Great advice. +1

Give her a budget and tell her to pick out her own clothes for her job. She’s a college grad. She had a job. Her mommy should not be fretting over this as if she were a middle schooler.

This 1000%

I understand that she does not want tops that are cropped but she tried on some cute tops at Evereve but she thought they were too short in the front (narrator: they weren’t).

The pickings are slim right now at most places as summer fabrics are sold out.

Any ideas (links) for tops she could wear with black pants? She has a few light weight cardigans and a few Pranayama cardigans from Athleta (that I assume count as business casual). She needs tops to wear under those (preferably tunic length). Is Amazon the answer?

Thanks for any help!

Set up an appointment for her at mm La Fleur or Nordstrom. Tell them she needs a work wardrobe and budget is $x. Problem solved

I did an order from mm La fleur once and it was trash. The dress felt like they made it from dentist bib material.

Send her to a Nordstrom personal stylist, and offer to pay for a her first stitch fix box.
