^^^ If you could wear one outfit every day, what would it be? Then upgrade it. Is it great jeans and a band tee shirt? Maybe wear the band tee shirt with a pencil skirt (a favorite move of mine). Wear a blazer with the jeans and tee. Wear a really fun shaped cardigan. Just expand on the outfit that you love the most, and you will feel better about your wardrobe, I promise. But you need to be true to you.

Yesterday: gray straight leg ankle pants-LOFT, purple space-dyed tunic sweater-bought at Stein mart, black Cole Haan ankle boots.
Today: rolled boy-friend jeans, Chuck Taylor slip-ons, concert tee, gray polkadot sweater (Talbots).
Reading these makes me feel really dumpy and un-stylish. How do you all find your style and choose the right pieces to look cool and still be yourself?? I actually hired a stylist to go shopping with me, and while I did learn some things from her, I find that I hate 90% of what I bought because it doesn't really flatter me or make me feel good. I think I bought it because she was telling me how good it looked and I wanted to believe her. She is an "expert" I hired, after all. Now, I think she chose things that look good on HER body type, not mine. We are totally different, and what I chose makes me look shapeless and dumpy. So mad I wasted that money and still don't know how to shop.

Yesterday: white Brooks Brothers button down shirt with long-ish gray cardigan from Club Monaco, Navy Ralph Lauren wide leg pants and black patent leather kate spade wedges, one of my favorite outfits
Today: tailor-made (in asia, super cheap, copy of a club monaco suit) gray suit, black ribbed tank top from Club Monaco, black wedge ankle boots from Dolce Vita that look bad with the outfit but had to b/c of the weather.
reading this makes me realize that i haven't been to a club monaco in years but some of my staples have lasted 5+ years and are still going strong!

Doesn't sound like work attire.
Definitely work appropriate!! I love this outfit.
Ditto. Wish I could rock this outfit. Totally would if I could!!!!
I'm the one who posted that outfit. While I know the PP was referring to the shoes as not being appropriate, they definitely were.
That said, I'm a size 10 and I rocked that outfit. It's very flattering. First time I wore it and DH joked that I should wear it everyday.

Yesterday: grey pencil skirt with cream pinstripes (Limited), cream v-neck 3/4 sleeve sweater (Ann Taylor), nude patent pumps (Nine West).
Today: black pixie pants (J Crew), maroon top with matching long, open-front cardigan (Talbots), black ankle boots (Munro). The boots aren't the most stylish things, but they're great for this morning's weather.
I like seeing people post the brands because it's fun to see how everyone mixes up different brands. I think it's inspriring to see outfits combine inexpensive base pieces (Costco, H&M, etc) with higher-end stuff. I'd like to do more of that!
