#NSale Office Appropriate Style Picks

I wanted to round out my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale series with a post on office wear. I saw so many good items that would be great as foundational pieces in a work capsule, so of course, I had to share. If you want to get a bit more mileage out of your work wardrobe, then opt for separates. This gives you a lot more potential to mix and match, resulting in more outfit options. Essentially, key to keeping your work wardrobe feeling fresh, especially if it’s quite a tidy little edit. TOPS & KNITWEAR JACKETS SKIRTS & TROUSERS DRESSES SHOES…

The Rule of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds

Today’s outfit leans heavily on the concept or rule of thirds. Over the years I’ve found myself eschewing outdated fashion rules in favour of new ones, and this particular styling tool is one that will transform the way you look at your outfits (if you’re not using it already, that is). Wearing Tibi sweater (old); Karen Walker trousers; By Far slingback heels; O My Bag mini bucket bag (use code MADEMOISELLE10 for 10% off) What is the Rule of Thirds?

6 Ways to Wear the Sezane Loulou trousers

6 Ways to Wear the Sezane Loulou trousers

I did a little call out on Instagram to see which item I should share how to style next, and the Sezane Loulou trousers came out on top. And I get the hype; if you’re after a wide leg trouser that will easily take you from work to weekend, these are it. They’re flattering too, which I assume is down to the high rise and side zip closure, removing any bulk from the front of the pant while adding the illusion of height.
