One of my biggest challenges has always been finding clothes I feel comfortable in, and that look appropriate for work – generally, I enjoy wearing yoga pants and graphic t-shirts.  But recently, I started a new job where I meet with other business professionals on a daily basis – and needles to say, I need nice fashion for work.

I can’t buy a whole new wardrobe at once, but if Stacey and Clinton (What Not to Wear) have taught me anything,  it’s to collect solid pieces, that you can mix and match. I hope you can join me as I work to develop my own style, and please leave your suggestions and related links.

My first new items of clothing include Aritzia’s Talula Exeter Blazer, dubbed a school boy blazer with a snug fit, and a couple of coloured T. Barton tanks, available for only $35 at Aritzia. They’re  perfect for layering under sweaters, shirts and evidently blazers.
