MENSWEAR: FROM DAY TO DATE

A simple button down plaid shirt can be transitioned from day to night easily. For day, pair with a classic t-shirt and hooded jacket with light jeans, topped with aviators. Impress your date by adding a skinny tie and swapping the hoody for a cleaned-up sweater. Switching your jeans out for a darker wash also lends to a more classic, tailored effect. All items pictured are from Heritage 1981.

WORKWEAR: NEW YORK AND COMPANY

Above are some great looks and individual pieces I love from New York & Company. They have a lot of great work day pieces from cute blouses and tops to cardigans to pencil skirts and skinny black pants. Add some interest to staple work pieces with playful accessories such as this colorful cocktail ring or a tote bag with an oversized bow. I love the denim pencil skirt for casual Fridays and this vintage inspired cardigan. Check out their retail stores located in most malls for an even wider selection of jewelry, cute tights, and many locations even carry shoes. Plus, they ALWAYS have a great sale going on.
