Wishlist Goal: Nikki became a Poplin client about 3 or 4 years prior to the creation of her list. After completing the Style 360, she was set for a few years. Now, she was back for a tune up. After working from home full time for two years, she was ready to liven things up now that she had a hybrid schedule. Folks at her company wear a wide range of clothing. Men typically wear some form of chinos or jeans with a button down shirt. For women, style is trickier. Because Nikki is a director, it’s important that she communicates her success while still wearing pieces that are appropriate for her workplace. She has always loved Anthropologie, but many of their pieces swallow her petite frame. When she reached out, I knew immediately that I wanted her in a Pendleton coat. It embodies her personal style, color palette and is a great way to up her game for work without seeming overdressed. I built the list from there ensuring that everything works with everything else.
What can be more fun than giving some new life to your existing collection? Because you have limited closet space, we’re being very intentional about this list. But, that isn’t stopping us from exploring some unexpected, expressive pieces that are functional for your new lifestyle of working predominantly from home and feeling more casual than when we first dove into your closet. Good times ahead!
First up, let’s get you a handbag that brings you joy, is easily identifiable and works perfectly with your new and existing collection. Thanks to the Rack, this one’s on sale, too.
You love accessories and the goal is to opt for pieces that feel authentic to you and help you feel elevated, even if you are at home all day. This one is good for the world, timeless, comfortable and works with everything.
Your Jamie Joseph ring is a favorite. Let’s keep that streak going and add on some layering rings to amp things up without distracting from the one of a kind feeling ring.
THIS. I’ve been dying to show it to you and it’s on super sale right now! This Pendleton coat is well made and has a timeless, identifyable print. I love this for you as it helps you elevate your look in a minute simply by swapping out a puffer. Super cold? Just layer a hooded puffer underneath and wear this as your final layer. I’d jump on this purchase before sizes go.
Jumpsuits are well suited for your lifestyle and this soft but polished choice from Anthro is a win for work or play.
Finish off this outfit of dreams with a new pair of booties. Either option give you the lift you are looking for and amp up a more casual look without getting too formal.
A favorite from Noonday, these lightweight leather earrings are expressive and also have a one of a kind vibe. Coordinating with your other earth tones, they are a soft alternative to metal.
Yes! You certainly need some Shibori Tie Dye in your life and this dress from Jarbo is everything. Try it with or without a belt, depending on whether or not you feel like showing your shape. Regardless of approach, this high quality dress will work throughout the year and have a special feel that you go back to again and again. (Also, this one is navy.)
Olive and army green are winners for you and it is clear that a leather jacket in either green is the final piece to pull so many outfits together. This choice from Walter Baker is SO good. The quality is wonderful and so is the price. (I have three…..) Try it with the dress above or the outfit below. Really, it works with this entire list and the majority of your existing closet and is a nice balance for the multiple prints on this list.
Because so much of your life is on Teams, let’s ensure that you have tops that make you feel put together, especially on important work days. This faux wrap creates more curves and the color is stunning on you. It’s also a nice neutral for pairing with the other choices. And, because you run cold, a long sleeve option is going to be especially useful.
Wide leg pants work well for your body type and your lifestyle. Fortunately, there’s an array of choices out there to offer up variety and still flatter your frame. I adore this pair from Anthro. Look how awesome it is with the green jacket!
Sneakers are the new normal, but they don’t have to bring down your look. This pair from Stella McCartney and Adidas is a fun departure from the Adidas you are currently wearing. Although, I absolutely support you continuing to rock those, as well.
Noonday has an array of jewelry options that are authentic to your personal style and all of the products empower women around the world. So, there are quite a few suggestions from Noonday on this list. I like this pair because they offer up texture without complicating things by adding additional colors. This means they work with nearly everything, but still feel unique.
Try those earrings with this duo from Aritzia. There’s an Aritzia at U Village, so you can also check out items IRL, but sizes go fast. This sweater is a nice alternative to another cardigan. It also shows your shape and keeps you warm.
