Chances are you’ve been using your drawers a lot

Chances are you’ve been using your drawers a lot more lately, reaching for leggings or sweatpants over your nicely hung trousers. Keep them neat and tidy like a personal stylist would by using clear expandable drawer dividers and folding #konmari style! Your most used areas should be the most organized, allowing you to see everything you own, have a quick system for putting clean clothes away, and easily get dressed every day.

Ready for your @thecontainerstore shopping spree? Head to the link in my bio for this week’s blog filled with our favorite closet tools. I never was a believer in having dozens of organizing products, however having the *right* products really does make all the difference.

ALSO! If you weren’t able to tune in live with me and @organizedmamas last week, head to her account to view our IGTV! Our product philosophies may surprise you!

The final and most exciting week of our Five Must-

The final and most exciting week of our Five Must-Haves Challenge is here: the comfortable blazer. Upgrading from a cardigan to a blazer, even while working from home, is the most impactful step you can take towards wearing your power. Of course, the challenge is finding a blazer that fits well and allows you to move without restriction! Find your perfect blazer in our blog, 🔗 in bio.

The @Athleta blazer from this picture is basically the best pandemic fashion piece, transitioning so seamlessly from workout wear to business casual. It’s on sale now, but only a few sizes are left (and yes, me and the model are matching!). If your size isn’t available, check Poshmark for the Interstellar or Stellar blazer. We just had a client purchase hers this way!

We are going to miss our weekly Zoom Deep Dives discussing the five must-haves. We’re thinking of doing a monthly community chat with our blog readers from now on! Any suggestions on topics?

Whether it’s leather or nylon, a tote or a backp

Whether it’s leather or nylon, a tote or a backpack, a neutral or a color, affordable or luxury, you need the perfect work bag FOR YOU. This is why we offered a TON of options in this week’s blog, Your Perfect Work Tote.

Maybe you don’t need a tote while working from home, but with many workplaces planning their transition back to the office, start thinking ahead. Personally, I’ve been using my tote even while at home to keep things organized at my desk.

And yes, when @kyleanndunphy and I find something good, we both get it. Hence our matching black @rebeccaminkoff bags and our matching iridescent @pixiemood bags (that a client got too!)

We can do this.
PS I am wearing my cape today. Seriously! My fave sleeveless cape tee from @kitandace 😉.

Swipe for #InstagramVSreality. As much as I would love to take daily outfit photos for you guys, it doesn’t always happen as my kids are trying to kill each other (and apparently pose as if punching me!). 😆

The point of the photo however was to show my idea of the perfect work shoe! These shoes have a slight lift, less than two inches, so they’re perfect for skinny pants, wide pants, skirts, and dresses. They have an almond toe. They have extra padding in the foot-bed. And they’re waterproof! They are by @RonWhiteShoes, who also makes great sneakers and boots.

Check out this week’s blog to shop Ron White and other comfortable and fashionable shoes for work. Link in bio! #rlsmusthave
