I got their slim jogger cargos in black and dark green, cute plain white leather Reebok’s, their Kiara blouse which is so cute, and a Sherpa and denim jacket. For dressing up mildly, I got a lady cardigan and dark jeans with a bralette. I also got the baggy wide leg Paloma jeans to wear with tight vests. Last year I got very cute black combat-ish boots I like to wear with slip dresses and off the shoulder sweaters for dinner etc.
Why would your occupation have any bearing here…is there a “lawyer mom” style that’s different from “data analyst mom”?
Ha sorry I guess because I have to go to the office sometimes still but now it’s all “business casual” ish. And I still need suits some days.
And you also need to tell everyone you are a lawyer?
I have to say I’m impressed how lawyer mom didn’t take the bait.
You should give it a rest.

I think it works well for my business casual law office and is very comfortable and also okay if I have something at the kids school after.
I just bought a jersey shirt dress from Biden and I think it’s a pretty good work horse dress with boots. I wore it today with a cropped jacket for work but it would also be fine on its own.
I really love a chunky turtleneck sweater with jeans or straight leg pants. I was looking for another and it’s getting really hard to find natural fibers -/ I have one in a cotton shaker knit and one in a merino wool but they are each about a decade old.
I also got a cashmere crewneck that I love to wear with wide leg pants and just tucked in.
This is basically my wear to work wardrobe for the week. Weekends I barely leave the house but can wear some variation of that. Oh and my brown leather moto jacket which will give that poster from the other thread a heart attack.
This is very similar to what I wear as well. I don't consider myself fashionable or trendy, but I think I always look put together. I get a lot of complements on my clothes anyway, both from people my age and the young women I work with

They’re definitely dated and giving 2016 fashion blogger Christian Girl Autumn. Looks these days are cleaner, more streamlined, less busy and not so over-accessorized. Skinny jeans if you should choose to wear them - not distressed or ripped, and worn with plain sneakers, or I’m seeing pointed toe flats and boots, and loafers quite a bit too.
Sweaters - slightly cropped, or hip length and relaxed fit, but not tunics. Same story for cardigans, no longer or “waterfall” style open cardigans. Shorter ones ok.
Accessories - small and neutral jewelry. No “statement” anything, no huge earrings, no blanket scarves. Bags are seemingly anything goes right now.
Blanket scarves are still worn, but in that more oversized look in a plain color
