Early Fall Workwear

It’s time again to round up some workwear! Fall colors are here but that doesn’t mean it’s cooling down anytime soon. This is a great time to start looking through your closet and seeing what colors and pieces can take you into the next season. I love sleeveless or short sleeve tops that can be worn alone now and with a outer layer later. Check out the colors we are going to be seeing into fall and winter.

If you are new here, I’m a former corporate recruiter who spent over 12 years in business suits. Many workplaces have adopted a more casual dress code in the past few years. I try to mix my love for a classic professional look with a more dressed-down but if I find a great suit I can’t help myself!

For reference I’m 5’5, size 12/31, 38D (with a recent breast lift & implants so the girls sit higher these days). I list the sizes I’m wearing below each image and give my fit tips based on my previous experience with the brand and on the size guides provided.