Pair the faux wrap sweater with this sleeveless turtleneck, if you’d like. A workhorse that will keep going throughout the year, this adds texture and visual interest while keeping you comfortable.
Your cozy coat is working well for you now. It sounds like it’s also working well for your creative son, which is incredible, might I add. So, let’s make sure you’ve got a backup in case yours happens to disappear…..
High waisted pants flatter your frame, as long as the rise is right. I think this pair from Aritzia are going to work well. Available in multiple colors, they are comfortable and also make you feel more put together than a pair of jeans or “soft pants.” It’s a nice balance when it’s time to head to the office and these work well with heels or flats, too.
It’s true, the eternal hunt for a show stopping pair of yellow sneakers continues. Until then, I’ve turned my attention to super cool sneakers with yellow on them ;) This hip vegan pair is ideal with your collection and offers more lift than a traditional sneaker. Plus… yellow.
I couldn’t stop myself. You will be as cool as you are now on and off the slopes.
The second item on this. list because your Closet Edit confirmed that you need these.
Finish off this look with another stellar option for ankle boots. These are ORANGE.
The orange boots above are just right with this Shibori tie dye dress. Available in petite, it won’t overwhelm you and because it’s long, you’ll stay warmer. If you are still cold, consider adding a base layer underneath or topping it off with the denim jacket or leather jacket on this list.
I’m a big fan of these sizable fun earrings that are a twist on a traditional hoop.
Are you seeing this?! Obsessed.
Halter tops are super flattering for you and this dress is as comfortable as any of your shapeless jumpsuits. Plus, the print is flattering for your frame. Go! Go! Go!
We continue the trend of jewelry that doesn’t feel mass produced.
When we met years ago, we wanted to inject more sexy, sophisticated pieces into the mix, too. We did that. Over the years, COVID has made some of those pieces feel irrelevant. But, I also want to be sure we keep that feeling in your collection. This GREEN leather tank is a great way to do that. Try it with jeans for a casual and put together look or something much dressier for a night out. The price is right and because it is also Walter Baker, the quality is great, as well.
Madewell petite jeans have worked well for you. Let’s try J.Crew’s version. I’m a fan of this kick crop pair for your body shape and starting with a petite choice makes tailoring even easier, if necessary.
How about a fresh shapeless jumpsuit that is expressive, comfortable and works well with your color palette?
Loving this faux wrap blouse with a subtle print. It’s another great choice for Teams meetings and pairs nicely with all the coats and jackets on this list.
Another edgy, sexy and super functional piece, these kick crop jeans from Frame are incredibly flattering for your figure and the waxed or coated denim has a leather like vibe.
The knit top we picked up years ago was a win but it is time for a replacement. This halter from Aritzia is a fresh and still timeless approach.
Let’s face it, working from home means that we don’t always want to wear real pants ;) This pair of lounge pants feel like pajamas without making you also feel like a slob. Let’s hear it for progress. Try them with the halter top above to keep things elevated or go for a tee for the full lounge effect.
Slip on shoes are vital right now as you want something you can toss on when you head out the door to drop the boys somewhere. I’m really into this pair for you as they come in natural, rather than white, so they are more appropriate to the vibe and color scheme of your collection. And, of course, they look great with the pants above.
A denim jumpsuit is so you and these are two options that will make this a go-to whether you are heading to the office, at home or out in the world.
I couldn’t make this entire list without a pair of yellow shoes to recommend! This slip on sneaker in suede, your fav!, is sure to get lots of action and the price is right, too.
I think you’ll have a lot of fun with Farm Rio. This dress, in particular, is crazy flattering and the fabric is nice and soft. You’ll never want to take it off. The deep V has a sexy vibe that you won’t want for work, but will otherwise love.
We also absolutely need the right yellow top. Here it is.
Last, but certainly not least, this pair of super casual joggers is sure to bring you joy and work well as another comfortable option that can easily be elevated. Try them with a heel to give your look that extra boost.
And there you have it! This list is so fun and I can’t wait to see what excites you. Enjoy and keep me posted.
