After I made my imaginary small, fair wardrobe for work, I told Jo that I would make her one too. I finally made good on that promise.  :) Since I know some of her preferences + her employer's dress code, this little collection is pretty customized. Almost all of the pieces here are secondhand (+ pretty awesome!). I very much enjoy trying to collect pieces that will mix + match + layer in so many ways. I used most of the same principals here that I did in my original post.

I like how every single one of the tops could be layered over the dress. A top + the cardigan would even work with the dress. The tee paired with the jeans + a pair of Vans (they didn't fit into the grid) could be quite casual. The cardigan could be layered on for cooler days. Another casual outfit could be made with the Vans + tee (tied at the hip with the knot turned under + the dress (tied at one knee). The button up can be worn tucked into the pleated pants, tied over the dress or layered (both under + over). That's just the beginning of the looks that could be created. Lots of choice.  :)

Twelve pieces that could make up a very versatile work wardrobe for Jo:
-black jeans
-pleated pants
-skirt 
-dress
-cardigan
-pullover
-top
-tee
​-button up 
-oxfords
-boots
​-Vans

Hope you like it, Jo!

Mama (Jane)  :)
