Pre Purchase Self-Styling for the Office

If you are like us, your wardrobe for the office may stump you from time to time. You find yourself staring at your closet, uninspired, holding a new top and figuring out what to wear it with. The added pressure of it usually taking place in the morning, when you have to get going, can further arrest your decision making abilities. So what can you do to mitigate these occurences?

Well, we have a secret weapon (ok, maybe not so secret): Polyvore.

This is an amazing site that allows you to search from a gazillion different pieces of clothing and accessories, from all around the internet, to assist in figuring out what could look good together. We've actually used it here too. You may have noticed some of our posts recently have been using ''sets'' (like the one on 'favorite trend from 2011'and 'pop of pink') which have helped us offer you suggestions on cute pieces for the office and what to wear them with.


Lex has been eyeing a coral silk blouse from Equipment, and used Polyvore to figure out if it's worth it. She put the below set together showing it can definitely go from the office into the weekend. It's worth the purchase!

It's also a great tool to find inspiration. Polyvore's database is full of opportunity! We recommend you try it yourself.
