The Office – Switch Up to Dresses!

Wearing pants to work everyday gets boring. How about switching up to dresses? Dresses in the office are a rare sighting when most women prefer to wear skirts instead. Also finding the right dress isn’t always easy. If it’s too long or loose, you’ll run the risk of looking frumpy. Luckily a few major brands carry them in Petite. A look that saids comfort and style together at once. 😉

SHAWL COLLARS ARE REAL POPULAR THIS YEAR

Shawl collars seem to be selling everywhere. They are a definitely a great alternative to the v-neck. Unfortunately not all of them are offered in petite sizes but I’ve seen the J.Crew sweaters in person and they look perfect. They hit at the hip and weren’t long at all! Found this shawl collar look ranging from expensive $$$ to cheap $. 😉
