Young Professional Lookbook- Winter

Hello there! It's been a while, yeah? My life has been CRAZY recently. But, putting that aside, I am quite excited about today's post! Since I have recently entered the working world, I have been putting a lot of thought into what I wear. I know that it seems vain, but here's my thoughts:
I am at least 9 years younger than everyone I work with. That's actually a pretty big deal. So it's important to me to be able to stand out as a younger woman. So, I have worked hard every day to put together outfits that make it known that I am younger, while still looking professional. Because I refuse to wear black slacks and a different three-quarter length shirt every day. Now. Wait. If you wear that, more power to you. But it's not for me, at all. So, here's a few of my favorites that I've put together!

*Quick plug before we start: I made a photography portfolio page. It would mean a lot to me if you checked it out! It should be on the right of my home page.*

The Color Block:
I got this whole outfit at the store Torrid. Now, when I first heard of this store, I ran far, far away. I didn't want to be singled out as a "big girl" that had to buy clothes at a special store. But when I actually went inside the store, I fell in love. This is one of my favorite outfits I own.


I couldn't get the pants in good detail, but they have black lace down the outside of each leg, which is super flattering. 


The Summertime Sadness

I have just recently started wearing this outfit, as it gets closer to spring. It is probably still too cold for it, but, hey, a girl can dream, right?


I know that hands in pockets aren't flattering, but IT HAS POCKETS. 

The Hipster

This one brings out the hipster in me. I love it. The colors are all perfection, and, of course, I'm obsessed with my boots. 

(The tights are purple, if you can't tell.)

God Bless The USA
This one makes me feel all patriotic. I want to apologize in advance, because the pictures aren't great. 


I HEART my star denim vest.


Jean Day

I have two outfits that I picked for jean day option. One is more casual than the other. 

The first one is the more casual. I actually stole my dad's flannel shirt, hehe. 


The next one is less casual, but I'm still rocking the cardigan. Cardigans make my world go 'round. I couldn't live without them. This outfit is also featuring the same black shirt from the color block outfit. 


And that is it! I hope you enjoyed, and if you are a young professional like myself, I hope you got some wardrobe inspiration!

Thank you so much for reading!
