Welcome to the first Fashionista's Weekly Outfit Restyle! Based on the poll response, we will focus on restyling our beloved jeans and t-shirt look. Today we'll take the jeans and t-shirt look to a professional level. Some offices have casual Fridays and some of you are the boss! This is the look to incorporate....

 

 

::Jeans & T-Shirt::

Old Navy White Scoop Neck T-Shirt $14.50

This ballet-inspired scoop-neck tee will give you instant attitude. Supremely soft, stretchy cotton, cap sleeves and a flattering fit make this easy to dress up or down. - gathered scoop neckline cap sleeves tiered hemline. This makes for a perfectly versatile shirt to wear as a basic in the office.

Abercrombie & Fitch Emma Boot $80

Dark-denim bootcut jeans are the best choice for the office because they harness the same qualities as black trouser pants. They add a polished and tailored look to your professional image because they frame heels nicely and they contour our shape fabulously! If you already own a pair of dark denim bootcut jeans- you go! If not, invest in a pair like these that will last forever. (P.S...I've had mine since 2007!)

::Work Elements::

Charlotte Russe Ruffled Jacket $29

What's exciting about this jacket is the fact that it's a waist minimizer and it has excellent detailing! The ribbon belt acts as a wasit highlighter because it draws the eye to the slimmest part of your body. Cap sleeves are excellent for Spring weather so you can stay cool on warmer days. This jacket is made of 100% cotton which means it's also comfortable. But just wash it in cold water to avoid shrinkage! ;)

Charlotte Russe Patented Leather Pumps $24.99

Ahhh, yes...the perfect and classic black pump! This is a must, must for my career ladies! Everything about this shoe says I'm a woman to be reckoned with! ;) Again, we're going for the classic, polished and professional look that every woman must have in the workplace. Not to mention, this shoe will spruce up denim jeans in a heartbeat!

mark. Arm Candy Bag $28

I highly recommend this delicious Arm Candy bag from mark. It has more storage than what meets the eye and it adds to your sophisticated jeans & t-shirt work-look. Details are especially important when dressing up jeans for work because it seperates you from casual and launches you into professional. Example...imagine if you saw a woman carrying a canvas tote while wearing jeans. Would you think she was meeting a client? Or going to the office? Not exactly. That's why it's important to include simple and classic accesory to your jeans and t-shirt.

Bonus Jewelry Tip: With a detailed jacket like the one shown above, it's important to remember to speak, therefore you should keep your necklace and/or earrings simple. Pendant necklaces and studded earrings would go beautifully with your jeans & t-shirt 'work-it' look!
