Avoid the WTW to Work Frenzy

According to United State Marine Corps recruits, the definition of the word “hurricane” is when drill sergeants dump all recruits' belongings in the middle of the barracks. “Hurricane” is also the definition of my closet when I cannot figure out what to wear to work. For many of us, what to wear to work is a persistent and recurring question Monday through Friday. You want to feel and look good in your office wear and your creative mind dismisses dressing dully. The best and easiest route to decide what to wear is knowing that simple and classy does not equal boring. A slight statement detail is all you need!

Dresses are the perfect one-and-done outfit. It is a double bonus when you can keep the ironing or steaming to a minimum (or even skip entirely). Choosing a lovely pattern in gorgeous coordinating colors is a fantastic way to ease into your Monday morning work routine.
