given the countless compliments and questions I’ve got about the bag since its arrival into my work wardrobe. Win.
