Disclosure: Thank you to Nordstrom and ShopStyle for sponsoring todays post.
Enjoyable Fact: Before the days of Living in Yellow, I worked at a cooperative credit union and definitely LOVED it. I prosper on interaction with others and after working from home for a number of years, physically going into the LIY workplace for conferences with the Team offers me a humiliating quantity of serotonin. While our gown code [, if thats what you want to call it] is pretty lax, Im a firm follower that how you dress shows how you feel. And on the days my clothing hit the borderline of business expert, I feel ready to handle the world. But I get it– when Fall rolls around, it can be easy to get stuck in a what-to-wear rut. Never fear! Today were here to share eight head to toe work-friendly tries to find Fall, with a little help from Nordstrom.

You much better think Im a frequent Nordstrom shopper, so being a part of the Nordy Club offers me plenty of opportunities to make Notes for future shopping journeys, free changes, early access to shopping events, and so much more! Whether youre working from home or back in the workplace, Nordstrom is here to make sure youre the finest dressed in and out of the workplace.
Dressed to Impress
Knot Sheath Dress [real to size]// Heels [true to size] Ladies, theres just something about a LRD [little red dress] that makes me feel so empowered and all set to get the job done. Im a firm believer that every lady needs one of these powerhouse numbers in her wardrobe. A modest v-neck is hard to come by [the struggle is REAL, I received from my mom!], however this one has my approval. I also like the expert length and flattering wrap around the waist.
Layer Up, Buttercup!
Think Pink
