Back this Monday with another work wear look for outfit inspiration. Since I was in college, Express has been a go-to store for a lot of my professional outfit. They’re clothes fit me really well and they last a long time.

The Look

My favorite Express pants were the Editor style, but recently I have found myself loving the Columnist fit. These ankle pants are a great length for me and don’t require altering. I’m always between short and regular length. Short is too short and regular has to be hemmed. #shortgirlproblems

This look combines my favorite pattern (stripes) with a very classic pant. In my opinion, straight leg pants give a very chic, sophisticated look. Express now has a bunch of colors in the ankle pants and I have been eyeing the coral ones. The Portofino shirts are a great modern look. Wear it like this or tucked into a pencil skirt! Both are great options.

Depending on your job requirements, pick sensible shoes. My positions have always required me to walk and stand frequently. Not to mention since I work at a university…hike across campus. These wedges are a favorite of mine from DSW, but this particular color is sold out. The same style (in merlot) can be found here. I have found wedges are great, but also alternating high and low heels throughout the week saves my feet.

Until next post…xoxo Becca
