1. Start with Basics
Invest in quality basics like sleek, flat front black trousers, a white blouse, and a neutral blazer. Black, blue and/or brown are best, however, pops of color won't hurt nobody! These pieces form the foundation of your work wardrobe, and you can build many outfits from this strong foundation. Keep reading!!
2. Mix and Match
Use your basics pieces to create many different outfits. Pair your black trousers with various t-shirts and blouses under those blazers for a new look each day. Go from super casual with pants, a cute tee and top it with a colorful blazer, or make your outfit corporate classy with those same pants, a white blouse and a black blazer.
3. Add Layers
Cardigans, vests, and scarves can add interest to your outfits. Layering is a cost-effective way to diversify your wardrobe. Layering is also a way to stay warm in the winter and keep that extra layer in the summer just in case your walk into too much air conditioning in the summertime. These layers can also be used to add pops of color to a solid look and bring out your personality. Let it shine Sis!!
4. Incorporate Trends
Incorporate a few trendy pieces each season to keep your wardrobe fresh. Don't be afraid to grab one or two pieces that you may not have purchased before. BE DARING!! BE BOLD!! Opt for affordable versions of trendy items. Don't break the bank on something that will sit in your closet until Jesus returns!
Creating stylish work outfits on a budget is possible with the right basics and a few versatile pieces. If you are just getting started in the professional workplace, don't be afraid to shop in the resale shops or in places like Goodwill just to get a few good pieces in your closet to get you going. Don't sleep on Walmart or Ross either! They are great places to find good office pieces.
Either way, it's not hard at all to remain professionally POSH and #OnABudget!!
